He made this bet



Corals said the bets were "too closely related" and refused to pay out the £15,000 instead they offered him £660

Not if the T-Shirt shop was the sort of high volume shop where thousands upon thousands of transactions happen per day, and you can write your idea on a bit of paper to be quickly processed for payment before being passed on to their design team.

it’s almost like a self service the whole “write on a bit of paper” thing at a bookies. It’s down to the client to know if they can bet on it I’m afraid. The rules are there, you just have to follow them.

If you find yourself unable to then my suggestion would be to place the bets online where a pre programmed automated system will be able to tell you of the bets are allowed.

There really is no comeback to what I’m saying, it’s literally how it is.

Selling a £35 item for £3500 is the same as giving 200-1 on something that should be 2-1 due to obvious relation between the legs.


No, the T shirt shop has a duty of care. Plenty of mistakes happen because of a ack of training and retail businesses usually end up having to make changes to comply with legislation, it's about time bookies stepped into the modern world and accepted responsibility for their mistakes, trained their assistants properly, this is why traditional bookies are shutting down and more people bet online.

Going to a bookie shop isn't convenient. Placing a bet isnt simply an idea either, it's a prediction of a physical outcome, an idea is something without physical form, a horse race, a football match, they have physical form.

I understand how it is I just think thats not how it should be. had the bet lost and that punter gone and asked for his money back, would the bookie have paid up?

Agree.
Understanding how it is and accepting how it is are two totally different things.
The rules, whilst modernised, are still out of touch with every other facet of modern life where the customer is better protected.
Whether in a casino or bookmakers, the odds are in their favour anyway, without this extra level of unfair and unjust protection
