advise needed, do they need to honour the bet

[vegas2011]

Thanks for your reply's,they still havent got back to me yet,what i didnt mention is that every market was incorrect as they had djorkovic at 6/4 for the current set. Another question is what would of happened if i had backed ferrer at odds on and ferrer had won, would they have given me the 4/9 or the 2/1 he should of been.

i know nothing about gambling im afraid but just asked someone who does. this person says you placed the bet in good faith at the advertised price. laddies obviously spotted the mistake coz they withdrew the market. subsequently they had plenty of time to contact you directly or even just to place an error message on the website. the difference in price is significant and ladbrokes dont like bad press. the more you kick off the more likely you are to get what you want. they like to avoid going to ibas and will offer you a compromise but stick to your guns. this comes from laddies point of view and not from a punter.

Ps I thought all bets.... never mind error or not aren't enforceable cuz they are gentlemans agreement rather than contract or is this old news?

I would go down the redarmi route but also don't let them fob you off easily keep on at them

gambling act 2005

335  Enforceability of gambling contracts

(1)The fact that a contract relates to gambling shall not prevent its enforcement.

In real world terms it is a bit like going to Curry's and seeing a 40inch  TV with a pricetag of 19.99 when it should clearly be 1999.  You wouldn't expenct them to honour the 19.99 when you got to the till.

No I would expect them to honour this at the till, however I would not expect them to take my money wait until the TV was in my car (or my home) and then charge me the additional £1,980.

People are saying that the price of 7/4 was clearly wrong. Laddies might know that but how would a normal punter? If punters could work out the real price then almost no one would ever bet.

No chance of getting paid- palpable error- 1000000-1 to get 7-4 after ibas

This, a 20 quid free bet is what they will offer you.

Def palpable error afraid. Shocking that they don't give you option to void before tbh, crse if it loses they just say nowt and lol@you.

I'd def highlight fact you wouldn't have backed at 4-7 and that you feel their customer service skills sucks, if yr a good good customer who knows.

Placed a bet on a golfer once at 300-1, eventually i got an email saying it was a palpable and i was on at 100-1. I complained and demanded they void my bet, they did but only after whinging a great deal, and basically saying this was the only time they'd void such a bet.

Just lol, they screw up, then they try and screw me too. Wasnt lads btw, was the jokers as sad james who soon after closed my ac, mickey mouse fools.

In my experience when they balls up a market like this they usually void all the affected bets pronto.  Hanging on until the result is known is just dodgy.

I once called Ladbrokes asking them for a monkey at 3/1 on a horse in a 5f sprint.  They referred the bet to trading and it took a while.  Eventually I got the answer back that I could only have fifty quid.....but that was after the race had finished (although the horse was still running).  Most of these firms are similar....more incompetent than intentionally trying to have you over.  There have been exceptions over the years but they have all gone out of business..

Depends how persistent you want to be, annoy them enough and they will give you something more times than not.
An email slapping you on the wrist?That would work...

Whole thread is just a brilliant needle to Matt50, SweetPotato, Milligan84 and StuHopkin.

Agreed, lose more imo!

Same thing happened to me a while back with Will hills, didn't quite have a 7k roll though. Sent a few emails got nowhere, left them, got an email with a free £25 casino spin. Spun that upto a few hundred then blew the lot trying to clear the bonus conditions for withdrawl.
