Bookies' Odds Mistake

[8ace]

Quite often spot that in South African racing. One day I picked out 5 horses and guessed they would be around 5 to 10/1 with one i most fancied called Tiger right being about 8/1. When it came to having a bet it was priced at 100/1. So £10 ew plus put in all multiples. It won by 4 lengths and was returned at 13/2.

The guesser compiling the odds probably saw there was £2 available to back at 100 on Betfair and decided that was the price it should be.

Joe is the Bennett more likely to score anyway

 

[Del Boy]

He's scored two goals in his last 65 games!

Sometimes they void it, sometimes they change the odds (without telling you) and occasionally you get lucky and they don't spot it.

If they don't spot it and he fails to score, can you then point out to them their error and get a refund?

Remember it well, Tigers Retreat wasn't it? Led to the great manderson5 saga.

Could be, dont know about the manderson5 saga.

Think your right,

I was thinking that maybe it should of been 10s but gained an extra 0.

I bet the bookies regret cancelling those bets now.

With Bennett pushed to right back and Bruno ahead of him (WTF?) those odds were quite fair
