What was your bet intention? |

By:
All 3 win...4-1,9-4,eve
It cant be done |

By:
Try writing down 4 selections. With a stake of £11 (no instructions) - however the implication is a £1 yank.
If they win, I can guarantee you will NOT be paid on what you intended. You will have 4 x £2.75 singles. As I have stated, you will be paid on the instruction and not the intention. |

Or an £11 acca?

Whether you write two, three or four selections on a slip, if the word 'acca' is there then it means 'all the selections as one bet'.
If the OP had only had two winners, would he have been paid out as the intended £25 double, or would they have said it's being settled as a £100 treble? |
|
By:
At the end of the day it is the responsibilty of the bet placer to write precise instructions. Despite what equine implies, these instructions were ambiguous and not valid instructions. Common sense says it is a trixie, which is what the bookie is right to offer. End of.

By:
Kenbo, how long has this been the case regarding the word "acca"?
I have not used bookmakers for the past 15 years but before that an "acca" would be 4 horses upwards only. Single, Double and Treble were the words used for 1,2 and 3 horses and never "acca" |

By:
Your example is still the case, Sparrow. But placing a straight accumulator on a plain slip, wouldn't see you not getting paid if there were only two or three selections (I'm presuming).
If you used a quick slip for a football bet with three selections, but ticked the 'acca' box, I don't think it registers as there aren't enough selections! |
|
By:
Sparrow, go into any bookies, write down two horse and write £10 acca.
100% of the time you this will be settled as a double. No question. REDROB, I respect yours and other people have opinions, but this is not a black and white case, hence the discussion. Just cos you write "End of", it doesn't make it so. |

I accept what you're saying equine but such carelessness when dealing with money is just asking for trouble.
No wonder so many people get ripped off in their daily dealings of life. |
|
By:
Agreed. ^

By:
Indeed sparrow, I agree. But the mistake has been made now and I guess the discussion is "what happens now".
Morally and ethically, you would say it should be settled as a trixie. However, that would override the actual written instructions (that despite being clumsy) could be argued as still actually valid. |

TIM FARRON logic needed here... A double was not on the ballot......sorry,..betting slip...
|

By:
How on earth can 3 trebles on 3 selections be valid ?
|
|
By:
He's being paid fairly. But there is a case for a £100 treble possibly being paid, if you go by bookies T&C's.
|
|
By:
If he's being paid for 3 doubles and a treble then he should be pleased to accept it.

The OP seems to have vanished.

4 posts in 14 years saxon. Will probably return in 10 years with another stupid offering.

£1631.25 absolutely no question. Take your complaint to IBAS. U r nailed om to get paid in full.

In the absence of a rule to the contrary, you should get what you asked for.
You have asked for an incorrect number of £25 trebles, there is only one treble on your slip. Therefore, one £25 treble should be paid in full, with the remaining £50 void. The £25 acca should be applied to all selections on the slip, so is another winning line. In effect, a £50 treble should be paid, with £50 void. Returns £1675.00. |
|
By:
If that were the case then they'd just class it as an overstake, and put him £50 on each treble.
If I wrote three horses on a slip and wrote £10 win singles down, yet put £60 in the total box, they wouldn't return £30 to me, they'd give me three £20 singles and tell me I'd overstaked my bet. |

Maybe rules have changed. That's how I would have settled it, back in the day.
