THE BETTING THREAD

[Pepe the Horseman]

A few times I've had my bet refunded when I've accidentally bet on the wrong thing, but get what you're saying. I'm sure they wouldn't have been refunding people that only bet because of the bigger odds, if PSG hadn't gone through.

Agree though- Trader obviously didn't realise the away goal rule and compared with other bookmakers they then re-priced accordingly

Erm... no, I imagine that if that was the case they wouldn't be able to back out.

It was just an admin mistake, which is why they are able to renege on the bet.

Yeah because they would admit it and say the truth rather than just calling it an admin mistake

We'll never know for sure

I don't think that Skybet would a) suddenly forget the away goal rule or b) publish a price before comparing it with the market.

If their genuine price was 25/1 then this would have been available over the phone, in store and on the full website, as well as on the mobile app, and if they were lying about this then it would be trivially easy to demonstrate it.

Just chucked a fiver on it

[Pepe the Horseman]

Super Reading are a whopping 6/1 to win tonight. We're either gonna get spanked, or we'll sneak a 1-0 win.

Am I deluded in thinking we might shock a few? Bournemouth looked very nervy against Brighton until they scored.

Not with stiffs and kids.

No way we'll be at full strength tonight.

[Pepe the Horseman]

On the flip side, mans might be thinking a good performance tonight will put them in contention for Saturday. Think I'll have a fiver on us, just in case.
