Bets FTW

After di Fredsta's epic betting find I thought it may be interesting to see if we could get a thread going for similar opportunities. I've been scouring the football bets for similar winning odds

Although such a much up by a bookie is very rare I'm sure we've all seen bets which are highly likely to happen yet have great odds.

So how about a thread for any future finds of 100% win bets or extremely likely with good odds bets

 

I don't gamble with real money, but D Fredsta's bet was more like theft

 

I rarely bet and tend to go for stupid ones or off opposing sites where it's win win

 

I'm normally one to bet on something I dont want to happen so if it does I win money so it's a win-win anyway. How much are you winning on Sunday anyway? I know someone who's put about a grand on it so WH could be getting a loss come Sunday

 

Put 250 on split 83% 17%. It's all good

 

I did 200

 

LOL When I used to go watch the hammers I'd always bet against them for exactly the same reason.

I will be keeping my eyes on this thread for the foreseeable future

 

Yeah.. I've just had an email from WH themselves. Saying something about taking the bet off or changing odds of it?

 

Still not confirmed...

 

No idea whats going on, they seem to have done nothing either way with my bet so far?

[TD="colspan: 2"]Dear Sir/Madam

We are unfortunately writing to apologise for a display error that occurred on the William Hill website for the Number Of Ferrari Points in the Italian GP today being released as 42.5 in error. The price was inadvertently displayed as 17/20 and as such the price on your bet is incorrect.

For a period, Under 42.5 was priced at 17/20. The price should have been captured at 1/100.

We apologise for the error and any inconvenience caused. As I’m sure you’ll understand, we make every effort to maintain high levels of accuracy throughout the site at all times. Unfortunately mistakes do happen and in these instances we have rules in place and we have to settle according to those rules.

As this was our mistake, we are going to settle your selection at the best genuine price available in the market at the time your bet was placed. In this case that was 1/100. Any over payment will be deducted from your account.

For further information regarding our procedure towards errors, please see our Terms and Conditions at http://www.williamhill.com

If you have any further queries regarding your bet on the above competition or any other subject please contact our Customer Services department on UK freephone 0800 085 6296, International freephone 00800 3551 3551, or by e-mail at [email protected].

We again apologise for any inconvenience you’ve suffered as a result of our error.

Best of luck

This is the email that I got, I've sent about 4 or 5 to them and got nothing back, I'm thinking about ringing them soon if I get nothing by tomorrow.

 

1/100! Balls would it have been those odds. Wouldn't have made the other bet either if it had!

Was my first ever bet with them so maybe its why they have yet to deal with me, don't want to loose me

I'll send them a email once they decide whats happening!

 

That bollocks. That market doesn't exist. They screwed it up with the under 19.5 points

 

So we have had the fail safe 'palpable error' thrown at us...

Here is some advice:
http://www.moremoneyreview.com/palpable-error-7227.html

I believe they havnt been reasonable of notifying us of the error. If we were told earlier we could have pulled out

 

Just keep bitching or you will take it to the regulators and see what they think about this "fraud"

 

I have had an email from a Bruce and a Rachel. Are they not characters from Batman?

 

I've too got in contact with WH, I'll post details if it was successful

 

Hmmm, its like that is it.

 

hiding behind rule 18. they know they are in the wrong. I have asked for evidence of the 100/1 odds existing and also clarification of 'obvious Error' as mistaking 17/20 for 1/100 seems far-fetched... No response as of this morning...

 

I'm going to give it a bit so I can speak to someone different. Anyone remember what the odds for a Ferrari 1,2 was? Couldn't have been anywhere near 100/1 surely?

Its not like the odds were obscene, the original offering was basically evens.
