Wait until the money is actually in your bank account. I once withdrew about £2000 from bet365 after meeting a bonus rollover requirement in a dodgy way, and the money never got paid. I pleaded with them that my bets were honest they they eventually credited the betting account and allowed me to meet the roll over requirement fairly.

Irrelevant Shirley? 25% in one day, better than the Alliance & Leicester.

Yeah,25% I'd rather not say the stake, not much for some but a big risk for me if they hadnt paid out
Maybe between different firms forsure, but not 6/4 each of two in a two horse race with the same firm...def a palp
I am impressed. Well spotted. I was just checking my maths.

But if they hadn't paid out, they would have refunded your stake as a void bet.
Agree with that. I made few hundred risk free when we beat Newcastle in the cup the 2nd time as Ladbrokes and hills were both odds against in the "to qualify" market, but never seen it with same firm, apart from if the market moves and you can cover the bet.
They may have only voided winning bet, not the losing one
The op got lucky that the genuine 6/4 shot (the ace) came in...
If the US Open winner got his racquet on the ace in question he would be down 50% of his 'large stake' !!

Sometimes they change the price to the correct one instead of voiding.

These glitches do happen, and when/if they do jump in with both feet. Worse case scenario you get a refund. A while ago on a well known betting forum a city trader guy started to spot anomalies early. Early on he gave a South African nag at 100/1 that other firms were showing single figures. Anyhow it won and for a while he proved really useful highlighting bookmaker's faults with prices.
I did the same in a less joyous situation when we were evens to qual v Palace in the playoffs with Sky, and Palace were 11/10 to qual with Stan James

Yeah,but as i had put the same amount on both bets, I would have lost the stake on the losing bet, and I wouldn't have been very happy

No I wouldn't have been, because I had backed both options, at the same odds(6/4), for the same stake e.g. to get the ace £100 at 6/4 realising £250, and to NOT get the ace £100 at 6/4 =£250( including stake) It didn't matter if he got the ace or not,the profit was £50
My stake wasn't£100 btw
Mate, they wouldn't have paid you 6/4 if there was not an ace...I was in the business for 30 years and i can assure they don't pay on palp errors
really
A few still don't get it but you did. Did you have both bets go on at same time? Otherwise you would have had a few sweaty seconds that the price would change.
