    As PP go chasing, interesting to see that Christmas has come early for them from the land of Oz...

    Same. One of my bets was negatived about 50 minutes ago, the rest haven't been touched.

    EDIT: The big one has been negatived now.

    just say ur account is negative and after 3-5 days or so you get you money in the bank....

    deposit it back in and place it on something 1/100 or something would that fix the account??? knowing them they would try something ;)

    This is what I'll be using against him in court. :D

    In this case, the "feckin' eejit" was his staff, not us. The eejit should take responsibility, not us!

    If you're in the negative, and you deposit the money back, you'll go from negative to 0, so wont have anything to bet with,

    Alright, I'm off. I have an economics repeat tomorrow.... I wonder will this be on it :pac:

    Most of my "winnings" have been negatived, so I'm assuming that money is mine? Just a matter of keeping your mouth shut now is it, what's yours is yours?

    They need to be careful to distinguish between legit bets and our bets!!
    Can see some bad press coming paddys way.

    Or you could read the T&C of sites before you use them? Crazy idea I know. :rolleyes:

    I know the terms and conditions well but as a gesture to their customers they should take some liability for their mistake.

    At what point can they declare that they made an error? Take for example Paddy Power were offering evens for over 2.5 goals in a game whereas other sites were only offering 1/2. If over 2.5 goals wins easily can Paddy turn around and say oh sorry not paying you at that price as we made msitake pricing it up??

    Take on the other hand if you were trading bets on the game and you wanted to get on Crawley to win this game -2 but Paddy only had this priced @ 1/25 offering you no value and chance to trade out of a position. Do you think they'd take responsibility for your losses??

    It may be in their T & C but it is a shambles of a way to run what is reputed to be one of the best companies in Ireland.

    It's not a shambles, and it's in the T&C of every bookies. It pretty obvious at what point they can declare an error in offering Palace + 1 at odds of 30/1 and more.

    Is the general census that if your account in PP was put into a negative figure, you will have got away with the dosh?

    Just forget the account and move to Ladbrokes or Bet365 (or go to PP in store)

    You won't see any of the money from those if they win. Any with a negative balance won't.

    And with 3 mighty blows in the space of 30 minutes, my PP account drops from €899 to €29.87.

    €29 on Palace +2 won me 0.87, a figure I'm sure they just pulled out of their arse in panic.

    Should I bother complaining in Live Help?

    In fairness the price on Palace +2 wouldn't be better than 1/16 at least.

    Oh, there goes my 2nd bet.

    Negative balance of £73

    Last bet is worth £101, no doubt it will be going soon enough.

    Oh I don't doubt the odds would have been crap. My gripe is that these odds probably have been generated post-match, which just seems ridiculous.

    I'm not expecting to ever see that €899 again, but I should get something, surely?

    To beat the dead horse one more time... this was their mistake, not ours.

    Yes it's obvious it was an error in this case but what's the cut off for them declaring that they made an error and just didn't make a wrong call themselves.

    Had they been offering 1/25 instead of 1/50 to try and entice more punters into something can they declare it as an error if they lose??

    There is a grey area in the terms and conditions and they use it to suit themselves.
