Bet I placed in boylesports shop

[iri$hkelt]

Hello,

I usually use my local bookie in town to bet but I was in another town and went to boylesports to place a bet.. what i did is below

France win 21/20
England draw no bet 4/6
3:15 sandown Simonside not to win 1/2 (I forget what exact race and horse name but it came up anyway)

30euro wrote below my bet and also in the wee box

Went to cash my slip today in the shop expecting 140something euro and she handed me 50.. I says that cant be right sure france alone 30 wulda got me near 60.. she says oh it must of all been taken as singles because you cant put a horse special in a accumalator.. I then said whats that about you took my bet, go ahead and void my horse bet then and pay me on france win and england draw no bet..

she then came back with 80euro to me this still doesnt add up as 30 double on france at 21/20 and england 4/6 should be 102.50 euro back..

I have never heard you cant put a special bet mixed with a accumalor? Maybe imwrong but I only still got 80euro back which should have been at least 102.50 and I think I still should have got my 140something euro..

I was in a rush and took my 80euro as im on my way to a wedding, She has my slip now ripping I cashed it I just wasnt thinking until I had checked this out..

Opinions anyone? And even if I am right is it too late now because I have no slip? I was basically done for about 60euro.

Thanks in advance

special bets are normally single bets only dude

Special bets can't be done as part of an acca

If that's all you wrote, that's 3 singles. You are due back about $75

Special bets are singles only.
They 3rd bet isn't void. It's 3 singles. 3 winners

Hey,

The replies you've got here are pure BS. Ring Boyles, you're a cert to get paid.

[CheckRaise]

Ladbrokes are notorious for pulling shit like this that results in a punter losing money.

Seemingly you have to find the T&C on the wall in that particular shop, go through all of it to understand that the bet that is flashing on the screen 5 minutes before the off is available as a single only for some unknown reason.

Have a read now the next time your in a boyles and see if this is actually mentioned anywhere in their T&C.

It is wrong to say ALL specials are, in Boyles, singles only.... Horse match betting is taken in multiples +. unfortunate for you those "to not win" specials clearly stipulate, at the bottom of the tile, singles only ( which always confused me... What's the difference of going up and having a €100 on at 1/2 on a " not to win" bet, collecting, and then having 150 on a football team. Same bet, waste of the rain forest.

Thanks for the replies lads, As I see it the bet I placed should have been paid minimum france winand england draw no bet which was 102.50.. thats the minimum i feel i should have got..

I dont get why a special is so different, they give the special why cant I double it? Online I can why not in shop?

They accepted my bet, If my horse had of won which I bet not to win do you honestly think I would have been paid on the other 2 teams single bets? This is a joke they make their own rules .. And if horse had of won and i lost i prob lose my 30euro thats wat sickens me cause they make their rules

Honestly how did they work out paying me 80euro.. I put 30euro acc on 20/21 , 4/6 , 1/2

And they pay me on 15 double 20/21 and 4/6 and 15 on horse at 1/2... (which they were trying pay 10 on all 3 bets and it was obvious they werent singles)

where did i mention 15 on my slip? y do they assume that? If they void my horse special I was due minimum 102.50 alone which I dont see y it should be void

[Mellor]

Your always going to want the option that it pays the most. The payout is less on singles because it covers the times one bet loses. You would of got paid in that case, as the special Had to be a single. If you had of wrote accumulator, or triple it something you have a case for voiding one and paying the double as it couldn't of meant singles. If there's any grey area, the bookers won't do you any favours.

The main problem is that 'in your mind' like most punters, that in the likelyhood of the 'special' being beaten you would have 'binned your docket', afterall you had placed a bet which you perceived to be a treble.... how many Boylesports/PP/L'brookes/WH etc etc do unpaid bets of this type lay unclaimed....

This is wrong. You can't do it online. Very very rarely can you put a special in as part of an accum

And they pay me on 15 double 20/21 and 4/6 and 15 on horse at 1/2... (which they were trying pay 10 on all 3 bets and it was obvious they werent singles)

If you didn't write the words treble or accum and just listed 3 bets and put the total, then whether you included a special or not, they are absolutely within their rights to pay you the bet as 3 singles. Lots of casual punters just throw single bets on the same slip day in and day out so it's your fault in all fairness for not writing the bet out clearly

Your always going to want the option that it pays the most. The payout is less on singles because it covers the times one bet loses. You would of got paid in that case, as the special Had to be a single. If you had of wrote accumulator, or triple it something you have a case for voiding one and paying the double as it couldn't of meant singles.

and this. Bookies help themselves and not the punters generally. Ask mdoug

What bet did mdoug get fked over on?


I think a bet that is catching out punters betting on the euros that arent used to placing bets is (and im not sure if its the case everywhere, so im asking?)
If you were to include England to win, and A.Carroll to be first goalscorer in the same accum bet. I dont think that is allowed.
You can however do England to win and Ronaldo to score. just not If you have bet on the players team already in the same accumulator.
