The advertising blurb would pretty much write itself;

I have a dream! So, take a chance on me, gimme gimme gimme the money money money, as the name of the game is 'The winner takes it all!'

I'll downgrade it to a 8 out of 10

I totally understand been betting for over 50 years, always had a dream to make a living from betting, 10 years ago found matched betting,made quite a few grand and needless to say got banned or restricted by the bookies, then found a great way of arbing the dogs, basically I had to take the price of a bookie then lay it off on betfair, had to be lightning fast, and I made more money on that than anything, but once again I got restricted and banned, so now at 63 I stick to betfair only, at 63 I don't have much time left to realise my dream but I won't give up.

Well instead of continually opining on here, complain to Paddys. If you had a paid entry they cannot void it without refunding your stake.

Where have i continually , i made one post and they should be exposed thats the  problem here it was suppose to be for punters but looks and sounds like they all been banned and only bookie friendly left

I've been banned from beat the drop for years.

It used to be a fun punt.

Being terminated mid game rings a bell, there was a thread about it on here. But
years ago.

Are they at it again?
Report DixieDean60 July 23, 2026 9:46 PM BST
This is at least the second thread you've been whinging about Paddys on, how would i know it was Beat The Drop otherwise  Laugh

Instead of bleating on here about it (makes a change from accusing players of being corrupt because your footy bet is losing i suppose) , try making a complaint to them.

Unless you are suspected of foul play they cannot simply void a paid bet without at least refunding your stake.

Refunding steak on a 15 leg acca after 6 winners didn't seem fair way back when, and
still wouldn't be.

Dixie aint a punter one of bookies mates
Report DixieDean60 July 23, 2026 10:37 PM BST
Christ you come out with some bilge abba. 

Saying i'm not a punter when you don't even know me, i've been betting every day since i was 14 you twonk, several school teachers even made reference to it on my school reports - one wrote "i've long been under the impression that the only course he is interested in is the racecourse" Laugh. I did ok in my exams though, so had the last laugh.

Messi has missed 34 out of 150 penalties that he has taken in competitive games so is hardly infallible. Anyone who really thinks that a multi millionaire international player of his standing would deliberately miss a spot kick shouldn't be allowed near a betting account.

Donny - it's not an acca though is it ? You play it event by event and alter the points gambled as you go. It's not like picking 15 horses or football teams to win in an acca where the events and odds are known at the time of placement. Obviously there is no cash out "as you go" because you have no idea which events will be picked for prediction until the current one has been settled. 

The majority of entries on Beat The Drop will be freebies. Obviously some people will play a paid entry and these should not be be voided without a valid reason. If that has happened then a complaint should be made to PP.

It's an acca if you've got 6 correct and taken all in option.

I accept that it differs in potential, but my reference was to some dim distant thread that I think I'm right about the position of
a cancelled bet.

Plus

Some of these were free bets so no steak to return...
Report DixieDean60 July 23, 2026 11:09 PM BST
But it's not an acca in the true sense, it's a game.  And usually a free one.

Excerpt from PP rules

If you have been sent an email from Paddy Power excluding you from promotions, you will not qualify for Beat the Drop.

We reserve the right to withdraw the availability of this offer to any player or group of players or to modify the terms and conditions of this promotion at any time, if players are in the middle of a game when they are excluded, the game will be voided.

Same rules last time...

Some things never change, still doesn't make it right.

Some folk may even be arbing when it gets late in the game.

It's good that folk continue to highlite how potentially unfair, and risky these free games, and paid games, are.
Report DixieDean60 July 24, 2026 12:29 AM BST
Well if you go deep in to the game with a full bank you don't really need to arb, just split the stake.

There is very little chance of PP just voiding a game on a whim, there must be more to it. Especially so if it really was a paid for game.

Of course if you keep winning on the freebies without staking any real cash then sooner rather than later you will be barred from promos, whoever the bookie is.
