Hollywood Bets - Advice Needed!

Tigershark wrote: Mr H you are correct but the responsibility shifts to HWB when they accept the bet not when they offer it.

The shop that advertises the TV at the incorrect price will/should rectify at the till or before the deal is concluded and they would have every right to however once the item has been paid for and leaves your store is another matter all together.

An advert or price is an invitation to do business, once concluded, i.e. paid for and accepted the contract is considered concluded.

I am not saying that this was not a mistake but that the liability cannot be AJ's 100%

HollyWood's site often crashes, hangs, deposits don't go through.....do you think they ever go back and pay punters on bets that would have won? seriously.....

You speak as if all the punters are friends with the owner.... if they are constantly making mistakes and you are highlighting them then Owen would do very well by hiring you.

Two wrongs don't make a right but HWB's mistake does not make AJ wrong.....and not to attempt to compromise is just bad form.

tiger the errors have been by many companies not just hwood plus every online site crashes not just hwood hence me repeating myself ad nauseam to have several plus to get the best prices on offer ..owen doesnt need me he runs the most successful bookmaking group in africa plus you only hear of bets not going on that have arrived but never the ones that dont ...which other firm refund your stake when your horse loses on objections or pays out on both when the stipes fucked up with the azzie ferraris incident or give you 9k a year in credit when you deposit on the 3 big days a year?

Tigershark wrote: Mr H, i agree with you but the bet should have been cancelled immediately, the error occurred at the time of striking the bet. The problem arises when you then show the punter that it was a winning bet that would confirm that the bet was taken at the accepted odds.

Don't get me wrong, i am not saying that anyone could not see the odds were wrong but HW had two to three bites at the cake before correcting and to offer no compensation is just poor form. Some would even go so far as to say that reaching a compromise would have gone a long way to encourage customers to support HW....... they are innovative so why not offer a R1 000 betting voucher to the first punter that picks up a mistake? (Pirates could retire)

Yes we made a mistake with the odds, yes we accepted your bet, yes we showed you were a winner........ Nah, we were just joking :woohoo:

if it was my business and a customer tried his luck by taking a price 100 times bigger than the actual price i would close his account ..let me tell you something for nothing tiger many times since the inception of online betting iv seen blatant typo errors and have informed the bookmaking firm about it ..but maybe thats just me and im an idiot
