Bcareful of Bbet - they do not honour matched deposits, then demand you still turnover the money before you can close your account

thanks for your responses peeps.  i know this is a common thing but we need to warn people about the particularly bad ones - the punter hasnt had a voice for too long.  im gonna continue to blog the unethical ones until they act lawfully and reasonably

Wait until the Punters' Representative hears about this thread. He'll be all over it.

Sorry those odds will be too long for him JWH and he doesn't concern himself with the backwater country racing that Victoria is 

Make that 1962 . . I am older than I thought . .

Can't agree that 'same horse/ reduced quote' condition is a rort, in that it is always clearly pointed out . . It is not applied out of the blue . .

I think it has been the case 'for ever' and has certainly been enforced since Even Stevens gave doubles bookies a 'short-back-and-sides in 1963 . .

I am too lazy to look in search, but I'm sure that this very topic was given plenty of air, a couple of years back . .

another rule imposed by the Government

I don't think that 'the govt' has the power to tell bookies what prices to bet . .

Racing Doubles Same Horse Selection

Racing Doubles Same Horse Selection

A reduction may be applied to the price offered when the same horse is selected in both legs of a Racing Double. This reduction will generally apply when, in the view of TAB Sportsbet, the price in the second leg race will subsequently be reduced as a result of that horse winning the first leg.

Where this occurs, the price of the Racing Double will be reduced by a percentage based on the WIN price for your runner in the 2nd leg. The percentage deduction to be applied is shown in the table below.
 
Price Range   Percentage Reduction
of 2nd Leg
1.01 - 4.00   25
4.01 - 6.00   30
6.01 - 8.00   35
8.01 - 11.00   40
11.01 - 15.00   45
15.01 - 18.00   50
18.01 - 23.00   55
23.01 - 31.00   60
31.01 - 51.00   65
51.01 - 71.00   70
71.01 - 101.00   72.50
101.01 - 251.00   77.50
251.01 - 501.00   82.50


So, for example if you selected:
Makybe Diva - Caulfield Cup @ price of $10.00
Makybe Diva - Melbourne Cup @ price of $8.00

The deduction applied in the Melbourne Cup would be 35% giving an amended price of $5.20.

Thus your Racing Double Price = $10.00 x $5.20 = $52.00

The majority of Racing Doubles will not be affected by this situation. However if you do select the same horse to win both legs of a Racing Double:
Cash customers must check their tickets to confirm the amended price and if you are unhappy with the reduction, request the operator to cancel the bet.
Phone customers must listen carefully to the operator calling back your bet and if you are unhappy with the reduction, request the operator to cancel the bet.
Internet customers must check the Bet Confirmation slip prior to submitting the bet. Submitted bets cannot be cancelled.

found this ? not sure it helps

doesn't make it right.
I'm still yet to hear a logical reason

Whether it is right, wrong, or logical . . It is not a rort if you are aware of the conditions of the  agreement that you are freely entering into . .

A reduction may be applied to the price offered when the same horse is selected in both legs of a Racing Double. This reduction will generally apply when, in the view of TAB Sportsbet, the price in the second leg race will subsequently be reduced as a result of that horse winning the first leg.

Seems logical . . Particularly 'a la' C-C/ M-C situation . . Initiated by bookmakers . . endorsed by regulators . .

Over 2600/1  a 2/1 chance. Hes bigger than 2600/1 to win the challenge.

Its a clear error.

Not dissimilar to when a bank makes an error and puts money in your bank  account and reverses it when they realise there's an error.

Of course you are 'technically' right Anti but where's the customer service?

Instead of shitting on the bloke for 'your' mistake why didn't someone pick up the phone, talk to the bloke, explain the situation and turn it around into a positive by offering him some concessions like free bets etc which obviously won't cover his windfall but at least wouldn't leave the sour taste he obviously has now.

Something like that would have taken someone 15 mins to put to bed and it would have never made the 'news'
