i placed the following bet in bet  fred on friday ,20 win on dimension and asked for price ,she checked amd wrote 4/1 wrote on slip......i saw the 4/1 on the screen myself,when i collected i was given £90 instead of £100.....i asked if there was a rule 4 ,no was the  reply........when i placed the bet the screen showed 4/1 but due to a delay in data updating the system  the price is not guaranteed !! the price had changed 1min and 4 seconds before i asked for the price !!even though 4/1 was on the screen......is this not fraud ? after speaking to customer services and area manager i was told to be sure your price is ok ,before the start of a race you should present your slip again to have it confirmed !........its not a busy shop and im not surprised ......another customer lost

Had a similar experience about 4years ago, a manager was training i had to place my bet with the trainee i asked for the price 5/1 at that moment the trainee checked the screen asked the manager for conformation and manager nodded,the trainee then made a mistake asked for help and then entered my slip,i watched the race it won,i went to collect to be told that that 7/2 was the price at time of asking????? i pointed out price on slip and that they had been slow putting  betting slip in machine? No he is learning there is nothing we can do came the reply. I left the shop in disbelief.

Absolutely ASTOUNDING.

What next? - EVERYBODY have to "present" EVERY "slip AGAIN to have it confirmed" that their bet was put throug  - irrespective of taking a price, or not.

Imagine GRAND NATIONAL day.Laugh

What an absurd 'cop out'.Cry

placed a bet in a bet fraud office a while back.when i went to collect they told me it was void as it had been placed 'after the off'.the bet was taken and my slip handed back to me so I naturally assumed the bet was on.
had it lost I would have walked out and been none the wiser
not been in one since.theyre a joke outfit

Get everyone that you know to write to their MP demanding that any sleepers (unclaimed winning or void bets) should be given to charity.That should put a hole in their profits.
