When I was about 18 my gaffer went to Haydock Park, I gave him £1 (along with three other colleagues) to put on a horse called Priestcroft Boy which won at 13/2. To put it in perspective I was earning around £30 a week at the time so the winnings were a quarter of my wage. The gaffer (an Accountant), rang after the race to say he had gone to the races on the wrong day and had gone home without putting the bet on. We were all gutted and never trusted that bloke again, I’m sure he just trousered the winnings, twas a twats trick, I hope your mate hasn’t done the same.Not quite a cash out bet, but there's 4 of us that pick a team each weekend both teams to score and win and this weekend the guy who's turn it was to put the bet on put the wrong team to win (Rochdale instead of Doncaster) and it cost us £2600. Worst part was he knew he put it on wrong and "seen it as a sign".
Safe to say he wont be involved again.
it’s sometimes better to hedge than cash out especially when awaiting one result. It can mean laying out a lot more than the original stake but if it’s guaranteed it’s no problem. It’s always better value than the cash out.
Don’t do this though
