thats a great way to make money lay bets & dont pay the winners

The game was the grand final EG V CD at aami staduim.
JOHN THIEFTON was betting on the first goal first quarter and at quarter time
there was a goaless quarter.
Sports bookies put up the field of players and odds and then have two more signs stipulating:
A: QUOTE OTHERS [quotes for players not listed on bookies display units]
b: NO GOALSCORER [ you can back no goalscorer in the quarter]
THIEFTON did not display the NO GOALSCORER sign and therefore should have been liable
to refund the punters money.
There were many irate punters who I personally calmed down and told them of thier rights.
This was just another level of incompetence showen by JOHN THIEFTON.
THIEFTON in the bookmaking fraternity is,
allegedly, a despised and disliked individual.
I just dont know what to call him, maybe a poll to adjudicate.
A...JOKETON
B...GERMTON
C...THIEFTON
d...THORNTON
