Pay the man ffs

Would a "professional" gambler put £3k on a snooker bet at one betting shop, where there has been a bit of previous, in cash and would they get it on?

Depends what price is what on here.

But having to wait weeks and week for 9k is just ridic. As the op says just pay the man ffs.

If they foresaw a problem why didnt they ask for id/ proof of income BEFORE he placed the bet.

Agree with MJK...that bet really should have been paid on cue.

Luke Paton's (golf pro gambler) latest blogpiece also deals with a similar issue he's having; the matter is becoming crazy, unwilling to accept that someone may win a bet.

Whoever said that Luke would have to make a FOI request was wrong -it doesn't apply to private organisations https://www.gov.uk/make-a-freedom-of-information-request/organisations-you-c...

I haven't read it (regarding FOI requests) - but they would have to comply with a DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) - and it would put the shoe on the other foot, i.e. You are now requesting detailed information from them - and it would greatly inconvenience them because they are simply not geared up (don't have the systems) to comply with such requests, yet they are legally bound to do so within a fairly tight time-line.

A detailed DSAR from a knowledgable, persistent and challenging individual - is a complete nightmare!
