Paddy Power . Absolute Bluffers

I rarely use PP anymore there are far better bookies out there.If PP have a good special or are best priced, which is rare, I will use them but that isnt too often.

  And they are not legally obliged to pay out. Shatter talked about putting some law around bookies and them having to treat customers like, well, customers. The idea that they can make a mistake and then welch is unique to them and needs to be changed.

I am what you would clueless when it to betting as i only go to Paddy Power once every four years ( not kidding either ) when i bet on the World cup . Now for some strange reason i won money at the last two world cups so in i go with my betting slip give over the counter and get the 1000 yard stare like i have just whacked her sister . Hey a smile would be handy but nothing . Well roll on 2018

I'm a regular in the bookies but I agree with SGB, on most points.

Without a refund??OK, maybe I missed something, but I ASSUME PP would refund you your money?

In the event of a blatant price error you can either have your stake refunded or you can be paid out on the correct price.

At their discretion. They are not obliged to do this.

if fairness there are some awful doses in every bookies


paddy power loves the 5 euro punter who stays all day backing horses dogs virtuals etc.. its a guaranteed profit maker in the end.

the reason I set up this thread a while back was that although they claim to be the best bookies out there.
The simple fact is they dont like losing money, which is understandable, Nobody does, but they have to take the good with the bad. They dont tho. If anyone sticks to a regular betting pattern that shows small signs of profit if any 3 or 4 week period they get an email and will be told to f**k off
