[Odds question]

Hello!

I’m new here and have a brief question. I’m not a big gambler and rarely go to the bookies, but did yesterday.

I put a bet on a horse a few minutes before the race started. The price when I was filling out the slip was 9/2. I filled out the time, course, horses name and odds at 9/2. The bookie (Paddy Power) took the bet and gave me a copy of the slip. 

I left the shop to get some lunch and when I returned was pleased to see the horse had won. I went to collect and was told how much I could collect. I queried it as it seemed lower than I expected. The lady said the horse won at 4/1.

I took back the slip and said I would query it with management as she was being quite rude and aggressive and saying that I have to accept 4/1 because at the time I placed the bet that was what they were offering. She refused to accept any fault for her colleague not correcting the odds.

Whats the position? Any advice, please?

Cheers!!

Andrew.
