he should hal, but i would be fairly sure he had no part in determinimg the offer and would have been fed the info, clearly something went wrong
he should have got it right, i assume it was an error, if on the otherhand it was deliberate then i'd have a different view of what should happen |

a well run company would turn williams's **** up into a pr success,this just goes to show what a shambles ladcrooks are.As for the ML apology dont hold your breath, im sure all connected with the programe will have been "compensated" already.

By:
i agree with you about turning it into a pr success, it would be pretty easy to make it right

I think Williams wasn't fully briefed on the offer and hence 'mis-sold' it to the ML viewers. That doesn't in anyway excuse his culpability.
It was Ladcrokes big sponsorship day and they wanted to milk the publicity. However, Hil1s tweeted their even money Camelot offer late on Friday evening to try and upstage Ladcrokes. Sure this took Lads by surprise and imagine some boffs were up early to come up with something to match it. They came up with the offer and only updated Williams shortly before on air. Seems plausible. |

By:
The offer was already planned in advance.
Williams is just incompetent |

Or the people who briefed him are

u cannot come up with an offer like this overnight they would have to send it to their actuaries who would factor in how much they could lay back on here the state of their book in on the day and see if they thgought it was worth it risk v publicity.
anyone that thinks the PR people just thought "Hee u know what i think it would be great PR if". |

By:
As i'vc said earlier on here it's CH4 that are culpable.
They choose to give REP-tiles free advertising, and obviously trusted Williams implicitly, because they never checked the offer themselves... Or would that be too much to ask ? |

This is my email to Tanya re David Williams:
Tanya If you do not mention this buffoon's outrageous lies on last Saturday's Morning Line then I shall be disappointed as I have always categorised you as someone who will fight for what is good and right and not someone who would hide under a shell. It would also be nice to hear John McCririck's views live on screen. There are hundreds of poor people out there, I not being one, who took Williams' word for granted and are now lumbered with a useless free £20 bet, some of whom are unable to use it due to the restrictions being applied by Ladbrokes so-called traders. If we hear nothing then I can only assume you are all fighting to become part of the new lineup in January. Incidentally, thank you for replying to my last email some two years ago, I appreciated it. Regards |

trying to be objective is hard because i can't stand williams, he comes across as an arrogant ****
|

By:
the ML apology will be filed alongside other unmentionables such as 16 runner h'caps that miraculously become 15 runner,& sp returns on winners that regularly shrink from the last show.

Swardean,
good afternoon. The offer was in saturdays R P, which suggests it was live some time prior to 11.00 p.m. on friday evening, the first printed edition in London ! As you say D W culpable, but surely to God he should of understood the offer ! ?? |

By:
I'm having difficulty in understanding how Laddies have compensated some punters for the Camelot fiasco but not others...
|
|
By:
I don't take much notice of or interest in Flat racing but didn't Badblokes offer a similar concession on the Derby? Back Camelot (up to £20 I believe) at 1/2; get £30 if he wins, £20 back if he doesn't.
Can't recall how i learned this but went down to both their shops in Cheltenham to get my £40 on. Of course in that case the beast won so no damage done. Some sort of precedent surely?? |
