    Check your old bets. Might be something you forgot about it. Happened to me the year Armagh won the All Ireland. Had a tenner on McConville to score first goal and logged on to withdraw my €55 to find €580 in there. Had forgotten I'd backed Armagh at start of summer, think it was €25 @ 20/1. Lovely surprise

    I'd be aware of your bookies, seems they getting lost in their database (lost & found records etc...). Next time money can go out of your account the same way.

    but I agree here that there's a god :) A week ago I was down by over 200euros at 6pm and had over a hundred profits 5minutes later. God love them horses and paddypower givin you SP price if the price you got was smaller.

    That's really odd. Any idea who could have used it? They might be looking for their winnings :p Although in fairness, they have some cheek placing a bet without asking so they can go and ****e.

    This is very strange if you ask me. I wouldn't take it so lightly. Sure you won but... WTF...

    Would you be happy having a large amount in your account with this strange anomoly where someone accessed your account without you knowing? I wouldn't.

    Alternative reason. You were drunk and don't remember...

    I'd probably query it with the bookies
    a - so they don't come back looking for the money in a few weeks
    b - who the hell has access to my account?
    c - you might find yourself down 200 quid the next time

    So how do you think the bet was put on in the first place? The gambling fairies?
