Title: Lucky Jammy Story Post by: Chili on April 14, 2007, 05:06:22 PM Right, i'm not much of a better. In fact I hardly ever place bets, but for the Irish Open this year I decided to have a punt on 3 people to make the final. I put £40 in Paddy Power and looked down the long list and decided to pick 3 @ £10 each. My choices were:
Praz Bansi Stuart Fox (foxy) Paul Foltyn (pab) A complete mess up. Praz went out in under 2 hours, Stuart wasn't evening playing and Pab was a few thousand miles away. Well I least i got my money back from the 2 bets and gave up my betting career there and then!! Today, a mate rings up and tips me about a horse in the Grand National. So I remember I got some scraps in Paddy Power so decide to give it a bash with my £30 quid. I couldnt remember my details though so I had to ring them up. The guy gave me my username and asked me to log in while he was on the phone, so I logged in and the balance showed up immediately. I spat my tea all over the screen, as the balance read £680 WHAT!!!! Paddy Power asks if im alright and I mumbled yes, thanked him and put the phone down! On looking at the history and seeing how they had managed to tease me with 600 odd quid, I see a bet was paid out. PAUL FOLTYN finalled and paid out 66-1. ;yippee; ;yippee; ;yippee; Little did I know there is another Paul Foltyn who isn't PAB who made me money! Nice one, and thank you Grand National and mates who make you bet. Title: Re: Lucky Jammy Story Post by: pokerram on April 14, 2007, 07:47:46 PM nice one chilli

Title: Re: Lucky Jammy Story Post by: bolt pp on April 15, 2007, 12:33:33 AM LOL Who you telling Mr Tomatoe? Won it fair and square 8) yeah but be honest, when you first saw your balance you thought they'd made a ric and you wanted to cash the dough in before they noticed their mistake, that's why you put the phone down quickly ::) It's what i would've done!!! Title: Re: Lucky Jammy Story Post by: kinboshi on April 15, 2007, 12:49:00 AM Excellent stuff :)up

I'll be honest with you I dont know what I would have done. Like to think I would have told them if it was a mistake because they will find out in the end anyway, but who knows. I was in shock, I wanted to get off and find out what the hell happened. I knew you could look at bet history so I went straight there and saw they paid out one of my bets. No mistake - just my flukey one!!! Well I dont know Paul Foltyn but ill get PAb a drink next time I see him for not being in Ireland and scuppering my chances.

Title: Re: Lucky Jammy Story Post by: The Baron on April 16, 2007, 12:19:06 AM I knew there had to be one Paul Foltyn who could play poker!
