You ask for £80 to win horse A which is 7/2, the bookie makes a "mistake" and gives you a ticket for horse B which is the rag at 150/1 which happens to win. You are about to throw your ticket away when you discover that you have a ticket that says your return is  £12080.
Legally which horse  are you on?

Interesting question... Think Delta might be right, you'd be on whatever the ticket says.

Can I have an even £100 on what Scenario 2 is going to be?
Report mmmalushka November 1, 2015 10:11 AM GMT
Well if I had a ticket for 7/2 I would have binned it.

On presenting 150/1 ticket the aforementiond bookie says sorry I made a mistake and hands you a ticket for horse A and claims that you were gone before he noticed it.

there can be no debate about it . Go stand in the (very short) payout queue. It is as much the bookies responsibility as the punters to ensure the contract is as requested by the punter , however if the bet was struck on course the bookie will probably have a voice recording of the transaction. One for the ring inspector methinks?

Don't think many bother these days.

The ticket is the legal bet,not something you might or might not have said !

Think about it this way,you write a bookies slip and go home to watch the bets,who do you think they will pay out on when you go back to the shop with your slip Plain
Report mmmalushka November 1, 2015 12:23 PM GMT
This is oncourse, so legally they would pay out then on presenting ticket B despite the intention was to back A?

Said bookie will pay as on seeing his liability before the race he will have had a pony on **** at 1000 hth
Report sunnyleith November 1, 2015 12:54 PM GMT
the fact that the bookie said "sorry ,I made a mistake" is the whole crux of the matter. He has admitted liability therefore must pay out .He would be very quick to point out that you had backed a rag @150/1 and told you that you were on a loser if the 7/2 shot had won and you had presented the 150/1 shot ticket.

sunnyleith,that is scenario 2,now would the afore mentioned bookie have said sorry I made a mistake here's £360 or would he have said always check your ticket.
