Free Money!!!

[Kaney]

VC are still offering England to Qualify from group B at 1/8, thats £10 for every £80 staked, surely this is a no-loss situation and therefore is "free money"?

err surely an eror which wont get paid out

 

[Kaney]

they would be legally obliged to pay out if they offer that price for an event! as long as you have a valid confirmation of your bet it would stand up in any court!

sporting odds are offering paraquay at 2/5 not to qualify as well

 

[Marshy]

nope i dont think so....try if you like but you wont get paid im sure of it

 

[Kaney]

the worst thing that can happen is they pay your money back

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

a betting slip isn't a legally binding contract so they're under no legal obligation to pay you anyway


apparently

 

[O Lads]

Somebody try it, if it doesn't work, you'll get your money back anyway!

 

[Kaney]

just tried to lump 8p on it, and it has told me that the market is currently suspended

wankers, i now go 5 days without 8p in my bank account!

I'm sure they leave these on as suspended to dupe as many people as they can to open new accounts with them to try and bet on it.

Bookies have no legal obligation to pay out any bet they take as it is not a legal and binding contract. If you have £ 100 000 on Brazil to win the cup at 5/2 and they do and you go to collect your £ 350 000 , they could tell you to feck right off and there is nothing you could do about it.

Cool!!!
Anyone wanna bet that an international football team wins the World Cup. I'm offering odds of 1000-1, but can only accept bets from £10k. Bank transfers only for an offer this good.

Not for much longer though. Once the Gambling Act 2005 comes into force next year, gambling debts will be enforcable by the courts.
