British Forum BETTING thread

Yep - a bunch of us got turned over on the Theophane/Hamilton fight. They said the fight took place an hour before it actually did. They didn't like the fact that the 6/1 - 13-1 underdog won !
Paddy Power are one to avoid

 

you fancy holland over the germans? I've gone for portugal/germany but I know one of them will end in a draw no doubt about it.

 

If you genuinely placed it prior to the start then take it to IBAS, your bet slip will have a time on it and it would be easy enough to confirm what time the fight started.

 

Yeh fancy the Dutch tonight at 7/4, realistically should of beat the Danes, and thought the Germans did well to beat Portugal, Solid bet in my view, but we will see :hey

 

Didn't know about IBAS. Have just sent them the details. Cheers !
Having tried the promoters, BBoBC and Sky for their official confirmation of the start time of the fight and none of them can be bothered I don't hold out much hope.

 

paddypower screwed me out of a stupid tennis bet once too. It was some no hoper against a top tennis player I guess, anyway I had a quid in my account and the match was as good as over (with the guy expected to win winning) anyway I put the bet on and about five mins later the player winning got injured and ended up losing the match, it was something like 150/1 i'd got on it at. I waited for my money to be put into my account and all I received was my pound back, I called them up to ask why and they told me it was due to a time delay on the site, which was bull****.

 

They always do it & cos there's no slip, there's no way to prove when you made the bet, not going near paddy power ever again

 

^ If you check your bets there's a time next to it, you can print the slip or do a screen cap...

Ask Paddy Power what they're basing the start time on, they'll have to prove that you placed the bet before the off anyway, not the other way round I believe.

 

I checked my betting history & it's not even there:twisted: I made the bet on Rigondeaux the day of the fight, they took the money but the next morning they just gave me my money back but not my winnings:think

 

never had that, when I've tried to bet on fights I know have already ended and haven't got away with it the actual bet still shows up with the result void and my stake returned...

 

Did anyone do the paddypower group betting? It's looking pretty good right now but i'm just wondering if it's worth placing another bet to cover it.

 

I think with tennis bets if a player retires through injury than all bets get voided, I remember I bet on somebody and they were losing badly but i got my money back because he retired through injury so that might be why they didn't pay out for u

 

Ladbrokes have odds up on Carl Froch's next opponent:

Kessler 7/4
Bute 2/1
Cleverly 7/1
Hopkins 20/1

Good odds for both Kessler and Bute, surely it will be one of them :think

 

Anyone bettin on the prizefighter heavyweight tournament next week? Johnson is the favourite at 6/5 and Sonowski is at 9/2 the next guy down is 11/2, so that means Johnson and Sosnowski should make it to the finals and for them 2 to meet in the finals is 5/1 that's some nice odds

 

Rhodes and Munroe double at 4/1 - what do you think?
