Bookies - esp Corals - a Sunday morning rant.

[law74]

Yesterday at 12:52 I placed a score anytime bet on for any three and all 4 to score, Michu, Sterling, Carroll and Holt.
just before the Norwich arsenal game started I checked my bet only to see that they had voided the Michu part of my bet, one phone call to customer service and they admitted their mistake, so when Holt scored for Norwich I then expected the treble aspect of my bet to be settled.
Logged on this morning to see that they had Holt down as a losing bet. One phone call, one email and one online message and I thought that would ensure that the right outcome would be done with a minimum delay (this was at 9.07 this morning).
As it is not a hard thing to look at, and I wanted to have a flutter on todays games before going out, over 90 minutes later, the bet and their mistake still has not been rectified, so unless they have made a number of similar mistakes, I cannot understand the delay.

Ahh well, back to Paddy for next week.

Holt anytime 2/1 against Arsenal,although it came in they were a bit tight with that one!

Maybe, maybe not, I didnt think Arse would keep a clean sheet and Holt was by far the most likely Norwich player to score, though I think Hooligan will get a few in the near future, so will probably have him down next week, 2/1 to score at anytime is a pretty decent price for a centre forward, I had thought Sterling would have been more than 11/4 but glad I stuck him in.
