I placed a bet yesterday in billie hills on Strategic Force at 33/1 as advertised on screen. I asked the guy behind the counter to take the price, he circled it and tapped it into his machine. It was an obvious mistake on their part, instead of pushing it to 15/2 on screen, they pushed it right out to 33/1.
Just before the race the guy comes over to me and says they have just had a message come through on their PC intranet thing and any bets taken at 33/1 were to be paid out at 15/2.
It didn't win, it came second at 6/1 (or thereabouts).
My questions, if it had won, where would I stand? Could I have taken it further to be paid out the whole £3400? And now it's lost, could I claim the £100 stake back as I had been misled when placing the bet?
The latter would be cheeky, as I knew fine well it was an error on their part, but for the future can anybody shed any light?

Palpable error seems to play out consistently

why would you expect to be paid on a price you obviously new was wrong

a more interesting question would be how you managed to get £100 on a 33/1 shot in Billies in the first place

if you knew it was an error then you must have known it was mission impossible to get £340 after bet checks etc... A cheeky 50p e/w may have slipped through but thats it

FFS I thought it was a tenner, now you've been flagged up as untouchable as well for being cheeky.
