    Ok so I've won a lot of money on a particular match last night where the odds where obviously wrong on the handicap. The seem to be reversed. The site offered 7/2 on 3.5 goals or more and 2/9 on less than 3.5 goals the match was 3 nil already at 50 mins.
    I took the gamble on more goals and it paid off handsomely. My question can the betting site take back what they have paid out.
    I've withdrawn my initial abet amount and plan going to atm to get the rest today over a couple of transactions. Thoughts??

    They can and may put your account in to a minus balance.

    If it's not a huge amount they might set it as a goodwill gesture.

    Long story short.

    PP ****ed up with the odds of A Crystal Palace game and was taken for 1000's
    Some people immediately withdrew their money and could keep it.
    People who left it in their account got an adjustment on the winning odds (35/1 i had at 1 point which should have been 1/35)

    Moral of the story. Withdraw immediately when you take advantage of such a mistake but be prepared to lose your account over it.

    The bookies legally don't even have to pay you out on a winning bet at any odds. On the flipside they can't chase you for debts. I'd withdraw straight away

    I managed to get over 2k out with the cash card before pp noticed.they rang me and have frozen the rest pending investigations. Not hopeful of getting much more but they can swing if they look for it back

    Jesus, I thought you were talking a few hundred or even a grand. I'm surprised your account wasn't instantly locked, especially if your friend was also on for big money which should have rang alarms on such a Mickey Mouse market
