Odds mistake on coupon

    I picked up a European football coupon in PaddyPower this week. I was enthused when I saw 8 Homes had guaranteed odds of 20/1 according to the coupon. I was further encouraged when I found 8 teams that were heavily odds on. I should have known it was too good to be true to be honest. Only this evening after doing the bet this morning did I put the 8 teams into a betting calculator and it works out at 7/1. What happens here? Like I said it has "Guaranteed odds of 20/1" but it also has the disclaimer "all prices are indicative and subject to fluctuation". I found another coupon with the exact same matches that had "Guranteed odds of 5/1" instead of the 20 so somebody made a mistake somewhere.

    Haven't been in a bookies in ages but usually it's "pick one from each box" to guarantee 20/1 or whatever. I stand to be corrected on this though but that's what it was to my memory. There was usually a heap of short priced teams in the 1st box and the odds gradually got larger per box
