    If they put high odds up by mistake and I bet on that

    Should they honour it ?

    Yes (well online )

    I was looking at the live bets

    Noticed iran u21 v portugal u21


    It had portugal to score 3rd goal at 50/1

    Thought woah, im banging a tenner on that.


    2 mins later portugal score 3rd goal

    Theyve paid me £ 5.33


    Despite my slip saying 50/1


    Spoke to a mate who says they have human error clauses

    I'd say that's such a fundamental term of the contract it should be prominantly displayed on the website...

    Small print... If our product is sh/t... Our workmanship sh/t... F@ck offf... Doubt it would stand in court....

    Basically it sounds like a try on and you should threaten em with legal action...

    my suggestion would be dont bet with S_hit bookies. I very rarely, if ever, bet with WH, coral, paddy power, ladbrokes, betfred........as i have too many friends who want bets on and they turn round and refuse their business even though they (the bookie) claim to accept any bet etc.....they dont, never have, and its a load of old balls.
