I shouldn't be suprised by my terrible luck, but it never ceases to amaze me how a side suddenly goes from world beaters to terrible as soon as I put money on them.

Gary Neville to be Burnley Manager 37/1 betfair

fancy O'Shea in the darts against chisnall tomorrow @ evens

Stolen from the sin bin.

Thoughts?

same principal as the first goalscorer and correct score double, clearly not a straight accumulator, i think the odds should be higher than straight singles and he has been under offered

however if their terms and conditions state they dont have to pay out on mistakes the punter has nowhere to go

I work in a bookies and i do feel for the guy as i am a gambler aswell and can see his fustration as the bet was taken and no comment made by the cashier at the time. If i feel a bet could be refused i will always check with the bookies. I tried for last season to have leeds win the league, hull kr in the playoffs and celtic to finnish bottom, they were all at evens just about so would pay quite nice. but they would not accept the bet as it was conflicting, so it is kind of the same i guess as because it snowed in one town it is more likley that is snowed in another town so the odds should be reduced. (if that makes sence)
There is no way he will get paid out though, i guess as he has complained he will get bet vouchers and the like.

I wonder how he actually put the bet on.....crash in with 5 or so others getting on at Portman Park or the like and no wonder the cashier did not pick up on it....if he asked if it was an acceptable bet etc then I would have a bit more sympathy though I think he knew exactly what he was doing and knew he had little chance of success.

I make you right. Chisnall is a star of the future but in truth Hankey should have blown him away when he had the chance. The old stager O'Shea has done little wrong so far but is about the same odds now as he was at the start of the tournament and I think bookies have totally over reacted to Chisnall and he should not be favourite for this.

O'Shea's had some very easy matches thus far - not been in a real battle in truth, fancy Chisnall to beat him tonight, impressed me with his grit and determination in the QF and was unlucky with a few bounce-outs too.

Either way I think the winner will come from that Semi - Wolfie's had the easiest of the draw thus far and Phillip's isn't amazing.

LadCROOKS suck!!! Last season had a 1st & last try bet on willie talau on my phone acc & it turned out he was injured ( no biggie i get a refund i thought!!) waited like 4 days & still no deposit back in my acc!! So i rings em up see whats happened to my money,turns out i was not due anything back so i argued he never even laced his boots up ffs! Demanded to speak to his gaffa & it he says only in ru are you entitled to a refund if they dont play!! Needless to say i have not & will not ever bet with then again!

I just think Wolfie handles the pressure the best and O'Shea has been found wanting before on the big stage and Chisnall has never gone through such a big occasion as a World Final so easy draw on not I think he is in the box seat.

Fancy O'Shea myself.

Cardiff to beat blackpool 4/5

Bet not valid. Palpable error rule applies. Sadly, end of!

Thats is shocking course you should get your money back in any event there is a non runner. I myself have had similar issues with certain companies

From the Ladbroke site ...

[iFirst try scorer betting
Penalty tries do not count. In rugby league, where an 'interchange' system is used, bets are accepted 'all in play or not'. In rugby union, bets will be void if a player has not entered the field of play when the first try is scored.[/i

Seems a strange rule IMHO.

Even allowing for that, in the example above Talau wasn't on the interchange bench so to me should not be included and a void bet should occur.

Its a terrible rule that I once lost 50p over.

Someone backed a certain team at 4-0...

For £44 profit

Ouch

I know most times than not this kind of buying money comes off and you earn a very small amount with minimal risk. I like that sometimes it doesnt come off as i actaully dont think the person actually sees it a bet and just buying money off someone

Birmingham/Cov double around 4/1



Silly acca of Birmingham/Coventry/As Roma/Bordeaux/Aberdeen/Besiktas 33/1

Fleetwood should beat Dover in the FA trophy tonight so are worth putting in any accas at just a shade of odds on (and their covers should ensure the game is on).

Supreme Pace for the Betfair Prestige which has its semi's tonight at Hall Green. 25/1 is good value.

We should beat them comfortably, Ive heard Dover are sending pretty much a reserve team due to work commitments etc

Fake.
