Placed a bet with spoilsprts yesterday evening before 8:00pm on under 54.5 points in the England V Italy rugby game thats on tommorrow.
Bet was placed via their website.
Bet confirmed and 110% got bet receipt with under 54.5 points at 5/6.(did'nt take a screen shot).
Checked oddschecker this morning and noticed they had changed their line to 45.5.
Then checked my account and they had changed my bet to under 45.5.(no email or phone call over the change).
Got on the phone to customer services to check what was going on.
The customer service rep checked and reckoned there was no amendments to my account and that I must of backed under 45.5 points.
I explained I was 110% sure I backed under 54.5.
She said she would check it with the traders and get back to me which she did and rang back a few hours later.
She was now saying that after to talking to the traders the line changed from 54.5 to 45.5 at 1:30pm yesterday afternoon
and they did'nt know how my bet went through at 54.5 as the bet should of been 45.5 and basically all they could offer me was the correct price of
under 45.5 it should of been or void the bet.
I took the void the bet option.
Now if you go onto oddschecker now at this moment it shows that at 8:00pmlast night the line was 54.5 and it did'nt change untill 01:38am this morning.
They have basically amended the bet without notifying me and then denied that they did.
I reckon a trader made a fook up and is trying to cover his ar.se.
I would be very weary of this shower ever again.

Lost count of the number of bets which online bookies have ammended. Odds shortened when they said they made mistakes which they did to be fair but i thought betting was all about taking advantages of perceived mistakes. Many other times i have bet on handicap lines which they said were wrong and the prices ammended to their own aribtrary valuation of what a fair price should have been at the handicap i bet at. In lots of instances with one bookie they never even ammended the odds in my betslip. They just paid me a lot less. I was never told what odds they had even given although it was just a matter of working it out.
I have went to Ibas three times in the past year. Won twice and lost once. Probably had good cases to take bookies to ibas several other times but it was not worth the hassle. My biggest gripe is that when a bookmaker makes a mistake the punter is locked into a new bet which they did not make and would not have taken had they known the odds the bet would be settled at. That cant be right. Ibas seem to agree with bookies that they can resettle bets at a fair price when they make a mistake. From a winning punters point of view there is no such thing as a fair price. I always want an unfair price. Otherwise how can you win. |

The term fair price in the truest sense of the word is non existant in bookmaking. A fair price for tossing a coin would be even money. But Ibas seem to agree that a fair price is one where the bookamkers should always have a built in edge. Every bet a bookmaker lays is on the premise its an unfair price for the punter otherwise how could they make a profit even if they did not have overheads. My point is Ibas will back up bookmakers when they make mistakes that results in the punter getting better than the true odds but bookmaking is based on the concept of giving out unfair prices.

I backed next man out in a cricket game 2 weeks ago which I lost with boils. Checked my account and they settled it wrong, happy days. Laddies has settled 3 winning bets as losers(all in running), which I got back after a lot of correspondence.

On two occasions recently I miswrote a bet -i.e.I intended an e/w bet and paid the money for it but forgot to write e/w on top. Both horses placed at prices below 5/1.
Beloysports returned nothing saying it all went on for a win...PP paid me as an e/w bet. Only a small indication but shows B....s up in a poor light imo. |

Change in my 'world's worst bookmaker' list . Boylsports: My worst bookmaker 08-03-13 Sorry no blog yesterday, the first I have missed since Jan 1st, but that was due to having to waste a lot of time with a bunch known as Boylsports. I have (now had) an account with them – I do with most firms – and placed a small bet for my wife with them yesterday morning. It was only £30 at 9-4 – other firms were showing 2-1 – and the bet went thought normally. Then they rang me up – three times in all – saying they had cancelled it although their reason for cancelling was incoherent and changed as the calls went on. I had placed a perfectly normal bet and their system even showed me the potential return and accepted the wager. The full story will be in my Mirror column tomorrow, but during a week that most big firms are going all-out to get new customers by offering loss-leaders by way of very generous odds – admittedly only to quite small amounts – it does seem strange that one is throwing away a customer for nothing. Anyway, Boylsports have now replaced Betfred at the top of my list of the world’s worst bookmakers. |

I'm aware that some bookmakers have the rule tha B/////s apply . I accept I trade under these rules.
I simply make a few related points ... a) While not a high use regular , I quite frequently bet in the office and they might have known that 95% + of my bets are e/w b) Why would anyone pay E40 for a E20 bet ? 3) Why did they not pick it up at the time(it was not busy).They take no responsibility at all for assessing the correctness of a bet - except if a price has changed to 4/1 from 9/2 while you are walking to the counter they seem to have no problem detecting that one. 40 DECALEC is right -the system 'all on to win' makes no sense. having been punting for many decades I have seen the inanity and deviousness of all facets of bookies' carry on. I firmly that anyone taking a case to court with a clever lawyer could expose much of the bias and unfairness in their practices. |
