ive sent an email to joe duffy and am going to try get on tomorro.

Jaysoose · 26-10-2011 02:05PM

Yay the duffer eats this stuff up..

In all seriousness though the pub staff are basically stealing from you and its a joke that they think they can and have a nice big laugh when they are incapable of managing an incredibly easy system.

I would go as far to say you were purposely ripped off here there were two of you left and they make a feckup? Sounds very dodgy.

Sent an email to the pub saying I wasnt going to visit the pub again on the back of this.

Hope it helps.

I think gambling debts are not legally recoverable, so unfortunately you might have a battle on your hands. Best of luck I hope you succeed.

If you are a local there, and are part of a darts group (usually lads up for a laugh), did you ever think that this could be a prank?

Just a possibility...

I think this could be the case because even if you and the other guy went out the pot should of been split between the 2 of you anyway not be put back into a new competition.

They said that they want to put it to a VOTE between everybody that had entered from the start. Feckin stupid idea!! I talked to a few lads who would be able to vote and they all said that although i am right and won the competition, they would all vote against me because they want a chance to win the money!!

Ask the people themselves what way they would vote if they were on your side of this scam.

Also, go down some busy night and out loud talking, kindly point out that you think that the draw was a sham at the bar.

Any update on this issue OP?

I'm just interested to hear how it ended up.

I for one won't darken the door of the place again having read this thread, and I hope alot more do the same.

These last man standing type competitions are designed to get punters into a pub on a repeat basis. The pub trade is a tough game at the moment.

If pubs don't have the common decency to acknowledge this loyalty, they don't deserve the custom.

They are also giving a bad name to other pubs who have the decency and cop-on to appreciate repeat business and honour their debts.

I'd definitely make a lot of noise if it was me . Especially if the barman who was the cause of all this was having a laugh about it. Keep a cool head tho ' ... you wont get anywhere losing the rag !

And as you say if your friends and family stop drinking there and having do's it will maybe make them think on .. hope it all works out for you.

ResearchWill · 01-11-2011 03:27PM

Well I think the law is with you and against you as pointed out gambling debts not enforceable in Ireland. Also gambling is illegal on a licensed premises. Tell pub you are going to object to the renewal of its license for allowing illegal gambling lol.

mackeire · 01-11-2011 04:09PM

Ok, the way that this ended up was....

I told them that I was going to go on Joe Duffy. Not sure if they believed me or not tho. I spoke to the people in Joe Duffy and was meant to be going on the radio. I ha also sent emails the FM104 phone show ad the daily star newspaper. I had intended to do as much damage to this pub as possible!!

Anyway, I put a message up on facebook with the pubs facebook page tagged in it (so they would see it) and said something along the lines of "whats the point in winning a competition in mcdonaghs if they wont pay out the €400 prize money". I said a bit more aswel in it. Loads of people wrote comments on it so the pub was getting lashed out of it. The pub the the next day got a friend of mine to ring me and offer me a deal to keep my mouth shut. Basically I was never going to get my winnings and they wanted to offer me €50 to shut up!!! I ended up getting €200 (which i took because I have bills to pay and needed the money to help pay them and I wasn't expecting any money).

I still feel very cheated by these cowboys and will never step foot in that pub again while they are running it!!

So I only got €200 but I think I have also wrecked their reputation a bit aswell!!

Also I found out it was a bit of a personal thing as the lad running it when he found out that they had me down for the wrong team said "f*uck him, he's only a w*nker".

Great, thats 200 euro back. Now lets get the other 200 back! No not settle until you have the other 200. They haven't a leg to stand on. From your comments, they are clearly acting the pr!ck with you and you need to do the same.

It's your money!!!

W123-80's · 01-11-2011 04:18PM

They were lucky you let them off at 200 euro.

I would have been inclined to shout until I had all €400.

I'll not bother with that place in future.

Not only have they robbed but called you a wanker to boot?

Spend the next seven days eating nothing but red meat and Bran flakes. Go down there on the busiest night of the week, get up on the pool table, strip naked and take a massive dump. Then start flinging it at the customers and staff.

"Right, here's your wanker" announce to the whole place before strutting out with your dignity firmly intact.

Or you could give the duffers another call.

votecounts · 01-11-2011 05:10PM

OP, you got robbed. If it were me, i'd avoid this pub like the plague and advise friends to do the same.
Name and shame the pub.

I'd still tell the story and make noise about it ... you have still been done for 200 and they have admitted you were in the right by paying up some of the money .. I wouldn't let it rest but then again maybe it's less hassle to accept the outcome so far. I won't go for a pint there if I'm ever 'round that neck of the woods !

UrbanSea · 02-11-2011 01:49PM

I was in Dalkey once,are they not rich folk down there?

Sounds like a civil matter rather than a criminal matter.

I'd go ape in the pub.

yep accidentally ripping the mat on the pool table would be a good way.

02-11-2011 03:33PM

Let's keep splattering their facebook page with comments about them refusing to pay out

Collie D · 05-11-2011 10:31AM

Did the 200 notes they gave you come out of the till or the Last Man Standing pot? If the latter, then they're effectively conning you and the lads in the new competition.

And I wouldn't take much heed of second hand info eg the barman calling you a w@nker

busyliving · 05-11-2011 10:34AM

If the pub is running these type of games, does it need a license to do so...

If you threaten legal action, it might scare them into paying up?
