went into independent bookies last week and tried to have £60 @ 8-1 on robben 1st goal in champs league - the price that was on the screens - the girl in the shop rang up someone and said the price was now 11-2
Now i don't mind them reducing the stake (well actually I do) but I've not heard of bookies not laying live screen prices
Can they do it ?

Toffee....Its actually common and whats worse is if the clerk lays your bet without checking with head office they can settle it at 11/2 even if it meant you mightn't have accepted those odds and placed it at higher odds elsewhere.
This standard is acceptable to IBAS on the basis that betting is a done in a fast changing enviroment  |

i can understand people being turned away for £500+ but that bookie is taking the piss

Forget IBAS, try applying superglue to the locks and FOBT orifices instead. It will give you more satisfaction.

Yeah I think probably the main reason I took to Betfair was once you got matched you were a 100% sure on what you were going to get back and at what odds.
Sadly even with Betfair those days have come to an end with the introduction of Premiun Charges. Now your only sure what odds you had until Wednesday mid-day before the Premiun Charges get deducted  Life goes on I suppose.....Cheers |
