BE CAREFUL of WSB in running betting!!!!!!!

Ever taken a bet in-running at WSB and thought you won but only to look at your ticket to see that you went "over" instead of "under" and you wonder how!!!!!
It is something I brought up numerous times with WSB owners/management over there years and eventually gave up so I thought I would just warn the punters.
Eg. in a rugby game the points will be over and unders and they put the markets above each other, eg over 45pts at top and under 45pts at bottom, but when there is a quick change in points, the markets get switched for a while with unders at the top and overs at the bottom.

I think this is unfair on the punter.

So punters be careful, you know we always wrong and always get the bad end of the deal!!!!

AND dare anyone say I am seeing thinks then I am prepared to wager on it :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

With "In Running" betting time is of the essence and one does not have the luxury of taking your time when placing a bet so the switching around of the betting in mid stream can only serve to confuse the punter, ridiculous at best ,surely its a no brainer, Overs on Top and Unders below????
Simple....
unless there is an underlying and more sinister reason...

One thing I have noticed with WSB is quickly shortening a horse once announced on TT that it has been scratched. On Saturday I noticed them shortening Miss Kalifa from 24/10 to 2/1 after it was called. That changes the deduction from 30 to 35%.

Check that it is correct before you press submit bet. At the end of the day you are taking the bet that you pressed submit. I have had that with interbet before.

Is there no organisation that oversees these gambling companies?

That is so unfair they should never be allowed to do that.

Thank you for finding that out. I was sure when the scratching was announced it was still showing 24/10 on the scrolling. Maybe there is a delay between them and tellytrack.

Saw the same months ago, had a mate visit at Xmas and pointed out the same thing to him.

Recorded the race at home. When I get back will check.

would be wary of taking any bets with these blokes

2 (?3) years ago they reneged on paying a draw bet in cricket - some gobbledygook explanation.

awaiting gauteng gambling board (paul pot) to "revert to me" after the complaint -after 2 years nothing!
my grandson also told me about shortening of odds AFTER announcement of scratching on tt, have since checked them and it definitely happens - also creative deductions - why are deductions not announced anymore on tt?
