3 posts in 14 years not bad

100 treble should but wont be paid

aye and if 2 winners a £25 double

Yes, They are trying to pay 3 x doubles and a Acc... Is this correct?

well it is what you meant

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

To be pedantic 3 doubles and a treble, not enough selections for an accumalator

If I'd written a bet out incorrectly I would be too embarrassed to tell everyone on here.

As has been demonstrated, bookies settle by what you write not what you mean.

I think you have a strong case for £100 treble.

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

if you wrote 2 selections and wrote accumulator you'd still get paid..accumulator is money from one onto the next..

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?

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.

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.

there are 3 trebles in 3 selections?

a treble starting with horse a a treble starting with horse b and a treble starting with horse c

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.

Why not write £25 Trixie in future?

because this never happened its just one of those questions that prompts debate

aye of course he does, no point writing a £100 treble then

btw I think this is a thinly disguised aftertiming fred

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

I don't think Mart's got any dormant accounts or we'd have seen this one some time ago.

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.

4 posts in 14 years..................might have to wait awhile for a reply.

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.

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.

think it pony hasn'nt named the horses

winner123456

What was your bet intention?

All 3 win...4-1,9-4,eve

It cant be done

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?

or a 50p ew yank

In both his posts on this subject the OP refers to his 3 horse bet as an "acca"
Has he never heard of a treble?

obviously heard of a treb cos he wanted 3 of em

It's a trixie, the bookie offered to pay the trixie, should snatch his hand off imo

and give him a drink

It may be obvious to you REDROB...........................

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?

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.

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"

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!

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.

Agreed. ^

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...

How on earth can 3 trebles on 3 selections be valid ?

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.

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.

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.
