You may claim not be a liar, but you are a cheat, OP
that is, although you are being endorsed by plenty of other cheats it seems. |

I had a bet on overpriced odds of the time of 1st goal markets with betfred 15mins 30mins. Covered over 30 mins with another bookie so no risk bet. Betfred cancelled my bet unknown to me 5 mins before kick off and I lost a lot of money. So keep the money as they screw us every day.

If it is true (?) tell them to do one.Long gone are the days of being honest with the filth that portray themselves as "bookmakers"...
Tell them you put the cash in the FOBT on the way out and you will write to the local paper and tell them that you have had £50 stolen from you.And will get that back quickly... |

Withdrew the money 3 days later they mailed me saying we have made a mistake however as a gesture let me keep it then apologized for any inconvenience lol i did check though & legally they couldn't force me to as the bet was settled Rate reply: | report block user jed.davison jed.davison 11 Mar 13 22:33 Joined: 16 Mar 11 | Topic/replies: 546 | Blogger: jed.davison's blog The chances of them taking you to court are close to zero. The chances of them winning are absolutely nil. As the chap above states, they had three chances to check that the odds and payment were correct before you got your hands on their cash. No way in the world will they want to expose their own cluelessness in open court. these 2 together sum it up right imo. GL with it. Teddy, hope you are well and winning. |

How can anyone give an opinion on your 'bet' without
your disclosing the facts? if you want an opinion, you should give the full facts, otherwise you are cheating. |
|
By:
Not at all. I'd also like an answer to the question I asked you previously about the 1/10 vs 11/10 bet etc and an honest one at that. Can you understand why I'm not revealing the bet as yet?
|
|
By:
It is hard to give a full opinion without the bet as if it was meant to be a really short price then its going to be obvious you took advantage of it, but its obviously up to you when you post it, just going to have some people calling you out without the bet.
I have no reason to doubt your story and hope you get a good outcome. |

By:
Thank you. I get why some people don't believe it, but I don't like being branded as a liar, cheat, fisher, whatever terms you care to use when it's not really a made-up fantasy and I've proven that much. It's interesting to see who's for and against my case though, and it appears 90% are for. I've also replied to your PM, Levskie.

shrewd move withdrawing the money in cash, a definite sign you were cheating though.
 cunning execution but shifty as hell |

I had an account with the same bookmaker until last year but closed it as I was going to give the game up, withdrew numerous times in cash as the branch is 50 yards from the bank that I bank with and it's at my disposal straight away. Saves waiting 5 days for it.

IMO ocukstinky, I would get on the phone to Laddies, explain to them you are deeply sorry. Explain that your realise that you have sinned that you will repay the £947 in full and also pay them a additonal £100 as a gogw towards the end of year staff party kitty to make it up to them and to show you have seen the error of your ways...
|
|
By:
exactly, if you had waited 5 days you'd have not got it.
You've got away with it though. Just ignore any correspondence. |

Feck me. I'm a shareholder. 0.001p of that £947 is mine

ocukstinky - ignore the abusive posts, rest easy in the fact that there's very little they can do to get it back and also be sure to remember that there is not a single soul here who when sitting there with £950 in their hands, would walk back to the bookies and give it back.

Clydebank - cheque will be in the post once with interest it reaches 1p
 Sorry ken, it was on the other thread. If someone wanted £1000 on a 1/10 when it should have been 11/10, would you give it back if they had lost? If they had won, would you return £1100 or £2100? |
|
By:
Hang on, that doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Punter wants £1000 on 11/10, it's written on a slip as 1/10. What happens? |
|
By:
If it lost would they have give you the £1 back NOPE
Like someone else said just say its all in FOBT machine Nothing can happen here FACT |
|
By:
Depends on the event Ocukstinky, horse racing he would get the price of the bet at the time struck according to the database, be that pre race or early price. If it was football he would get the price at KO on the server IMO.

Lets say it was an in-play snooker match, first to 5, player a was 4/9 pre match, leads 4-2 and is 1/10. FWIW this has no bearing on my event, just made it up.
Once had a treble on the darts, one was in-play, 2 were later on. £10 on 6/5 (in play), 11/4 and 1/3. They all won. I assumed the computers captured the odds according to the time the bet was struck, but when I went to collect my winnings she said the in-play one was void because it hadn't been stated on the slip. Told her I thought the machine captured time/price and synched up. Apparently doesn't work like that. She refused to pay up, told her I'd stand there arguing all night if I had to. After an hour and a half she gave in and paid me. What does that tell you |
|
By:
FFS it's late and I'm even confusing myself here. Ignore the above example. Player a is 4/9 pre match, but trails 2-3 and is now 11/10. 1/10 is written on the slip.

In the other thread ken has stated he doesn't answer hypothetical questions, which says to me he's as guilty as every other bookmaker out there and has mugged off many a customer in his time in the name of profit. I'm off to bed, let the opinions roll in..

I had to argue with billy hills to cash out last week then basically told them i was an addict and needed it out or else id lose on roulette.They paid into my neteller and then today i back a horse at cheltenham the free £10 + bet is meant to guarantee a free bet so ive been back at them for it but apparently i dont qualify.I have the letter here which states it.But when losing they never bother accounts.If you are seriously thinking of giving that cash back give up gambling.You placed a bet and it won

It all depends on how strong you are mentally. They will write to you, phone you and email and will try and make you believe that they are right and you are wrong. When all is said and done, to get a price on a website and for it to be paid out, the bet and price has to go through the system of checks and balances. If something goes wrong it is 100% their fault. If you placed a bet for £100 meaning it to be £10 and asked them to cancel it as it was a mistake they would tell you to get stuffed you should have checked, so the same principle applies.
You should also mention between the lines that should they pursue it you will let every newspaper, tv show, website, forum and man on the street know how this firm treats its customers when they have a winner. Any bookmaker would pay 100 times what you got to avoid bad publicity. Your in the power position and dont let them bully you. Good luck. |

great post maza, totally agree

One thing a punter should remember, the onus is on
the him to write his bet correctly, if he doesn't do that, he is at the mercy of the rule book. Re taking prices, these should be confirmed when the bet is struck, at that is how it was when I was behind the counter. Normally the price should be written on the betting slip and then confirmed by the counter clerk. |
