Betfred pricing error?

Perfectly entitled I'm afraid. i would have thought you can cancel your point though if you ring through

Did you not think it was odd that you could get 20/1 about a horse that you could lay at 7/1?

£700 not been matched on that horse or am i missing something

put a play for a 100,or put a call out on here for chompy_boy ,he has a statisticall breakdown for those drawn 2 at catterick likely price over the first two furlongs on gf going with the stalls on the inside.

His allways helpful to the home punter in my experience.

.

Just back in & checked my emails.. email from bet fred accounts as follows:

I am replying to your email regarding the 16:50 race at Catterick. I am sorry to inform you that the price you took on Lee's Anthem at 6/1 was the correct price displayed and we cannot cancel the bet in any circumstances.

We note that the price now stands at 20/1 and we are more than happy for you to place another bet at the new price. I regret that we cannot cancel a bet due to an obvious pricing error if it works in our favour and we advise that your bet placed this morning at 6/1 stands.
If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Nope, I think you have rumbled him

Perfectly entitled I'm afraid. i would have thought you can cancel your point though if you ring through

ring through to who - betfred have already cancelled the bet
the only bet struck now is a lay presumably with Betfair - unable to be cancelled

your point? - what does this mean?

obvious palp, stupid to think ud get 20s, even tho u havent laid for 700 as onli 250ish been matched

Under £600 on the horse,total,at the minute.

All bookmakers have rules for human error- and can either cancel bet or offer corrected price. I'm not sure it's fair.
Years ago @ Windsor we were pricing up a novice chase and I put up 40-1 instead of 14-1 when a lad came over and had 2000-50. My dad immediatly realised the mistake - laid the laddo. and gave me a lesson in life - as he refused to pay my wages.
Needless to say the horse got beat.
If someone makes a mistake on Betfair he can't have the same protection as Betfred. Funny how the games so different?

so he hasnt layed it for £700, what is the point in these freds, whats wrong with people

I presume he meant he had laid £100 @ 7/1 = £700 liability.

I laid it at 7s and backed it at 20s and have a liability of 80k, but I will back it at one oh won if it wins to gren up. HTH.

what you on about you have liability of 80k

Winkle out all these winkles - they are doing my head in

Makes you laugh...These people getting big bets on with boldfred..LOL My arse !

lol this has grew legs i see? just for the record never said i layed the whole £700 on betfair.. anyhow traded out to a small loss sadblokes went 13/2 on gower sophia for a bit helped myself end of!!

Couldh've been worse may not have checked my emails nag wins and my betfair account takes a hit!!

Take it to a Small Claims Court.
Palpable Error is not now legal once the bet is accepted by the betting "expert" bookmaker Betfred.
Betfred are not allowed to impose any betting conditions that are illegal.
