Betfred have just lost a court case against a punter who won 1.7 million on blackjack and Betfred said there was a glich and refused to pay up they did offer him £60,000 to go quietly however the punter refused to give up and after 3.5 yrs Betfred have paid 1.7 million plus interst to him........What a disgrace and its not the only bookmaker refusing to pay in 2009 I had a treble with Seathestars to win the 2000 guineas and the derby I won along side another race that id won........Sea the Stars won both races and 888 sent me an email asking me to contact them .......Id won £5,500 but 888 called me and said Id had an illegal bet.as you cant back the same horse twice.......I told them Id become aware of that after you took the bet antepost and if it was illegal they shouldnt of allowed me to place the bet......the cockney wideboy on the other end said ok well call the bet off Wel refund your stake and take us to court......on the other hand we will pay you £2,750 and move on .I accepted there offer but felt I had no choice Ive since banned 888 and I will ban Betfred too I know there must be many stories of these crooked bookies Id like to hear of them

I dont think Hailceaser not betting with 888 will have much of an effect

Totally agree it wont have as effect atall but the point of the thread was to expose some of these companies to others who may think that all companies always stick by and value all there punters..they dont...The more people who see that story of betfred maybe just maybe some punters may think twice about joining them..but I also think there should be an ombudsman to go to when these unscrupulous practices occur.......its all very well saying a firm of solicitors can take the case on but generally speaking with sums under 20,000 its unlikely any firm of solicitors would be remotely interested..and as 888 said to me if I was a big fish like JP McManus things might be different but Im just a small fish in a big pool so it might be wise to take what were offering...its also interesting to see that currently 54 people have seen this thread and 1 person commented...as a forum those figures arent good
Punters being ripped off is rife these things happen daily but only 1 person on here has added to this debate
