Fader Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 four picks for me in this event. It's not an event I normally get too involved with because we have little idea about who really practices still etc etc so here we go. 3 from top, 1 from bottom of draw 2pts Thornton to win Seniors 13/2 paddypower ----------------------------------------------------- 1pt e/w K.Painter to win Seniors 12/1 paddypower 1pt e/w R.Howson to win Seniors 14/1 paddypower ----------------------------------------------------- 0.5pts e/w M.Dudbridge to win Seniors 33/1 bet365 daveg, vikki37, kroni and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveg Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Difficult to be too confident about picking a winner here, but I’m going to stick a few pennies on Scott Mitchell. He only dropped off the main PDC Tour at the end of last year, and his stats suggest he was a bit unlucky to lose his tour card. Across 28 tournaments on the floor he averaged just over 92, with a first nine average of just under 100. Although he just missed out on regaining his tour card through Q school, he should be a class above most of this field. 1pt on Scott Mitchell @ 5/1 (General) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd round match between Mitchell and Thornton could be key in this event. I thought about Scottie but Thornton had the better odds and generally plays at a decent level, still. Good luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroni Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 no its online, i've been on the live chat with them but didn't get anywhere, now they're just ignoring me, its only a few quid but thats not the point, they accepted my e-w bet but only pay the winner???

Fader Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 What does it say on your settled bet? Ew or single? If it says ew I'm sure you could take that further somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroni Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 didn't get the price you had as i missed the first day but they were clearly offering each-way, Ladcrooks must of been the best price at that point thats why i chose them, actually got 17/2 on Thornton with a boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming that your unit stake and total stake are the same rather than the total being double which would suggest an each way bet. From looking at my bet history, if you’d chosen each way it would show the terms (fraction and places) where it just says “To Win”. I think you’ll have to take this on the chin as an error when you placed the bet unfortunately. kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroni Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 @harry_rag my unit stake is half the total stake so i 100% placed an each-way bet, but i think you're correct about the "To Win" bit, there should be some place terms there, its deffo error on their part offering e-w on a win only market though, have keep an eye on it in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one to be wary of. kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 yeah, if it's a single bet then why would they take 2x bet as if it was an e/w bet. that's very odd. kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I think I've seen this before with them, maybe when I tried to place an e/w bet but didn't bother as there were no place terms showing. It's as if they've decided to withdraw e/w betting (e.g. after a few rounds have been completed) but left the tick box there. So if you tick e/w it doubles your stake as usual but there are no place terms on offer (hence "to win"). It's a weird scenario to possibly arise. There are a few things you could argue (if you can be arsed): They should pay out on the place return (dodgy ground assuming no place terms were quoted and the bet states "to win" but they did take double stake) They should void the non-existent place bet and return half your stake (probably the fairest outcome) They void the whole bet as you wouldn't have placed it on a win only basis I guess I'd argue they should either pay the place part as they let you choose the e/w option (but what would the terms be!) or refund half the total stake. Their counter could be they would have paid the win to the full stake but who'd choose to stake a simple win bet in such a convoluted way! kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Yeah, very least you should have a void on the place. Big company like that, they should really do more for punters in scenarios like that. kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroni Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 couldn't be bothered to argue with them further, just round in circles i say its an each way bet, they say the market is win only and my bet ID was settled as win only market. just have to remember that for future. harry_rag and Fader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torque Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Try this @kroni resolver.co.uk Assuming you're in the right and can prove it, it'll take about a year for the bookie to be forced to make right. I speak from experience btw, as I've been through the process. I could have left it and not bothered with all the hassle, but it was obvious to me what was going on and I wasn't going to stand for it. They knew they were in the wrong, but they were hoping I would just go along with what they were saying and settle. It made me wonder just how many others get stiffed because they don't want the bother, but the trouble with that attitude is the more the bookies get away with that sort of sharp practice, the more brazen they become. kroni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
