Sportsbet mistake

[Mr_Willy]

It just took this bet.....

$8,000 Collingwood 2.00 (+23.5)

$1300 on Sydney 15 pts and over at $7 TAB

cant lose

Forgive me for being dumb, but if Sydney win by over 24 points, then surely you will lose.

Outlay $9,300....

Collect $9,100....

[Dutchy]

Surely you now take Sydney +23.5 and have a 47 point middle? (win both bets risk free)

Strewth, could be a few maggoted lads on here singing "Good Ol' Collingwood Forever" on Sunday

I got on and then thought I would have a multi but missed out on that

i thought the same thing, look around to see if there was any obvious value around with either AFL or SANFL but perhaps i showed the best judgement of my life and just put collingwood on, because sure enough they will get the job done but if i had another bet in the multi they would let me down.

sydney can win by 65 points its sydney by 15 points or more

But if Sydney win by 20, 2 collects.Collingwood win collects $16000 for a $9300 outlay. Good insurance bet Grub

[another grub]

where are the 2 min noodles now!!!!!!!

transfered money from my mortgage account.... hope mrs grub dont check it this week....


going to invest another 300 on syd over 15.5 so I cant lose


AG bet....

$10,000 Collingwood +23.5 at $2 = $20,000
$1,600 on Sydney over 15.5 at $7 =$ 11,200

outlay $11,600.....

my result
coll win = $20,000
sydney 1-15 = $20,000
sydney 16 -23 = $31,200
sydney 24 or more = $11,200

At worst I can lose $400......

Centrebet would void the bets, Sportsbet havent in the past but can if they like

Remember the North Adelaide $3.90 v South 2 years ago and the Socceroos V Argentina $16.00 when it should have been $4.00?...both mistakes and they both stood

Both these threads are somewhere in here, might try and dig them up

im pretty sure sportsbet have cancelled mistakes as well in the past.

personally i don't think they should be allowed too it should just be tough luck for them making an error.

Gee thats smart punting, im jealous I didnt think of it. Basically risking $200 to win $6700 (maybe more with luck)

[Dutchy]

Brodlach - if you got the +23.5 you can still have a bet on Sydney for a very nice risk free result

absolutely correct

they put the prices up, they make a mistake then they should be held accountable

[another grub]

wonder how much they took in that short period..... one little mistake can be very costly.....

sydney can win by 65 points its sydney by 15 points or more

i know that, but if Sydney win by 24 points or more then the Collingwood bet loses, so he loses $200.... so he can lose, but not much

[mighty_tiger_79]

im guessing they took a fair hit

just from here alone they got hammered, wonder how many others were waiting for the line market to go up to find the VALUE

Here is the Soccer thread which amazingly stood, man that was a sweet night

Your right Dutchy, but I would have loaded up even more than I did.

[dodgingandweaving]

got the $2k on Coll +23.5 , im away from the desk so cant get on sportsbet. Where am i looking to for a saver? Sydney win outright?

[another grub]

Ahhh the great memories .... of another SA Footy sting..... I can remember my beers tasing so sweet that night dutchy


let the bet ride dodgey...Sydney tired and slow....

[giddyupp]

I remember sportsbet stuffed up the time of a greyhound race, had it starting 3 minutes after it raced, the winner payed 15 bucks so i put 100 on it. cleared and i got my money, wanted to put more on but thought they might get sus on it. was worried the next few days but nothing happened. they either didnt even know it happened or realized but thought it was there own mistake and bad luck.
