Why are you so quick to believe him? A rando shows up 2 days later and the only thing he says is that he's up 57k.

If it was you 11k (no reason not to believe you personally), could you add your thinking on cashing out for both bets - and not letting the L31 ride at least?

By:
Whoever it was I doubt very much that they would have been able to cash out just the 50k on the acca alone and let the lucky 31 ride as every single person would do that I would have thought....the whole part of the offer is to play on the bettors concerns...offering the acca alone wouldn't do that at all.

By:
Surely they are two separate bets - if you want to cash out one, you do it?
|

By:
if it is as reported a cash out with 1 leg remaining and if it is 11kv he should change his moniker to 11iq.
|

By:
Lucky 31 had over £15K guaranteed with the same amount going on to the last leg.
He sold that £15K bet on the 5th leg for £6.5K. (about 40%) He got about 72.5% on the acc. In reality once you go below 80% you're in rip off territory. |

I wonder if the 'winner' is aware of how many people on here are saying it was a bad offer.
They remind of the contestants on Deal Or No Deal who were full of similar bravado ....when it was somebody else playing ...... |

By:
I have never watched Deal or No Deal but its all down to the personal financial situation of the winner as to what he or she does.

have to be mentally defective to view that tripe.
whatever the geezers circs, it was a bad deal. even if i was living in a tree i wouldnt take it. im not, its a skip but id at least try to find an alternative, either laying the last one or dutching the rest, using friends and family if need be but that might not have been possible, before letting notfair get out of it so cheap. and i dont think advertising he cashed out is any good as all people focus on is what a shocker it was, if as reported. they will now be aware of it, if they were not already and it was a lucky and a bad bet to start with |

If the figures and prices being quoted are correct then it was a poor cash out offer. Accepting £21k for a bet that was already guaranteed £15k is ridiculous. If he did in fact get around 5/1 for the last horse then he would’ve had seven times more money to come (around £105k, possibly a bonus too?) if it won. It was a no-brainer to let the bet run. Little to lose and so much to gain. Betfair would’ve been slapping themselves on the back as soon as the offer was taken. They were the big winners on the day.
I can totally understand them taking the cash out offer for the accumulator. £30k is far too much for most people to risk on a horse race. |

Even winning 15k from a 60 quid bet is a bit of a storming day on the markets - most of us on here would dine out on that for many a year.
And that was the worst case scenario. I've played lucky's (15/31 etc) in the past - would never have dreamed of cashing out, given such a guarantee already banked. |

Whatever 58K in back pocket you be **** it out

Thanks George - much appreciated.
I do actually remember seeing this - I smelled a rat straight away that it just didn't add up...just as a few others did. JML's question below deserves a response  JML - The payout was £21,756 from the Lucky 31 and £36,212 from the accumulator. How can the payout from the lucky 15 be less than what was already guaranteed to win? It's disgusting what these fcukers get away with...that's as good as fraudulent! |
