The all-new betting thread!

The general consensus on a betting-related forum is overwhelmingly in my favour. 99% of people saying tough luck on their part and what helps is I already have the funds. Many instances of people being paid incorrectly (one was 3600 instead of 360 and he was allowed to keep it) but nothing ever coming of it. If I had £20k off them it'd be a different story. I'm sure they make a grand a second anyway so it's more than likely no skin off their nose. I'll go to the papers if they try it on, they'll run away then :D
 
So look at their T's and C's yourself? if it says anywhere that once a bet is paid out then that's it then refer them back to your T's and C's yourself!

just had a look, this section:

12. Account Correction

12.1. Where, in respect of any Product or an event within a Product, we make an error (whether human or otherwise), we will be entitled to declare the transaction void and withhold any payments. If we wrongly pay an amount to you or we pay you more than the amount to which you are properly entitled you agree to repay to us immediately upon request from us the amount which has been wrongly paid or overpaid to you. We have the authority to adjust your account to reflect the true outcome and rectify the error. An example of such an error might be where a price is incorrect, a bet is late, a failure occurs in one of our systems or where we enter a result of an event incorrectly.

seems to imply they can make the correction and charge/debit your account.

Also:

14. Errors

14.1. We make every effort to ensure that we do not make errors in accepting bets. However, if as a result of human error or system problems a bet is accepted at a price (which includes the odds, handicap provisions and other terms or details of the bet) that is either:
a.materially different from those available in the general market at the time the bet was made; or
b.clearly incorrect given the chance of the event occurring at the time the bet was made,

then we will pay winnings at the correct price.

14.2. To establish the correct price we will consider prices available in the general market at the time the bet was made, including the prices offered by William Hill and Coral. Examples of circumstances where this would apply are:
a.the price is recorded as 100-1 when the price on offer in the general market is 10-1; or
b.the margins for handicap betting have been reversed.

14.3. If a bet is accepted in error by us on an event or outcome for which no Ladbrokes prices are available the bet will be void and your stake returned.


kind of implies that if they make a balls up they're saying they're not liable at all and, basically, tough **** we want our monies.

It's a bit more complex as I took the money out in cash. Had I withdrawn online they'd have stopped it and taken it back no doubt. Their T's and C's aren't clear at all on this method of withdrawal, very much a grey area which again will work in my favour.
 
Right, My bets for tonight :


£5 free bet on AC milan to win = £28 back.
50p on Barcelona to win 2-1 = £5 Back
50p on Barcelona to win 1-0 = £5 Back
£1 on Ac Milan to win 1-0 = £29 Back
£2 on Ac Milan to win 2-0 = £102 Back
£1 on a 1-1 Draw = £12 back

I only bet £5 a week + the Free £5 i get given. Hopefully Barcelona play crap :P

England, France and Ireland draws tonight (doubles and treble)

Also Belguim to score 2 goals or more doubled with Ecuador win later tonight.
 
Unlucky. I was a bit gutted as i had the thought that england would get an early goal and then throw it away. So had my phone ready to chuck a couple hundred on England with the intention to cash out after they scored.

The wife called me to help with something and when i came back it was 1-0 :(
 
Nothing like a lucky bet! In my regular style of taking a punt on games in the last couple minutes in the hope of making some easy cash. There was a game at 0-0 with 89 minutes played on betfair for around 1.18. Figured I’d stick £180 on it to try and win £36.

Didn’t pay much attention when I was doing it and accidently ended up laying the bet for £36 to win £180. Betfair didn’t give me the option to cash out so I figured I’d just thrown away my money. 91 minutes ticked over and the home team scored to make it 1-0 and win the game :D
