Iseeitall (OP) User ID: 15050012 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 11:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm pretty sure that by using the service, you have agreed to the terms and conditions laid out on the website so you probably won't have much luck but I wish you well. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9102908 as one of the leading UK bookie firms I really expect them to honour the bet that they offered the odds on and accepted. if the boot was on the other foot and I placed a bet of 100 rather than 10 adding an extra 0 by mistake would they refund me the 90 of a losing bet? NO,,,,I want my winnings from this market leader! their fault not mine. if they fail to pay me then they shouldn't be allowed to operate as a business.... I will contact the MSM and see if they want the story! along with some legal advise |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 14841669 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 01:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Legitimately 100/1 odds or unreasonable? If there's a catalogue price type error I don't think you're going to get far. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14731331 the team I backed was 100/1 in the live play market, cant believe they are not paying me the price on the receipt! why don't you just TELL us? it's not as if we'll change the result, or anything. just tell us what the game was, what the bet was, and what the odds you were offered was |

The forums there are huge so I'd post in "general" and ask them to move it to the appropriate section [link to www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk] Good luck OP |

Iseeitall (OP) User ID: 15050012 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you have undeniable evidence sue them. But first read the terms and conditions that you automatically accept prior to betting. Maybe they are refusing your bet depending on some kind of trick in those terms. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15221644 They are calling it some error on their part and are paying the 1/8 they claim it should have been. However I have the receipt that states 100/1 on it on my online account, I have contacted a major news paper and a number of forums and advisory/action groups. in my eyes they have stole my winning money,,,similar story with betfair not only a few months back!!! interesting they didnt pay out 23mil and they lost more than that value on their share price! = [link to www.channel4.com] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 582881 Germany 04/28/2012 05:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bookies don't have in the Terms/AUP that your 'online currency' is actually a zero-value non-tangible and has NO cash value until withdrawn -- meaning they can take it all from you if they want. Keep pushing. |

Iseeitall (OP) User ID: 15050012 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 05:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wont give up,,,I contacted ine big news paper already and they are to ring me back, the fact I have the proof of the odds and stake on my account will hopefully be in my favour. I won £3785 off my stake but they pay me 1/8,,I feel a victim of theft !!! |
Iseeitall (OP) User ID: 15050012 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the fact that another betting service lost more than 23mil in value off share price when they refused to pay up should really remind bookies that they are not invisible,,,its a dangle carrot situation that they change the rules to suit themselves,,, link to other bookie error = [link to www.channel4.com] |

But first read the terms and conditions that you automatically accept prior to betting. Maybe they are refusing your bet depending on some kind of trick in those terms. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15221644 Of course there's a trick. They post outrageous odds, on a game that's considered to be a lock, and then people like the OP make a small wager, thinking what the fuck. It's called a sucker bet where I come from. If by some miracle the underdog wins the bookie just says the posted odds were a mistake and refuses to pay. Happens all the time. That's why they they call it a sucker bet. |
Iseeitall (OP) User ID: 15050012 United Kingdom 04/28/2012 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | << OP's bookmaker Quoting: Lord british No football odds even at half time are 100/1 They should offer you a good will gesture though OP. The fact that I have the bet receipt (Contract according to UK gaming law set in 2005) I have the upper hand surly, how can this huge company get away with improper practise like this. if I made a mistake and put an additional 0 on a bet would they refund me the loss back? NOPE! bad play on their part....I'm now out of pocket as I accounted for this winning bet only to let down by this improper conduct. |
