Oooops !


Recommended Posts

I had a free afternoon so decided to have an all day bender in front of the computer. Gambling is one of my vices , but luckily my current job sees me starting work at 12pm meaning I cannot bet on the horses unless I bet before I start work. Being a recovering gambler ( unsuccesfully ) I try to keep my stakes to a minimum. Anyway during the course of the afternoon I backed a few winners and slowly increased my stakes. Whilst betting I was surfing the net and realised I only had a minute to bet on my next selection, I quickly brought up the card to bet £36 , but mistakenly bet £366. The bet lost , I was pi55ed off that it lost , but more pi55ed off at Ladbrokes for allowing me to bet beyond by balance. I had around £200 in my Ladbrokes sports balance which was all used up , the system took the rest from my Ladbrokes Poker balance this is bullsheet , Ladbrokes have in the last few weeks upgraded their system , this new feature is designed to benefit themselves not punters. I regularly transfer money over to my Ladbrokes poker account to prevent myself from going silly.Initially I was going to complain , but after a coffee I came to my senses and saw it it will not get me anywhere. I have mentioned this before on here , but many years ago when online betting came on the scene and the systems were very slow , I mistakenly bet a 4 figure sum instead of a 3 figure sum simply because the screen was a few seconds behind the keyboard , that time i was lucky but most times it will go against you. Punters be careful !
