Bookies are wankers, this is nothing new. Gambling is only ever meant to have one winner - the bookie.

Good to see, they make vast amounts every year, shitehawks.
A glitch in the software is of course always possible. However, the liability of that glitch does not reside on the person playing the game. They register, agree to the T&Cs and play live. If it’s found that the person winning has been partner to the causing of the glitch, the company would have had a proper case. The participant played the game in a fair manner in this case, the company agreed to take his money and let them play. After the matter they discovered an issue that had nothing to do with the individual who was willing to participate and attempted to retrospectively cancel his gaming.I wonder what the glitch was was it simply a glitch that it was programmed never to let someone win that amount ?
Inadvertently watched a really good film about the bloke who battled Ford and other companies after they stole his idea for intermittent windscreen wipers.Good for him.
I can totally see how it would have affected his mental health - battling big companies must be awful.
Hope the money makes up for it.
If you google online bookies scams it's horrendous, betway seem to be the worst.Great outcome. Horrendous industry, need to be reigned in across the board.
Agree. All these companies are just as bad. Need to be banned from tv, social media and sporting events. There is nothing glamorous about gambling.
Try cancelling an account. Almost impossible. Most need a third party online organisation to set them restrictions of 1,2 or 5yr from being able to access online gambling platforms.If you google online bookies scams it's horrendous, betway seem to be the worst.
They just cancel your account at will if you win a decent amount.
Good post, I’ve stopped putting my bets on match threads, Ive over did a bit, I wouldn’t want anyone following my shite tipsA glitch in the software is of course always possible.

This is a very important verdict. Hopefully it will show a lot of people how these companies are not the “fun”, “just a few quid on a weekend whilst out with the lads”, “whey, it’s all a laugh” type of organisations. They are brutal.
The mods on here do a good job in removing betting content from the football threads in this respect. Personally I think it’s a mugs game. If you like a dabble, fair enough, but remember there are impressionable people who will read your tips and predictions and could get hurt.
I had sky slots pay £10 into my old online account as an adjustment - I'm thinking the slot I was playing glitched (they are the only ones ever). One other thing that used to piss me off is that as a low roller 10-25p a spin I was never going to get a sniff of a jackpot payout - I think they should warn you that the jackpot will only ever drop if you're wagering like £5 a spin or some shit.I don’t ever recall an online bookie or casino getting in touch with me saying oh btw the games you’ve been playing were glitching, here have your stakes back.
They were happy to take his money. It stinks that theyve taken so long to pay out.
I’ll still be throwing a few quid on the National this coming weekend. Only time anybody in my family places a bet these days, as it’s part of a gathering and event, just for fun. Only a couple of quid each etc.Good post, I’ve stopped putting my bets on match threads, Ive over did a bit, I wouldn’t want anyone following my shite tips
To be honest I found it easy, took me about 15mins to ban myself from every bookies online for 5 year, I didn’t bet great sums of money but I found myself spending so much time on the sites that I just got fed up with myselfTry cancelling an account.

The online ones end up banning the accounts of anyone who consistently makes a profit from gambling. It is ridiculous that they can get away with it.The shit bookies try to get away with is ridiculous. Fuck them, get that man paid you crooks.
Maybe things have changed in last 10yrs. Last thing I knew was that it was difficult to cancel one online account, let alone ban yourself from all online bookies. That’s good to hear tbh.To be honest I found it easy, took me about 15mins to ban myself from every bookies online for 5 year, I didn’t bet great sums of money but I found myself spending so much time on the sites that I just got fed up with myself
That bbc doc with Lloyd Griffith and the tennis court siding was a great eye opener to that. Somebody winning too muchThe online ones end up banning the accounts of anyone who consistently makes a profit from gambling. It is ridiculous that they can get away with it.
I cannot remember the site I used but it was a simple registration, enter your phone number/numbers and same with email address, I suppose there is still ways around it for people but as I only have 1 phone and 1 email addy that’s me barred myself as I’m not wasting my time setting up other emails etcMaybe things have changed in last 10yrs.
