tom you have missed the point, I was using 100% books to illustrate why its wrong to relate two tournaments.
If betfair were to offer a doubles market for every combination in the next two tournaments the book would be the actual double price with no reduction in price where it is assumed the player has already won the 1st tournament. |

It's perfectly fair to relate two tournaments.
It's right to say the outcome of the second is not directly affected by the outcome of the first tournament, but the price is. You can't get the price on the second tournament once the first tournament has been settled so you can't have them in a double, unless they offer a special double price. |

had acall from my mate yesterday.He has a letter now from betfred services stating that in their opinion the bets are related and that a golfer winning the first tourney is more likely to win the second.They sometimes offer a special for this at less than the true multipliewd odds ,though not in this instance.Therefore under their rule 9 the stake goes on the largest priced selection and would he accept281.60.Now i did ask how 15n pounds of bets could be settled as such as it doesnt add up anyway ican see and i dont have a copy of betfred rules so advised him to contact iBAS which betfred themselves suggested

not great, youd think they would at least give the double of scottish open price taken multied with open starting price !!
id get him to copy this thread, and add to any letter he sends to ibas, it may have no bearing but id be pretty sure the bookies have already read it |

He's a million with IBAS.
I have seen betfred rules and like it or not they have acted totally within their rules. |

Accept they have their rules but surely these are flying in the face of common sense, Your friend put his bet on i presume on the Sunday morning,for argument sake if he put his £5 on Phil at 10/3 as a win instead of a double and then went and put the £21.66 on him to win the Open at the lesser price nobody would have said a word to him. A very mean settlement and the wording of them offering a special sometimes is pure flannel.
Probably will have to settle for the £281 still i,d voice my dissatisfaction and would go still to ibas. Can actually see the scenario if your friend is an infrequent user of the shop,say maybe goes in there once a week and did the bet for convenience given the proximity of the two tournaments. |
