Lance Michael - you got to read this

Last night Lance Michael put up PE betting.

He went 33/10 Greeff race 1. Betxchange had 2/1
He went 28/10 Paddock race 2. Betxchange were 2/1
He went 13/10 Oriental Tiger. Betxchange shortened from evens to 8/10

You would all surely agree that these prices are within ballpark range.

My mate took 2000 of all the wins which he was limited to and also the doubles.

Today Lance Michael cancelled all bets saying the prices were in error ?

What error ?

My mate is on the phone to the Gambling Board now.

What a disgrace ! Mr Big himself !

Surely not? looks like they have just been caught with the knickers at their ankles?

Just another one of the pathetic, spineless gamblers who call themselves bookmakers , you can add them to the growing list which includes Betxchange, WSB, Sportingbet and the worst of them all bet.co.za

We have discussed this before....................this would only be equitable if punters could also cancel bets on horses that drift .............................it could be argued that every bet layed on any winner was a mistake!!! :evil:

At this stage I think your mate is wanting all of those bets cancelled.

But I do agree that if you are one to price up early don't turn around and say the prices were incorrect and try void them.

I have stolen error prices many times, these prices above are not typos they are a bookie making an error of judgement and imo should be honoured..

When i notice what bookies call "palpable errors" i expect to get my stakes returned sometimes

these above imo are NOT errors

Guys seriously rather do sports betting.. I really don't understand why the Sportsbetting section on this site is not much bigger than it is.. I have followed guys there Bob Greggo and others much much better than horses

Don't kid yourself.Have a few winning bets on sport and these guys will cut your limits too.

The whole system needs overhauling.It happens in other jurisdictions too though.

The reality is punters are not entitled to win over the long term.Only losers are acceptable.

This happened to a friend of mine in the past. LM called him himself,and blamed it on his 'apprentice' who had made the errors.

Same story this time?

And the solution to nearly every "bookie" problem is an exchange ........so why did the gambling board so easily accept their objections?
a)the layer lays what he wants at the price he wants -the punter gets genuine market related prices and remains anonymous so can't be "victimized"
b)no credit so promotes more responsible gambling.
c)layers don't need millions to become "thieves"....lol
Bookmakers will be limited to multiples and credit bets

Just before we get carried away


Lance Michael just been in touch saying thse bets were never cancelled and were honoured .

They say that the the customer phoned lastnight after he had some disagreement over Limits ( they say his account was limited from last year they admit that) and there must have been some mis understanding and he started threatening them with the gambling board as stated above.

They say at no point was the bets cancelled.

This is actually quite serious Limits are shite we know that but saying the bets were not honoured is like saying someone stole from someone imo and can harm a companies reputation limited account or not..

Well if the bets weren't cancelled surely the right thing to do is to bin the thread?
