Paddy Power . Absolute Bluffers

Actually before you get off your high horse there chief i though i'd let you know i'm not a big gambler, hadn't got much on it and only did it on the back of a mate doing it plus the habit of Walters scoring recently against the big teams in the bigger games. I wasn't complaining about the score or anything of that sort, i was complaining about how the bet got transferred from 1 initial bet to another.

Just assumed, and obviously wrongly, that when it's offered as 1 combined bet, that when you bet on it and a part of the bet can't happen because the players on the bench but the team score that it's just voided. You are backing Walters to score and Stoke to win 1-0. He's not on the pitch therefore he cannot score nor can he affect the game. The bookies have essentially just taken the original money you put on and put it on a different bet at different odds to which i never picked. If i wanted to back 1-0 then i'd have backed just 1-0. If they'd won 1-0 with Walters on the pitch and he didn't score the bookies would have paid out but when someone else scores and he's not playing they shouldn't just be able to transfer the bet to something which is a lot shorter in odds, which is essentially what they've done.

He also had 4k on Barcelona.

For their own sake they should pay out as they will lose more than 21k due to the publicity. They are the worst company of all to bet with though.

I used PP during Cheltenham as they've better odds and each way terms on horses than BET365. BET365 generally has better odds on football and they've much better cash out options. The vast majority of my gambling is on football. Apart from Cheltneham I'd rarely bet horses, I'd occasionally bet on darts, snooker and tennis.
