100 treble should but wont be paid
|
|
By:
aye and if 2 winners a £25 double
|
|
By:
Yes, They are trying to pay 3 x doubles and a Acc... Is this correct?
|
|
By:
well it is what you meant

By:
Mart would have been paid out on a Super Heinz if it was his bet.

By:
To be pedantic 3 doubles and a treble, not enough selections for an accumalator
|
|
By:
If I'd written a bet out incorrectly I would be too embarrassed to tell everyone on here.

By:
As has been demonstrated, bookies settle by what you write not what you mean.
I think you have a strong case for £100 treble. |
|
By:
Because the instructions written are nonsensical, it could be settled as 3 singles with stakes equally divided. Because if you say you meant 3 doubles and a treble , they could say , if only one had won you might be claiming you meant 3 singles and a treble.
But any responsible person would know you meant a pony trixie. |

Accept the offer !

aye equine flew and im sure you would be first on to say he should be paid a double had he only 2 winners. what else could it be?
he knows what he meant, the books know what he meant, i'm sure you even know what he meant. nothing to see imho |
|
By:
if you wrote 2 selections and wrote accumulator you'd still get paid..accumulator is money from one onto the next..
|
|
By:
I think that if there is no specific rule it should be total stake equally divided between selections. It is what used to be known as a catchpenny.

Why not write £25 Trixie in future?
|
|
By:
The dealer, of course I know what he meant and so would the bookie, but that has nothing to do with it.
You settle on what is written not what is meant. There are many examples of bookmakers working in this way, when it suits them. |

By:
REDROB, it is not non-sensical. If he had written 3 trebles with only two selections, or 3 trebles with 4 sections, that would be wrong. His instructions are valid for 3 horses.
|
|
By:
there are 3 trebles in 3 selections?
|
|
By:
a treble starting with horse a a treble starting with horse b and a treble starting with horse c
|
|
By:
There is a treble and he wants that 3 times, but that argument is an aside.
You settle on what is written if it is a valid instruction. |
|
By:
Why not write £25 Trixie in future?
because this never happened its just one of those questions that prompts debate |
|
By:
aye of course he does, no point writing a £100 treble then
|
|
By:
btw I think this is a thinly disguised aftertiming fred
|
|
By:
You misunderstand, I am not saying that is what he meant. But that is what he has written !!

Which bookies is it out of curiosity?
I can't see a sleeper raising his head, Warhan if it weren't true. |

might be one of bigmart's dormant accounts |
|
By:
I don't think Mart's got any dormant accounts or we'd have seen this one some time ago.
|

By:
We've got this far and no 'you must be a real mug' for:
a) placing an accumulator at all b) the fact you can get £100 on at all. Well done fellers. |

heres what to do,go into another shop owned by the same bookies and keep putting the same bet on for 10ps until you get one
up with two winners and hope that when you go to collect it they tell you its a loser because you only have a double.i would say they would have to pay you in full on your bet if they do. |
|
By:
i never used to put round robins on , only because i couldnt work out the returns if any, although that aside the op is definetly
fishing imo.  |

I assume you paid 100 pounds for the bet, and that is confirmed on your copy? If so, you should be entitled to the full amount of a 25 pound trixie at odds odds stated (unless rule 4 is involved) ie 1631.25 The return for a 100 pound treble is 3250 pounds. After 30 years experience of bet settlement, this is hardly ambiguous as a trixie was always intended and the wager should be settled as 1631.25 return. |
