    Yeah but it should be negative the whole amount. I used to work in PayPal and any pending withdrawl you could stop within 24 hours for fraud reasons. Not sure what system PP use but suspect it's similar.
    Yeah that's what I find strange. The first half bet has been resettled, leaving me with a negative balance, but the second half winnings haven't been touched......... yet.

    Would closing my account make any difference?

    Cause you see a price you like, you bet on it and win you should be paid
    I bet if I had lost I wouldn't have got my money back

    I mean what's simple for me to see is that they made a genuine error and a few people tried to take advantage of it. They have themselves covered for this type of event which happens pretty often and so act accordingly.

    They will only do this when odds are so obviously far out that its an obvious error.

    Again, the part that really bugs me is that they're probably pulling the odds they're giving out of their arses.

    Fair enough, we all knew 30/1 (and higher) wasn't normal, but why should they now be allowed to just say "actually, we're now changing it to 1/10", or some schitt like that.

    Well I know why... because their ToS is so vague that it covers pretty much anything.

    Still feeling this was a mistake that THEY made and they should face the consequences.

    I withdrew the 80 i had won off the palace bet, After that i got 100 off another accum, They've just taken the 80 out of that 100 so i'd say whoever withdrew to their bank account/paypal is well in the clear by now :)

    No matter what happens everyone who placed the bet should get a free bet matched to their stake because the bet WON. Palace actually did beat the +2 handicap (even if it should have been -2), mistake or no mistake!

    Just to clarify, does having a negative account mean they can't access the money I withdrew? In which case, can they ask for it back?

    For what this info is worth, I still have my winnings lying in my Paddy Power balance, which is the easiest place for them to take it from. Strange how they haven't hit me yet.

    I withdrew my winnings straight away €1025.

    My acc is now 999.25 quid negative.

    Just went to put €5ew on a horse for the laugh and min deposit to place the bet is €1009.25.

    So I reckon I'm home and hosed, they cant touch it, just never use them again.

    Yup. If they could have they would have canceled the withdrawl and put the money back into their account.

    Your account going negative that fast to me seems like they have lost the funds.

    What I think they will do is send an email requesting you pay back etc etc. If you don't they will send your details off to a collection agency who will annoy ye for awhile with phone calls and letters. Usually takes 45 days before they pass off your details.

    Just tell the agency to F off.

    yeah im guessing that would be the case and would be bad form from the bookie but im sure you could kick up a fuss. Again though, they will always cover themselves in their T and C for things like this, they simply have to be able to!

    Do what crap exactly?

    I honestly can't see what PP have done that's wrong apart from a typo?

    Made 2 bets of €5 each
    One of them has been adjusted so i have now €-177 in my account.

    Good luck getting that from me.

    Point is that they had at least 45 minutes to see their mistake and void the bets
    If Crawley had managed to win 3-0 i could have kissed my stakes goodbye because no way in hell they would have voided those bets if they had turned out to be winners for PP.
