British Forum BETTING thread

24-0 up and it's only the 2nd quarter. I doubt anyone listened but I hope they did. If not, maybe next time.

 

I had a decent bet on Hopkins at 5/4 with BWIN ...ive emailed them for there take on a NC after they had declared the result in dawson favour... will keep you posted as to there reply...

 

I spoke to victor chandlers live help this morning. Not a chance i'm seeing my money again. The result that's announced is the result that stands unless it's down to human error. I.e the wrong name is announced.

The green bay bet I posted won again, fully raking it in off of them.

 

Even if its changed to a NC you won't get your money back, I'm surprised anyone actualy thinks they would...

 

LOL! Just after I posted that I logged on to withdraw my Dawson winnings (sorry) and I had more than I thought, turns out Paddy Power are refunding bets on Hopkins & the draw (which i'd covered)

This was the message ..."Last night’s fight between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson ended with Hopkins floored and Dawson declared the winner by TKO, but the circumstances which led to the flooring were something we’d expect to see in rugby, not boxing. The clip hircled the Paddy Towers and we’ve decided the decision was ridiculous so, we’re refunding on Hopkins!

All bets on Dawson have been allowed to stand but Hopkins bets have been refunded and your money returned to your account. It’s bcostly weekenPaddy Power after we refunded on Wales in the rugby, Opinion Poll and Chicago Grey in racing, and there’s still the money back special available on Newcastle v Tottenham this afternoon!

Regards,

The team at Paddy Power"

I wouldn't expect many bookies to follow suit but it may be worth checking/asking but I would of thought most will just tell you they settle on the official result & it's first past the post. Paddys are by far the best bookies when it comes to this & honoring mistakes

 

Im livid over the farcical scenes last night as I had a double of McCloskey points/Hopkins points. But to be honest, even from the 2 rounds we did get I think it was obvious that Dawson was too fast and would have won anyway.

 

Nice one ...will use this with BWIN and see what they say .... if this is the case will sacirifice a larger price in recognition of customer goodwill... well done mate :good

 

Good, I stuck my Mayweather TKO/KO/DQ, Hopkins Win and Margarito KO/TKO/DQ Treble on at Paddy Power so my bets still going :good

 

glad to here paddypower users have recent a refund thats great!.

I'm trying again with victor chandler, i'm not giving up. Everyone should complain to there bookies. My complaint is being passed on to the settling team.

 

Any idea what I could write to Bet365 lads?

 

could do with knowing this aswell. Keep getting stuck up women on the live chat so they've given me a email address to complain to. I doubt anything will come of it, maybe better waiting till it's over turned...if it s.

 

Just spoken to a Stanjames operator in live chat. Wasnt much help at all really. She basically said they go on the result and even though it should have been declared n/c they wont be refunding. Also, if it is overturned they wont be refunding either!

So I wont be placing any bets with them for 1 month in protest:good

EDIT - Just spoke to Sky on the same matter as I couldnt resist a cheeky £20 on Hopkins UD last night. The operator (again, female) said similar but she did say I could send an email which will be dealth with by the relevant department and they may refund.

 

I think i'm gonna stick with paddypower from now on.

 

Everyone should complain, even if we don't get anywhere, we shouldn't just lie down and accept it.

 

The only bet I won all week was DeGale on points over the Pole, put a ton on at 5/2 in the arena.... oh and QPR/Blackburn draw.

Leeds kept a clean sheet again, Bellew didn't get the decision over Cleverly, Spurs didn't beat Newcastle and Hopkins ''got beat'' by Dawson.

Good call on DeMarco, whoever that was :good
