Done a Paddy Power enhanced odds double tonight.

Stoke to beat Fulham
Barca to beat Sevilla

3/1

Stuck £20 on so will be a nice little earner if it comes in.

Stoke 3-0 up at half time, so far so good.

Barcelona should win and are as low as 2/5 at some places although I've had too many bad experiences with bankers letting me down to get carried away yet.

I shouldn't be suprised by my terrible luck, but it never ceases to amaze me how a side suddenly goes from world beaters to terrible as soon as I put money on them.

same principal as the first goalscorer and correct score double, clearly not a straight accumulator, i think the odds should be higher than straight singles and he has been under offered

however if their terms and conditions state they dont have to pay out on mistakes the punter has nowhere to go

I work in a bookies and i do feel for the guy as i am a gambler aswell and can see his fustration as the bet was taken and no comment made by the cashier at the time. If i feel a bet could be refused i will always check with the bookies. I tried for last season to have leeds win the league, hull kr in the playoffs and celtic to finnish bottom, they were all at evens just about so would pay quite nice. but they would not accept the bet as it was conflicting, so it is kind of the same i guess as because it snowed in one town it is more likley that is snowed in another town so the odds should be reduced. (if that makes sence)
There is no way he will get paid out though, i guess as he has complained he will get bet vouchers and the like.

I wonder how he actually put the bet on.....crash in with 5 or so others getting on at Portman Park or the like and no wonder the cashier did not pick up on it....if he asked if it was an acceptable bet etc then I would have a bit more sympathy though I think he knew exactly what he was doing and knew he had little chance of success.
