Screwed by a Bookmaker.. should I get revenge?

[The Camel]

Do you think it's morally acceptable for me to deposit and withdraw £10,000 once a day for 20 days, so I get my £1,000 they basically stole from me?

Why don't you just deposit and witdraw £200k once?

Will you lend me the balance please?

[Maxriddles]

Good luck with this but I fear they will no doubt find a hidden t & c to fuck you over again. Bookies are never wrong and don't give a monkeys about customer service and business sense.

I stopped using Bluesquare, at the time my main ipoker client and my main sports book, after they shafted me out of the princely sum of £30. I even wrote to there customer service director pointing out the madness of not paying me what I was due, they didn't even respond and I have not spent a solitary penny on Bluesquare since, the way my football betting is running it's cost them plenty. Sadly I can't close my account completely because of the APAT events.

was it a digital version of the racing post or a paper copy?

I dont know how google cache works, but maybe that will have a copy of the former, and if its the latter, maybe someone will still have a copy?? It could be worth double checking before you proceed

I've never heard of a money back offer allowing bets up to a G-ball either, do these things come around often?


As for your Q, if you can get away with it, then go for it, but i suspect the site will have some choice words to say about it once it cottons on.

yeah pretty much this, if you havnt still got the copy of the post see if someone else has got it.

could be some fanastic e-mail correspondence between you and the firm if you go ahead with your plan to get your dough back and it works

keith says they say it had other t&c's apply and it was in those. To be honest Keith should have asked at the shop if it was valid or not. Which bookies? Did they offer you nothing as an 'act of good faith'?

[ACE2M]

and i'm pretty certain your plan wouldn't work, you may get 2 days through but unlikely to get more than that. These things are monitored daily and especially the big transactions.

[The Camel]

Oh they don't deny the net and phone clause rider wasn't in the ad.

they insulted my intelligence by claiming "there wasn't enough room in the advert for the line" when it was a full page ad, the next time the ad ran it was half page, and the line DID appear.

It was the newspaper and I still have the copy of the ad.

[steeveg]

yeah one of the reasons i only bet online is the offers you get which dont apply in the bookies ,so i assume the conditions of bet are probably right, you have to place bet on internet or phone, but they havent gone out of there way to explain the terms,and its obvious you have been misslead.
if the offer was for just 1 particular race it may be worth sending a email to ATR and explaining how you would never have placed the bet except for the cashback offer, if they think your right they may shame them into paying you out, nothing to loose
if the offer was for any race not sure how you can prove you only placed the bet because of the offer,  gl

If IBAS and the racing post draws a blank,....its not looking great!

Maybe if you want to piss them off/revenge....how about the Small claims court?

It's very cheap and easy.....A) you might persuade a judge on your moral case.
                                      B).they would prob instruct solicitors to turn up involving a nice little cost to them.

[anthonyl]

they dont have a max deposit in the conditions?

[Colchester Kev]

Did anything ever come of this Keith ?

[Royal Flush]

not worth the hassle keith imo. The best way to do it would be to buy an A9 greyhound for about £500 get a trainer to "get him ready" then go round all of the shops on a mad spree and stick loads on at sp. Make sure it is in a BAGS meeting. Then have a word with one or two of the on track bookie's and make them drift the price to around 7/1, then when it storms in u go collecting with a smile on your face. It's your dog afterall, whats wrong with having a few quid on?

obv call the dog sweet revenge. pm me before it runs ty.

In my experieince of having a lump on a dog in a BAGS meeting in a highstreet bookies they usually wont let you take the price.

yeah, but he's not taking the price, its a knock out job, the bookies on course are in on the coup and drift the dog out for a healthy sp

for the knock out job it has to be a pretty empty track with a weak market(that being said the state of the game today,especially BAGS meetings) that's most of em.

The way i'm running at the moment we'd get a dog up at about 7's that was 1/2 a second faster than anything else in the field but wound up getting knocked about all over the gaff to get bt a short head!!!

Don't need to get the bookies involved, will be no-one there so just smash into the 2nd/3rd fave on track and it will shoot your price out, as well as act as insurance.

and smashing into one these days with the one course firms at a bags meeting constitutes as being about £40-50! sad but true.

Agreed, a £50 on a dog on course at a bags meeting will take at LEAST half a point off.

I think i posted this on here before somewhere, i went to crayford saturday night ages ago, was packed but not with punters but drinkers, the inside was packed and i think i was waiting to back a dog later and i was mucking untill then, there was no one outside and i had (it might have been £20 but im almost certain it was £10) on a dog @ 7/2 and he wiped it and put 3/1, i think i was one of about 3 people to have a bet with them outside that race, sad to see!
