That sounds like there was only 4 places - Gallagher, Hatton, Lowry & Manassero tied 4th would be 1/4 of your stake? wasnt in running was it? If not 3/4 stake is spot on.

Nope it was not in running. Paid out by manager with an apology and a €25 free bet. Needless to say I am still thinking about lodging a complaint. If i had taken the 50 and walked out there would have been no recourse for me.

I put €5 bet on yesterday Armagh Monaghan Kerry Mayo all to win went in to collect winnings in Ladbrokes

won't pay out the 25 return because kildare Monaghan went to extra time. It's BS the way they twist the odds to suit themselves

They'll adjust that for him in time or close his account .. the baxstards

Skybet don't let me do accumulators on wwe .

Boooo.

Pp do.

I'd have gone for reigns, wyatt, lesnar and probably chanced another one or two to boost the odds.

Chancer3001

And of course they won.

Stupid skybet

If he went in, it was in shop so they won't be doing anything.

What's going on Boylesports?

Got an email with the title off them
"Double odds all week at York"

and the actual offer in the email is
Money Back if your horse finishes 2nd in any Channel 4 race at York
for Mobile only".

Can someone tell me where Double Odds comes from?

Looking for a bit of advice here please, did a treble last Sunday, Donegal minors @ 5/2,Donegal seniors +6 @ evens and Michael Murphy first scorer @ 9/1.
A tenner treble would give €700. However PP are saying the last two are related and will only pay out 2 x €5 doubles yielding €210 - a loss off €490.
My question is are they related? Thanks

mrmorgan

I'm afraid it is related. Michael Murphy scoring 1st would have an affect on the price of the other leg

Just want to b*tch about betfair for a second.

I signed in for the first time in ages today only to find out that my account had been closed. I was a pretty good customer. I think I've bet a good bit with them (exchanges) over the last 5+ years, making them a fair bit in commission.

The reason for the closure?

Apparently I had a negative balance of 1 cent. Obviously a system/rounding error on their part.

So there ya go...

They are related. However, if you actually placed the bet, they should give you a new price for the treble, not split it up into two doubles.

+1.
The payout is wrong.
Bet should be Minors, Murphy 1st g/s at 9's and Donegal +9 at (XXX).
XXX should be the odds of Seniors +3 points after Murphy scoring the 1st goal so in effect it would Donegal +9, assume it would around a 1/4 shot from evens?.

paulo6891

Definitely follow it up, you will win. Probably a rookie mistake by someone in the shop or someone in HQ. You should have been awarded twice what you got.

Betfair me -- hole

Had a bet posted for a try scorer @ 35/1 . Took it and it came in , they settled for different odds evens, spouting they were the odds on odds checker , the exact place that I saw the bet ?? . If they had contacted me and said there was a price change and did I want to accept it I would have said no , but they didn't . What's the normal line here ? and whats the story with bookies changing odds after taking a bet ?? They could do this all the time if they wanted , whats the point of oddschecker and different bookies if they will not honour their prices ?

paulo6891

Did it ever actually say 35/1 on the betfair site? Oddschecker often has the wrong prices on their website. 35/1 -> evens would suggest a problem with the oddschecker website!

yes it did and it said 35/1 on the bet slip from Betfair .

Peintre Celebre

Was it betfair sportsbook or exchange? And what price was he elsewhere? Sounds like a blatantly incorrect price. If so they were in the right to change it as their t and c's

sportsbook was alot less elsewhere

Peintre Celebre

Price was clearly incorrect, every single bookie would have changed it and settled it at the correct odds. You would have a point if it was a 10/1 shot being changed to 8/1 or something because that's not an obvious error, but 35/1 on an evens shot is clearly wrong

Your account is probably destroyed now though

Chancer3001

Had a winner at 12/1.

Wrote 12/1 on the docket too.

When I went to collect the winnings they said, oh you only got 10/1. The price must have changed between you writing it down and the 5 second walk to the counter.

That's nonsense surely. Ladbrookes
