Dispute with bookie
Hello chaps just a quick post to ask for opinions on my dilemma.
Had a treble last night on chris eubank jnr to win by decision or technical decision......kid Galahad to win by decision or techincal decision .......and Junior Witter to win outright.......a very decent return of just under 60/1!!!
Any way my betting slip was judged to be a loser in the shop today......they couldn't tell me which fight was a loser.
I am presuming the Kid Galahad fight which the ring docter stopped for cuts was the loser.......but then surely a technical decision would be given making my bet a winner??
Excuse my ignorance but what exectly is a decision and what is a technical decision!?
cuts are usually ruled as tko's so just what exactly is the technical decision???
your thoughts are greatly appreciated
thanks

 

Damn that's a nice bet but you're unlucky.

A technical decision is when the fight is stopped by something not in the rules and they go to the scorecards. For example a cut caused by an accidental headbutt.

If the cuts are caused by legal punches then the boxer who inflicted them wins via a technical knockout. Like Lewis vs Vitali.

 

cool....thankyou
worth a shot anyway....gotta see "the manager" tomoro anyway hahahaa
be interesting to see what he says lol

 

ps im sick as a ****ing parrot lol......had £10 on....return woulda been £550
BUMMER

 

That's actually horrific. Won £60 last night myself. Had the over (8.5) in the Galahad fight in my bet as I was too scared to go Galahad decision.

I know that does the opposite of help but just thought I'd say.

 

Well played @SuperTed
it does actually help me a little ......always like to see the bookie taking a kicking.....he is my enemy lol

 

Had 50 on united t win the league 8 days ago when they were 5-2..wasn't even that upset that they didn't win today, some ending to a season, great drama..

 

nice, I'm a big fan of inplay betting.

I always look on Bet365 where they have all the stats up. If you can see one team is all over the other one and they're still drawing with 25 minutes or something left you can get some pretty juicy odds.

 

Been sucked in by in play recently but got sucked out on two games which were dead certs. Would have lumped on City to win at 80th minute if i was near a laptop.
