That's disgusting, you could win £250k with major bookies on one day 40 years ago!

those were the good days steward

By:
not many people know the £1,000 rule.
|
|
By:
one extreme example which could apply to someone is if anyone went in and had a grand on and took there best odds guaranteed price 0f 10.1 and it won at sp 33.1 in paddy power shops you would only get 12grand back 10grand your winning 1grand your stake back and there 1grand capping rule obviously punters say you would get 34grand back not in the rip off merchants paddy poor.
|

By:
OP is unclear. What is capped to £1,000 and how does it relate to your being paid more than 10 times that?
|
|
By:
I understand it to be that they work out how much you would have been paid without the BOG.
Max win is then £1000 on top of that amount. |
|
By:
ram this is there capping rule
paddy power concessions the maximum payment to any one client in respect of any paddy power concession i.e best odds guaranteed prices in shops is £1.000per day . |
|
By:
What would your returns have been if you'd not taken advantage of their "concession" and placed the bet at SP?
|
|
By:
j m l you got it mate my bet came to £9.087 without b o g plus 1.000 if the best odds were applied has in other shops I would have had £16.500 I had taken 7.2 about an 8.1 winner sp which I did nt get another example they ruled 4 me on a 7/2 winner that finished 4.1 sp
|
|
By:
I have heard about this rule before. It's an absolute piss take.
As JML says, what would your return have been to SP, and not to the prices you took? |
|
By:
This is how I would argue the case.
Without the BOG offer you would have placed the bet at SP. So your maximum winnings should be the SP returns +1000. How can you take a concession and end up with thousands less? |
|
By:
about 14grand at sp
|
|
By:
Proper pisstake that, almost enough to make a man turn to betting singles on an exchange.
|

By:
the maximum payment to any one client in respect of any paddy power concession i.e best odds guaranteed prices in shops is £1.000per day .
That rule can apply to my interpretation just as much as any other. |
|
By:
but they keep banging the drum everyday about there best odds guaranteed and they are not
|
|
By:
the bookmakers are rancid...not fit for purpose and yet repeatedly get away with creating artificial rules to limit payouts which most are unaware of
|
|
By:
JML's post at 2.44pm is the way to go imo.
|
|
By:
I wouldn't take a penny less than £14K +£1K and would take them to the small claims court
if they refused. |
|
By:
j m l and others this bet has already got to I b a s on the grounds that this is false advertising ie best odds guaranteed I will post the results when they return but I do think I have very little chance of getting anywhere but I have gave it a go
|
|
By:
jml I may well give that ago in the small claims court thankyou for your suggestion
|
|
By:
razzamataz--I think a better idea is to get in contact with Paul Fairhead at betdisputeadvice@gmail.com He's the real expert.
Just explain to him that you think you should be paid the SP amount + £1000 because the PP rule is not clear. |
|
By:
will do j m l thankyou for your advice.

By:
split your stake by 20 and put one line on for yourself, one for your brother, one for your pet canary ....

Piddly power makes it up as they go along. Worst of all high street bookies. Dont even do double odds 1 winner anymore on L15's.
