That is the very opposite of racist. Could equally have done it with black british or Irish in Britain

Was it a blatant price error? What was the bet?

Bet was in running on a football match, with 10 mins to play the team in question where 2-0 up and I saw the price(it was blatantly/stupidly wrong) 3/1, draw was 1/50 on, anyway lashed on a few quid,  then price moved out to 6/1 lashed on another few quid as did a few others..Match ended 2-1 and result was pending for quite sometime, when it did settle they paid the price it should have been 1/100 on...
Sent them off a mail and they came back with all the spiel about errors and wrong pricing etc.
Coonts, would have happily snapped up the coin if bet had failed.

Of course they would have. I have no ideas how that makes Paddy Power "coonts" as you put it? You thought you saw an opportunity to take advantage of a blatant price error (I would have done the same) and you didnt get away it. The amount of people gambling who seem to absolutely despise the bookies but still bet with them is mind boggling. If you hate them so much stop pumping money into them. Bizarre Confused

I totally agree with Wallsy. 

Unfortunately in life people make  mistakes and you have to allow for that. You knew that wasnt the correct price yet you still moan about not being paid out on the incorrect price. The terms and conditions are there as there will always be an element of human error involved especially when prices are changing so often with BIR. If you think PP are as bad as you say then you need to close your account with them.

Yes, once a blatant price error is spotted then all customers effected be it win, loss or whatever the outcome, are contacted. You either have the option to cancel your bet or be paid at the correct price.

Very disappointed that my big bet so far this year wasn't with Paddy Power, like nothing more than taking a large whack of them, not sure which was sweeter winning €650, or collecting it off PP last October.

I'm pretty sure the idea is to take money from the company but it rarely works out that way LOL

Whatever way you look at it you are giving them your business. I would never give my money to a company I felt were dodgy or untrustworthy. Its bizarre imo

I've no beef with PP or any bookmaker but the industry itself is a bit dodgy - they are covered by some crazy clauses.

Nearly every gambler I know week in week out feels like they are being done out of money by their gambling company. They winge and moan and complain yet every week they continue to hand over their cash to them. If you dont like the industry or the way it is run then dont bet its as simple as that. If I felt I was being robbed all the time or done out of money by a company there is no way in hell I would continuegiving them my business.

And about the "clauses" they are available to anyone to view prior to you opening an account with any betting companies. If you feel they are unfair then you probably shouldnt start an account with them.
