Quick question about when loi odds go up

    ok lads, i think i might have made a big mess up.

    On monday i done a 50 treble i dont usually bet in shops but handed her a piece of paper with my bets wihich were st pats over 2.5, new zealand half time full time, and sami to get evicted from xfactor, it came to just under 10/1

    Im really worried now because i checked the odds for over 2.5 in the pats shelbourne game and it was 1.96 online, when i went there she said she couldnt find the odds for the game and had to ring up to find out, i wasnt really paying attention she said the odds were 5/6 so just pressumed the odds had gone down, i didnt question her and said thats fine. Now all the other bets came in, im starting to think she might have put me down for over 2.5 for the game on friday against derry which came in at under 2.5 not the shelbourne match which won, i dont have the betslip with me to check its at my parents.

    Really worried as its over 550 which is loads of money for me, and quite out of character for me to make such a big bet, im wondering if anyone knows when the odds for fridays matches come out? I cant see them up there now anyway, im gonna be mad nervous going with my betslip there 2moro :(

    Was the shelbourne game last monday?

    If so don't worry. It'd be assumed that it was for the next game.

    Hey thanks for the reply, yeah it was about 2 hrs before the shelbourne game i made the bet. Im not sure but i think the betslip only says st patricks over 2.5 5/6.
    Im worried because the woman behind the counter didnt seem to know what she was doing and spent about 5 mins looking up the odds for this paticular match before ringing up and giving me odds different to what i saw online.
    I should have questioned it but wasnt bothered with the hassle.
    Im just thinking if they dont have the odds for the loi games until after monday then she couldnt have put me down for the wrong bet.

    Mad nervous! :D

    As UrbanSea says it should be fine.
    One thing though it's a strange price (1.96) for over 2.5 goals, normally it would be 5/6. 4/5 etc not a price like somewhere between evens and 10/11?

    think thats 20/21 in fractional odds. Yeah i guess it should be alright just when theres that much money at risk you think the worst.

    They would automatically assume it was the Monday game because that's when you placed your bet.

    However, you wrote on your docket St Pats over 2.5?

    not St. Pats v Shelbourne over 2.5?

    If you just wrote St. Pats they will settle the bet as St. Pats total goals over 2.5, which is how it reads (despite the incorrect odds) and means your bet is a loss.

    Didn't even think of that Firsttimer

    Would the odds written not be the first choice for determining the selection?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 65 ✭✭buzztastic


    Jasus, some relief. They paid out. Im delighted.
    It only had st patricks over 2.5 5/6 on the bet slip along with the other two selections. Guys double check your bets and dont be a silly billy like me, i could hardly sleep last night worrying!
