    Went into Boyles this evening and they had a Tea Time Special
    "Man Utd to win both halves v Stoke
    6/4 to Best Industry Price 2/1"

    Looked okay so had a bet.
    Arrived home 3 minutes later and looked up oddschecker to see how good an
    offer it was and discover Paddy Power were 21/10 :mad:.
    Okay I know it's a winner but have I a case to ask them to pay me at 21/10
    seeing as they advertised it as "Best Industry Price"?

    More than likely not, as the price was offered in the shop, and the odds you saw were online. You can complain to them and see if they'll pay the extra, but I'd doubt it.

    Even worse that special was only for max bet of €50 in Boyles.
    Decided not to do it for that reason :(.
    The PP online prices are available in their shops which is very handy if your stake is restricted online!
    Just make sure you don't go to the same shop every time ;)

    You'd have a hard case proving that PP had the price at the same times Boyles were going 2/1.

    Went to collect lunch time.
    Girl just looked at me blankly and I knew I was wasting my time when she first said "what's Win both halves mean, I've never heard of that bet before?"
    Decided not to bother spending my lunch hour trying to argue my case for the extra dosh, next time I'll just take a picture.
