[@andreasapelqvist9247]

Yeah I agree with you, it should stand, shouldnt matter if the gambler or the company made a mistake.

[@strawmanuk]

In that case a cashier could give whatever odds they wanted to someone and they then all stand

[@FlawlessLearning]

@@strawmanuk Yes, but that would then mean the cashier has committed theft. For example, I used to work at a retail store, and a colleague "accidentally" handed out significantly more change than required. They were fired. If an employee was to give out ridiculous odds, without following their own company rules and policies, I.E. Calling head office and asking for their permission, like they have done in this case, then they could be liable for theft. If the bet and odds are agreed, and accepted by both parties with signed approval from both sides, the bet should stand. The employee is hired and in a position to represent the company, by the company. Therefore, the company should be liable for any actions committed by the employee. If the employee has committed any offences, such as, taking company property, giving away company properties, or as you've suggested, giving out outrageous odds, then the company of course all without approval, then the company can of course investigate, and potentially charge that employee for theft. However with this case, the cashier had phoned and contacted their higher-ups and had gotten the green light to go ahead. So therefore, the bet should stand. This is clearly a tactic used by betting companies to prevent them from paying out big winnings. I do understand that sometimes mistakes happen and miscommunications occur. In that case the company should be working out methods to prevent this from occurring. Otherwise, this "Palpable error" rule can be abused. Imagine going to a casino, winning a 36/1 bet on the roulette table, then to have the floor manager come over and tell you, "Sorry, that dealer isn't supposed to be handling that table, as they are still in training, therefore that round is void." And for that to be ALLOWED, this is a similar situation this is in now. Betting companies do need to be protected for fraud and theft, but so do people who place the bets, to have their bets actually honoured.

[@learntooilpaint]

@@FlawlessLearning well casinos do do this kind of thing. I get your point however

[@frankspencer6935]

The bookies shouldn't take bets like that if there is any chance of getting the wrong odds. A machine should verify the odds and payout, like in the US a machine pays out the tote bets at the track.

The answer would normally be "yes", So then pay out based on the information that was believed to be the truth at the time.

£1000 return means he got odds of 10.0. Cube root of 10 is odds of just 2.15 for a team to score 3 goals. The current odds for Brazil against Switzerland is 3.25. Very much seems like he got shafted on the recalculation as-well. They need an independent body to recalculate any 'Palpable' errors. And as a gesture of good will, they could split the difference or something.

[@MrMichaeljhinde]

I'd guess they were each probably closer to Netherlands to score 3+ vs Qatar (around 2.0) so the 12.16 odds at an average of 2.3 (13/10) each result does sound fair. You'd assume he was smart enough to recognise that which is why he stated he staked much more than he ordinarily would and so likely had some awareness that he'd stumbled across a palp and sought to exploit it. That said, with ones like this that are checked manually by both shop and head office staff it should (IMO) be for the bookies to take it on the chin and pay out - ban the fella from future bets if you think he's pulling some sort of blag. Certainly a big difference from something like a printing error on a betting slip which could easily be something punters bet on without any employee spotting the issue, for which the palp rules seem more reasonable.

[@user-he2ou2ex2f]

Tbh he probably didn’t get shafted anymore then you normally would from a 3 selection Acca. France to score 3 against Belarus would be shorter then evens. Argentina around 6/5 against Paraguay and wales were nowhere near the level they have been the last 5 years. On top of that you get more goals in qualifying then you do in tournaments which will factor into the price. All in all I don’t think the recalculated fee is necessarily a rip off in terms of the odds you’d expect a bookie to offer.

[@theprophet9429]

This is a great channel for those who know little, or nothing, about the game. This is a non story for those in the game. If a horse 33/1 and the cashier incorrect puts 3/1, and it wins, you do all realise that the punter is paid out at 33/1 and NOT the mistake? There are many, many more worthy things to bring up on the current state of “bookmaking”.

[@pottersmiles7238]

Because bookies in UK don't have to honour bets under UK law. If they don't honour any winning bets they wouldn't have any customers left, so they look for ways to justify not paying large winning bets. If a uk customer gambles on a UK bookies website and wins more than the bookies are happy with their account is limited for future bets or completely shut down. If the punter opens a new account it will also be closed down when they try to place their first bet. The computer system produces a league table of all the customer accounts. The accounts at the bottom are those that lose the most money making them the bookies best and favourite customers. The accounts at the top are the biggest winners and they are bad for business in the eyes of the bookies because if someone wins big they are likely to withdraw and spend the money on real estate holidays and fancy cars. The UK bookies aren't the best caterers for the rich who gamble large sums like bookies in America. The UK rich tend to gamble with offshore bookies. Hope this helps

Technically the guys bet was a loser, his bet was over 3 goals which means each game has to have 4 goals and one game ended up with only 3. for the bet he actually wanted it would have been written as over 2.5 goals and i can guarantee you he wouldn't have got anywhere near 9 grand for that bet. So he's lucky he even got the 1200 that he did.

[@jefferysweaty6028]

You're wrong, the bet was for each team to score 3 goals or more. All teams scored 3 goals or more. I think in the video there is a visual mistake but in all of the articles about this, the bet was team goals 3 or more. You are thinking of over/unders market on match goals rather than team goals.

