He has now claimed that shutting down successful accounts is to save the ordinary punter and allow them to get their 20 on at a good price. :^0
What a joke! |
|
By:
you mean he is not telling the truth? :|
|
|
By:
doubt the 'experts' here will agree with him...
|
|
By:
Even got a ringer to phone in and try to defend them, quite obviously a shop employee :D
A poor show all round. |
|
By:
Imo, of course :)

paddy did fine in a one sided event, muppets ringing up accusing them of all sorts

Numerous callers in complaining about closed accounts.
And a guy in Dublin who claims he has been recognised in shops he has never visited before, he was enquiring about cctv etc to ask how he was recognised. Mr P gave the usual waffle about managing liabilities...before saying successful ac's were closed as these 'big hitters' were hoovering up the top prices with their big bets, before the little man in the shop could get on. So he was doing it for the mugs lol He was then asked how many account holders who lost on a consistent basis had their accounts closed.......To which he replied he did not have the figures to hand :^0 But imagined it was very few. |

I cant wait for the programme with Spoils and Billy Tills on it.Paddys are by far and away the fairest.

.......and you work for????????????
|
|
By:
so what was the controversy?
people not getting as much as they wanted on? do people ring up and complain when dunnes do special offers but say max 4 per customer actually they probably do with this show Did Joe sound shocked by the revelations? |
|
By:
Did Mary from Clontarf ring in?
|
|
By:
All Joe had to say was sure, sure, sure, sure etc.........
|
|
By:
some serious waffle from mr power :D
|
|
By:
God bless him, looking out for the little guy :D
|
|
By:
But sometimes the little guy doesn't know he's the little guy LOL.......
|
|
By:
Mary from clontarf changed her account to spoils last week
|
|
By:
i heard it...jesus he was mad to go in in the first place..to hear him waffling about the big oys hoovering up prices was funny..they refuse big bets in order to help the score merchant.thats a new angle!!

Paddy did fine.
After all it is a business, and if the gob s ites throw all their money into the liffey you can't blame Paddy for gobbling it all up. That's my opinion. |
|
By:
Paddy did fine if you are an experienced punter but non punters hearing stories of winning accounts closed and people losing their Christmas money would have been horrified.PP wont get any new customers from today but they might lose a few.
|
|
By:
Eddie, spot on.
They had a caller who rang in about 15 mins after the segment who said he had just called to close his account. |
|
By:
Obviously had been trying to get his account closed i.e; win money but couldn't find the winners so probably should've closed his account anyway, nothing to do with the show, he's obviously a mug and didn't know that flowers only entertain mugs in the first place.

It sounded like me paddy was saying if he was manager of Dunne Stores and he had Cornfakes on special offer if a customer came in and just brought them without also buying the milk.
He would be barred from the store. :0 I think you could also take from the show that if a guy has a account with them he must be a loser if they hadn't already closed it down. ............................................................................... But sure we all knew that its the losers bookmakers as the only offer I ever hear them offer is your OWN money back when you back a particular loser :( What price did they paid out on King Bastion 12/1 what was Betfair S/P 210/1? Ah yeah but didn't they guarnteed the 12/1 . :^0 LETS ALL JUST BE GRATEFULL PADDYS ISN'T MANAGER OF OUR LOCAL DUNNE STORES....Cheers |

Just to echo some of that.
This is meant to be their master PR guy. Ppl who bet occasionally even regularly are absolutly shocked with the notion of closed accounts, they dont even believe it could happen and they believe it has to be illegal in some way. Now that ppl know it actually happens and Paddy Power, and many listening wud fully believe this is the guy who started runs the whole place, fully condones it will be disgusted. Worst PR ever!! |
|
By:
Taxi driver on the way home from town .... usual small talk going to leop 2moro etc .... he then said to me "did you hear that guy on liveline today from piddy p0wer". I said no ..... He said that pp closed all accounts of winning punters. Now I didn't hear the show, but that's the talk going around with your occasional punters.
|
|
By:
I didnt listen to the show but why did Paddy go on the show on the first place?
Was he replying to a disgruntled punter who rang Joe complaining or did he think he would get some handy publicity? For a firm who normally are very astute when it comes to PR this seems like a massive own goal. Expect a load of offers in shops and online now as a face saving exercise. |
|
By:
He was on the show to respond to a guy who was 15k ahead, and had his accounts closed.
Cue calls from family members of other degenerates who had lost more than that, and were let bet away to their heart's content. |

Have to say though, only halfway through listening but I would have loved to ring in to defend Paddy a little. Seriously, no messing. Some of them on here (regardless of results) ought to get over it and move on FFS. Funny though :D
BTW youre man that won 15k, did Bless not tell him Betfair have better odds no? Head in hands man.. |
