    Crap odds on the football and they very rarely cover the games I wanna bet on.

    What games do you want to bet on? And do you ever request prices from them?

    it's usually South American games and the more obscure leagues but I have since switched to Bet365 and I'm much happier with their selection of games.
    Edit, I have asked but been refused prices several times.

    Same for me earlier.

    Generally, I've had very positive experiences with Paddy Power live help and have never had to wait long at all.

    Last couple of days has been different though for some reason.

    Deportivo Quito v Universidad De Chile - Total Goals U/O 2.5 Under 2.5 Double 4/5 100.00 0.00 Open Pending
    Jaguares De Chiapas v Santos Laguna - Total Goals U/O 2.5 Over 2.5 8/11 Won
    100 stake winnings 310
    im so ****ing livid that is suppose to be over on the chile match, im absolutely gutted

    boyles are ****ing sly *****. You know majoirty of bookies have either overs - unders or unders -overs. Well boyles have the lowest odds first and the highest 2nd or visa versa.

    I know I should beable to read but if your sleepy, its ****ing dodgy tbh
    Like i added the mexican game to the slip and that was at the start of the page and I just went down to the chile game thinking 4/5 sounds about right for overs

    man im ****ing livid with myself to make a rookie mistake like this

    Hey guys wonder can anyone help me with this. I had a winning football bet last saturday (the janesboro s clarke wincast) and it still isn't settled with pp! I was on their live help and the rep said as it was a non league game they would have to wait to get confirmation that he scored before paying out...now I can understand this but it's four days ago now. Has anyone else been waiting this long?!

    Just as a change, here's a good-service story

    Went into Paddy Power shop today and placed 2 bets, which I shouldn't have (cos I had a brain meltdown for some reason!)

    Went back in there and girl behind counter said that she couldn't void them (which I more or less had an idea anyway) but she could change them if I wanted, which she did no problem

    So thank you Paddy Power girl

    why can you not change bets online even just the ones with n/r but shops pay better bonus on lucky 15etc

    I registered an account with William Hill using a new email address that I have not used for anything else.

    When signing up I ticked all the boxes so that they would not share my information with 3rd parties.

    Almost immediately I began receiving emails from Casino BeGado who said they were affiliated with William Hill.

    I contacted William Hill and they denied being affiliated with this casino.

    This leads to one obvious conclusion in my opinion, that an employee of William Hill is selling account information (possibly just name and email).

    2.15 on a Saturday afternoon and Paddypower decide that now is a good time to do maintenance. Joke website, if they run maintenance at this hour they are idiots, my own guess is their is problems with their site again, but wont admit it.

    That maintenance was due to the timing of the UFC being off. They had the market open for results that had already come through.

    Chanced my arm at it. Bet got voided.

    Complained looking for a free bonus :D

    The first past the post doesn't apply with betting exchanges so your bet is a loser i'm afraid.

    that would be the case. mind you 1.01 in-running is usually a long way clear, but if jockey weighed in wrong or took wrong course like last week , rules of racing and not FPP applies to Betfair.


    So always beware.

    I would ask what prices changed, must have been a right few changes to make that much of a difference. Ask for the new odds and compare to what was taken, wouldn't be just accepting it.

    I bet on a player to score anytime in a match yesterday, he came on with 20seconds to go ffs. PP said that was unlucky when I asked could they refund it. Hope they spend that five euro wisely it'll be the last they ever get out of me, he was a defender.
