1st Goal an OG, where does the money go?

Reginald P. DuM

Do Rooney bets get paid? He hit the second and the first was an own goal.. My local bookie (non chain) refuses to pay out. What's the bang?

Bookie wins, you lose

Hardly a surprise Phat, the bookies come up trumps and smelling of manure. Thanks for settling it, I may burn the docket.

A "Rooney to score first goal bet" is a winning bet. Own goals don't count in this market. This is the standard across the industry so I don't see why you were refused. Go and get paid Reginald

The plot thickens. A buddy swears that Rooney bets are good, which is why I started the thread.. Bookie was having none of it however.

Have a look at their Terms and Conditions for the 'First scorer' bet.

I looked at Ladbrokes (my brother put a Ronney for first scorer with them) and they say own goals do NOT count.

T&C's are all very well for a large bookmaker, but in this case I was talking to the boss man and he said nah..

Name and shame the bookie involved. Sounds like you got ripped off to me.

I think betting shops are obliged to have a set of betting rules on display in their shops regardless of how big or small they are. Explain to him that he's being the exception to the rule as the majority don't count own goals. The term "welching bookie" springs to mind.

Unless he had odds for the 1st goal to be an own goal then rooney is the 1st goal winner.

stanleys used to have odds for an owngoal and l think bet365 do but 99%
dont own count own goals.

the old rule of if u cant win u cant lose.
if he didnt have odds up for it no onecould win.

which bookies was it OP?

lads this is a no brainer,when was the last time you say a price for first goal to be an o.g
the answer is never

i often do 0-0 in matches,make sure if you're doing the same always put no goalscorer on the docket,don't write the correct score
i remember a couple of years ago(when i used to do big bets b4 kids etc)i did no goal on a Gunners match
flucked the docket n the bin when i saw 1-0,the following week i found out it was o'g,went in to shop,wrote out docket,happy days

I won't name him now. I will go see him again tomorrow and report back to let ye know.. Maybe I will be more keen to name him then!

If he doesn't pay up then definately come back here. I want to recommend to people to avoid the place and I want to make his shop the number one stop for any massive movers i want to back.

Agreed.

Billybetts

Yes the Rooney bet definetly clicked

I had a stroke of good fortune myself with it- I reckon Nani should of got that goal given to him

I tipped it up on my blog

+1 along with all the others on here who have agreed.
I'd go in and see what he has for tonight's match, if he has o.g. quoted, then you may have a problem, if he doesn't, he has a problem.
You can namd and shame on here, you can also go to John Martin in the Star on a Saturday and he will at least contact the bookie concerned and his reasons for not paying.

Gillington

Yeah definitely name and shame if you dont get paid,there are a few different chains of bookies where I live and I'm pretty sure everyone pays out.I got FGS on Adebayor against Chelsea after he;d scored an og,that was Ladbrokes and I know 3of the others paid out.

Reginald P. DuM

No need for naming and shaming, we have reached a satisfactory conclusion. He paid out, bet wins.

dermotr06

well i got paid out rooney to score first n united win 3-1 at 80-1 odds in a small bookies the rule is they all pay out.

Completely OT but I can't see why. It was a clear cut og. The ball was'nt going in if Almunia had.nt put it in.

Not true!

I backed Rooney with one of the big firms and got paid and the local bookies I work in pay out in this situation aswell....

Maybe it means if rooney scores an own goal it doesn't count

I wonder would it worth chancing going in with your docket if M Owen
got the 1st goal.
A blonde cashier could be persuaded that own goals mean owen goals.:D
