people won't ever change because we're afflicted by the can't be bothered to make the effort malaise, it's the same as bothering to look for better deals on energy bills insurance etc etc, we can't be ar5ed to make the effort when it comes to it and are always happy to stick where we are because we see it as a hassle to make the effort, but we still want to moan about it when it goes t1ts up...it'll never change.

You dont seem to have understand the concept of risk when dealing with an online site and how to keep those risks  to a minimum when the unpredictable happens.

Of course just coming onto the forum and whinging is the easiest thing to do.

Murphy's law,
It never hapens on a back to lay ie. back a horse at say 4.0 with a view to lay it at 3.8 site crashes your £1000 back bet stands site crashes horse wins happy days. Always seems to happen when you lose

I can understand a couple of the races like the Imperial Cup infuriating people wanting to perhaps lay off but the vast majority of bets are struck half an hour or less before the off. If you bet on football of course you have every reason to feel aggrieved.
