I was at Upton Park yesterday and decided to have a bet at the Sbobet Betting Office on the concourse. Luckily I won (which was the only highlight on a very disappointing day) and went to collect my winnings after the match only to find it shut. I spoke to the stewards who said you can only get your winnings on line or by post and that there were big signs everywhere confirming this (they were tsking the **** of course at there were none!) ok this info is on the back of your betting slip but, you have already bought the bet by then so no wonder this is now advertised anywhere as n0body would bet with them. Have tried to collect on line and had to set up an online account which I did not want to do and am now being told I will have to wait another 1-2 working days before I will know the outcome of my claim! Anyone else get CONNED yesterday?

I don't understand how this is a con, crap service but con no, it will become a con if you don't get paid or am i missing something?

Bit annoying that it wasn't clearer\you didn't read it properly but no evidence of a con as far as I can see.

Sounds like a canny (albeit a little cheeky) piece of promotional marketing to me.
But a con? Not really.

Seeing as we lost 6 0 I'd be interested to know what bet you made , can only imagine you had vaz te for first goalscorer personally I could never watch a Brighton game wanting the other team to score first just to win a tenner

Really? I always bet against Brighton when we are playing the big teams away. Certain banker! Win/win whatever the outcome.

Sorry but I just don't get it wanting the other team to score a goal to win a few quid and a possible deafeat to win a few quid when you've travelled away to watch the Albion hopefully get a win

I don't WANT the other team to win or score, it's just fall back to compensate a Albion loss.

Actually, I would NEVER bet against my beloved BHA! The bet was for £10 for EITHER team to score in the first 10 mins and so I won £40. Ok, maybe it was a big strong of me to say it was a CON but that was how it felt to me, odds on the outcome will not be my getting paid out at all, more likely for this dodgy online Asian company to pay me out only on the understanding I use the £40 on additional bets through Sbobet. That will deffo result in my passing it on to Trading Standards, no wonder I never normally bet, never will again .........
in all fairness there was a banner beneath the betting kiosk saying claim winnings online at http://www.sbobet,com/claim.
Thats when I decided not to bother betting. I do wish we had the betting kiosks at the Amex though

I do this as well, as you say it's win-win. Didn't do it yesterday though, the last time was Liverpool.

Ya can slate sbobet but before the Dildo Daves saved west ham, they actually brought west ham a player can't say I know many sponsor that will not only pay to have there names on a shirt, but then dip into there pocket to buy a club a player.
It's not a con also, is there not a shop up the road where ya could have claimed to bet, I'm sure there used to be.
