What is the actual bet? To win a set 6-3? Is this in play? To get offered 2 x £50 free bets in lieu of a £1000 win is pretty good considering it was a £0.50 bet. Obviously he loses if it goes to court. Title: Re: Palpable error to go to court? Post by: Doobs on June 01, 2015, 11:11:05 AM What price would you offer on this ever going to court?
Assuming you can't palp it obv. Title: Re: Palpable error to go to court? Post by: TheDazzler on June 01, 2015, 11:16:31 AM What price would you offer on this ever going to court? Assuming you can't palp it obv. You can't just negate my palping option sir! I reserve the right to palp. I offer you 1,000,000-1 the court visit.* *"Court" in this example means Supreme Court. What price would you offer the court? Surely it could easily go to a small claims court. Where it would be promptly thrown out. Title: Re: Palpable error to go to court?

The bookie saying "the odds we offered were too short, so we are giving you an extra £xxx" Title: Re: Palpable error to go to court?

The bookie saying "the odds we offered were too short, so we are giving you an extra £xxx" What's the point? Anyone stupid enough to make such a bet is obviously going to lose all their money super quickly. I hope that the twat in the article sees sense as there is virtually no chance of him winning and the books would see it as a justification of their rules. They would never risk going to court on a case that is not an error but just their poor judgement (usually evidenced by the book having their normal over-round).

A casual punter wants £10 on Arsenal to beat Villa 4-0 in the Cup Final. Gets 4/1 instead of 14/1. I don't think they are "stupid". We've all been ripped off in areas of life we don't know much about. Title: Re: Palpable error to go to court? Post by: sonour on June 05, 2015, 11:26:34 AM I took Ladbrokes to court over a palp and won by default as they didn't respond. The bet was placed in shop and was clearly a palp not an error of judgement.
