Have you complained? I don't see how they can stand by that decision. They (as all bookies do nowadays) only price up the market when the people up for eviction are known. I've done a shop bet on Dan myself with them.

So I'm not the only one red on Dan for next eviction. I did contact them via their online chat...

Ina Hi, my name is Ina. How may I help you?
You Hi Ina, I was waiting for clarification re Novelty: Big Brother, Next Eviction bets.
You I had not heard anything yet,
You The eviction is not taking place
You There is no public vote
You Will you cancel the bets?
Ina Hi, If you placed a bet on this market last week, your bet will stand accordingly, please note the market is "next eviction" it does not specify a time frame
You Even if a house mate is evicted, who was not quoted at the time I made my bets?
Ina Yes that is correct
You but I made my bets on a market with 4 runners.
You Are you saying this bet will be settled on a different market?
Ina This is not a different market, the market remains the same, it is "next eviction", we don't always offer prices on all available selections.
You You are the only bookmakers who have not voided this market
You Even Betfair exchange, who had Any Other as an option have voided this market
Ina I can not comment on any other bookmaker, I can confirm however that this bet will have to stand in accordance with our rules, I apologise for any inconvenience caused
You The event of market on which I bet has been cancelled
You You need to cancel my bets
Ina The event has not been cancelled, your bet was on "next eviction" there is no time frame on that market
You Unless the next eviction has the same 4 runners, it is a different event
Ina It is not a different event, again we can't also offer prices on all contestants. Just because more prices are available now does not mean the market has changed. The bet will have to stand I'm afraid
You Ok, I understand you have to make rules to protect yourselves...
You but you are using them to apply my bet to a field that I didn;t bet on
Ina I apologise that you feel this way, but the rule would work both ways, if the eviction did not take place and it was more likely to take place this week thus prices getting shorter, then you would argue that bet would have to stand
You It may be the case that my bets are for someone that will be in the field at lower odds. However, I am saying, cancel this before we know. So it is fair for us both.
Ina The bet can not be cancelled, I apologise
You Thank you Ina
You Bye for now.

Ladcrooks have cancelled, Spoils haven't

Yes exactly. They are doing the wrong thing. I am considering applying to IBAS for an adjudication but I doubt that will result in anything positive.

The thing is, if Dan is not voted safe, and is nominated. I will bet assuming that I am green on him. What if IBAS then decide the bet is to be cancelled?

bf used to list all the runners/hms didn't they and that is the problem. As they only listed the ones up. So in theory they have potentially misled their customers.

Is the old "if a bet can't win, it can't lose" a fact? I mostly only bet BB. I'm just a novice in these matters, but conmen sense says PP, and any bookie not voiding this market, are wrong.

Well, thanks all for the advise. I'd say that if a house mate you have a bet on, is not nominated for the next eviction, and any other was not an option when you bet, you were misled into making a bet that can not win. Logic says that your bet should be cancelled. Check with IBAS and see what they decide.

Paddies are usually good. I'm amazed they haven't voided given they didn't have an any other option.

I suppose they could say they'd give a customer a price on any other runner should they be asked, like with AP horse racing.

Stretching it a bit, I know.

Paddies usually are good, and had some affiliation with BB on Channel 4.
I will do that Jack, ty.

does look as if that is the case altho the rules need updating as they still cite C4


Big Brother rules

1. Should a contestant be evicted from the house, removed by Big Brother or leave of their own accord, they will be settled as a loser. Should that same contestant be re-admitted at a later date, they will be treated as a new contestant and previous bets will not stand.

2. Eviction markets apply only to official Channel Four evictions. Any contestant leaving the house of their own accord or removed by Big Brother will not be treated as the next evictee for betting purposes. Paddy Power reserves the right to void all bets placed on an eviction market should the initial line up for eviction be changed. Others may be added to the market at any time.

3. Paddy Power is not responsible for the way in which Channel Four conduct the show. Any late changes to methods of eviction, addition or subtraction of housemates or any other factors affecting the market are beyond our control.

4. Any disputes concerning any market will be referred to Channel Four for clarification; their decision will be treated as final.

5. Paddy Power reserves the right to suspend any market at any time.

6. For the purposes of our markets, we will define an eviction as the permanent expulsion from the house of contestant or contestants. Therefore, fake evictions will not be considered as winners. Therefore any bets placed on a stipulated eviction (e.g. first) will run until a person is seen to egress the house with no immediate prospect of return.

7. Paddy Power reserves the right to apply a dead heat reduction on any event where more winners are declared than were originally specified.

8. In the event of the series been cancelled before an official winner is declared, bets will be settled as a dead heat between the contestants that have not been eliminated. Outright bets on contestants already eliminated will be treated as losing selections.

2. Eviction markets apply only to official Channel Four evictions. Any contestant leaving the house of their own accord or removed by Big Brother will not be treated as the next evictee for betting purposes. Paddy Power reserves the right to void all bets placed on an eviction market should the initial line up for eviction be changed. Others may be added to the market at any time.

Surely the bolded type means they should void the market?

they can void the market if they want, but if they don't want to they can just add other contestants to the market.

Point 6 reads that they wouldn't void and bets on an eviction run until someone is evicted.

To me if you bet before the noms all is fare run or not, but once you bet after noms you are betting on particular line up where anyother should cover the possibility that another runner is added as a punishment by BB or otherwise.
With the hs books the original line up offered has been scraped and the third eviction will have a different line up, so the third eviction will be a different line up on a different date, imo the bets should be voided,  bf probably played it right since the market was put after false noms, ie noms not for eviction.

house preparing to nom !!

maybe don't say that until we can bet army?

I already had a bet on wolfy on here

Got bigger than evens too

luckily, wasn't my bigger stake level