That movie where a banker was taken to hell for refusing a gypsy a loan needs a part two. The bookies. And it will be satisfying.

[@SpinningBirdFlip]

If they stole 9k from me I'd burn the place down

[@JohnSmith-qm6xx]

THE ANSWER IS? DO NOT BET WITH CORAL!!

[@JoeH..]

They claimed that the odds were for 4 goals and not 3 right? If so, The 4th root of 90 cubed should give the corrected odds. Which should come out to near 30/1. Underpayment of such should be grounds for fraudulent misconduct and false advertising.

It shouldn't be allowed there getting away with daylight robbery something should be done about it

Wow by the end of the video I was walking around my house saying: “BULLSHIT THATS BULLSHIT” they done him out of £8000!! I seriously would take them to court if I was oshane and I think he would get support from the public because we are fucking sick of this corruption! Even when your luck is in it’s not!! Ridiculous!!!

[@RobM199]

The guy was unemployed but staked £150 on a three fold. I'm not saying he's not been screwed here, but he's also not being entirely truthful.

[@paulbaldock6313]

They are just like a casino, very happy to take your money and watch you lose and lose and lose but if you start winning or are lucky enough to have a bet like this chaps they absolutely hate it. Nothing but dishonourable to sat the least. I’m not sure if there is any honesty with any of these company’s to be honest.

[@ringtonray1507]

The bookies would Be burnt down if that happened in my area

Never bet with corals.

[@andcch4717]

Why do people not go to the gambling commission with these issues?

[@stephenm8898]

You could use numbers on accumulator using the same ones every week then they come up but you've mistakenly put 8 instead of 9 for the first time in ten years. An obvious *palpable error* but guaranteed they wouldn't accept it

[@RIPSIRJIMMYSAVILLE]

How could they know you and your previous bets for years even online they dont go back that far

[@magicroundabout5081]

Coral online casino made me jump through loads of hoops over a 3 week period over a withdrawal of winnings, and it wasn't that much. I was told that they could withhold winnngs at any time. 'Security' or my 'safety' or some other term is used unfairly and inapropriately. Trust Pilot tells of many unhappy punters.

[@NathanHeaver]

should you get it signed from Coral CEO for the bet to considered valid then?

[@lancethrust9488]

CORAL NOW ON MY BLACK LIST

I worked for a bookie no joke I would of knew the price wasn’t 90,1

[@minutemanual]

Great vids mate. Moving forward I'd love you to keep going with the format of informing users that betting is objectively against the better to educate people. You could do a genuine unbelievable social service for the country. There has to be a revolution on how gambling works. It needs to be emphasized that winning money isnt something that is possible in the long run when gambling. Most people dont realise this as its too ambiguous with sports betting. In the end its no different than hammering roulette spins. Sports betting usually has worse return than that. I'm sure your gambling content does well considering your history but there is a crossroads where demonstrating your talent will inspire others to think they can do the same with less knowledge in the field... the inverse is you can use your knowledge to inform people just how wrong they are with the rabbit hole that is gambling. I trust you know what the right answer is. Perhaps you can make the best of both worlds, demonstrate loopholes and interesting sides of sports betting but then slamming down the reality of it in the latter half of the video. Keep it up regardless.

[@georgebuller1914]

IMHO, as this bet was checked SEVERAL times, then to say that it was the clerk's mistake is a pile of the brown stuff! Easy answer - stop using bookies - full-stop! If enough of us did so, they would HAVE to change their tune!

[@ohgin12345]

You always have this idea that it really matters

[@FamousAnonymous888]

You forgot one thing, we are talking about gamblers placing bets. Do you think gamblers would listen? This comes down to the governing body and the country. Some country has good legalized betting shops that would honor every bet placed. Unfortunately UK just isn’t one of the good country.

[@CaanBerryProTrader]

Regulator needs to be stepping in, IMO.

[@georgebuller1914]

@@CaanBerryProTrader We need to ensure that the regulator is unbiased though, don't we! ;-)

The gambling industry needs the regulations reviewed, it seems they’re running riot a little like the banking industry did for many years until they were properly regulated

Oh, it's not the first time ! So, why the FU#K people keep betting there ???

What were the odds on the actual treble 20/1?

[@gutz323]

That is bullshit and disgusting! It isn't even a lot of money really, considering they are a large chain of bookmakers profiting millions of pounds a year.

[@stephenowens5375]

One shady business on the same level as loan sharks and politicians. Glad I gave up gambling decades ago.

[@mauricemacken9713]

I worked for Coral for 11 years and this wouldn’t happen now. SSBT’s make sure that these kinds of things can’t happen. I wouldn’t have took that bet as it’s a nightmare to translate and settle where as the SSBT would do it without having to sign slips or call head office. The palpable error rule is a shitty thing to do regardless and when the bet was placed the tech was in its infancy. Still gotta feel sorry for the guy though and the staff member who lay the bet will obviously have been made out to blame. There’s a very high profile case that I saw with my own eyes involving slips worth hundreds of thousands of pounds that are crazy. If the person involved went to the media it would be a scandal and Coral were afraid of the negative pr.
