also if it was a glitch how come its affected no-one else ?
All good questions
No doubt very expensive QCs will pick those points apart

Reading the limited evidence there, I do wonder how often a betting company voids a significant winning without substantive grounds and keeps it quiet by paying off the recipient, hoping that people will just accept there’s been a technical error and be happy with the dosh.
Possibly another bookies.
Most bookies are shitbags.
SkyBet suspended my account on August 15 without tellimg me - I tried to logon and got a message to contact them.
The balance on my account was £1150 and they are witholding this from me.
They say that their Security Team is "investigating" my account but nobody from their Security Team has contacted me and they refuse to give me the telephone number of the Security Team so that I can contact them.
They refuse to tell me what they are investigating and say they can't give me a deadline for when the investigation will complete.
Ther advertising slogan is "SkyBet - Betting Better" - what a joke!!
You won money mate, end of story.
All these you guns giving it the big locks about how much they win every week are full of shit. If you have anything about you gambling wise the bookie will either shut your account or limit you to stupid bets like 50p.
The self service betting terminals are good for putting big bets on.Absolutely this.
If you can get £100s on with an online bookmaker then generally speaking it's because you've got a history and/or profile that suggests you're a mug punter.
I do most of my bets in the shops now - ironically mainly Betfred because of Best Odds Guaranteed - but even then if you try and get £100+ on they refer you to head office and more often than not limit the stake.

Moral of the story is don’t bet, it’s a mugs game. Statistically you lose, simple as
Its a f***ing dreadful resultTake the 60k and run. Not worth the risk of losing in court. Betfred could afford to pay out if they lose, not sure punter could.
60k isn't a bad result is it.
Online casinos and slots will be announcing record profits this year .
I'm expecting a canny bonus in December
Yep, sadly whilst none of us are privy to what exactly happened, I fear that the legal backing of a blue chip company will scare the shit out of a working class gadgee who has (in comparison) not a pot to piss in. I'm sure I'd be intimidated, even if I knew I was in the right.Bookies have always tried to get out of paying bets. Normally the best way of getting them to pay up is go to the press to attract a bit of negative publicity.
This case is pretty interesting though as if there was a true glitch in the system, the bookies will be worried of a large compo payout to all customers.
Good luck to the fella but I can’t help but feel that the bookies will spend a fortune on lawyers and he will end up with nothing.
