Retired janitor at my office sought my assistance about this on Monday

His normal bet is six football teams, 6 x£1 5-folds and £1 6-fold.  He bets this every midweek and Saturday.

He writes teams on betting slip and doesnt use coupons.

He did his normal bet on Saturday, sixth selection he wrote 'Milan'

All six won.  Batfred split his stake on basis that his sixth selection is ambiguous in that he didnt make it clear whether he meant AC Milan or Inter.

I have never heard anyone refer to Inter as Milan.

Old guy thought he was on £530, Batfred gave him £265. 

AVOID BATFRED LIKE THE PLAGUE.

pablo - cheers

We are based in Scotland

Jim has two local tabloids on the case.

Even if he doesn't get his £265, local bad publicity will cost old Baldy a damn sight more than that £265

Everyone in the football world knows Milan is AC Milan and Inter is Inter Milan ,there is no ambiguity at all,hope your mate takes this further to ensure he gets the proper pay out.

You can rest assured if Inter had played & won at a bigger price than AC the bet would have been settled as AC  only as the sixth team, that is pretty much a certainty with this bunch of shysters.

Ambiguous selection in my book.

If he had prices marked on slip, that may sway things in his favour slightly.

On this weeks coupon, Fred has listed, AC Milan & Inter Milan.  As we are talking about a betting slip, Milan could be either.

What 'everyone in the football world knows', is irrelevant.

Absolute disgrace. To me, it's clear as day. One team is called Internazionale or Inter, and the other is Milan. AC Milan even use the anglicised 'Milan' (as opposed to the Italian Milano that Inter later added to their official name).

the bet should hve been settled as follows
5x50p losing 5 folds
1x50p losing 6 fold

1x1pound winning 5 fold
5x50p winning 5 folds
1x50p winning 6 fold

if he was expecting 530 he should have received more than the 50% of 265

put the prices up

if AC MILAN had got beat and inter milan won.
there would be a outcry, saying the stakes should split between both teams.
on the occassion i agree with the bald cant
