I work in a bookies and i do feel for the guy as i am a gambler aswell and can see his fustration as the bet was taken and no comment made by the cashier at the time. If i feel a bet could be refused i will always check with the bookies. I tried for last season to have leeds win the league, hull kr in the playoffs and celtic to finnish bottom, they were all at evens just about so would pay quite nice. but they would not accept the bet as it was conflicting, so it is kind of the same i guess as because it snowed in one town it is more likley that is snowed in another town so the odds should be reduced. (if that makes sence)
There is no way he will get paid out though, i guess as he has complained he will get bet vouchers and the like.

I wonder how he actually put the bet on.....crash in with 5 or so others getting on at Portman Park or the like and no wonder the cashier did not pick up on it....if he asked if it was an acceptable bet etc then I would have a bit more sympathy though I think he knew exactly what he was doing and knew he had little chance of success.

O'Shea's had some very easy matches thus far - not been in a real battle in truth, fancy Chisnall to beat him tonight, impressed me with his grit and determination in the QF and was unlucky with a few bounce-outs too.

Either way I think the winner will come from that Semi - Wolfie's had the easiest of the draw thus far and Phillip's isn't amazing.

LadCROOKS suck!!! Last season had a 1st & last try bet on willie talau on my phone acc & it turned out he was injured ( no biggie i get a refund i thought!!) waited like 4 days & still no deposit back in my acc!! So i rings em up see whats happened to my money,turns out i was not due anything back so i argued he never even laced his boots up ffs! Demanded to speak to his gaffa & it he says only in ru are you entitled to a refund if they dont play!! Needless to say i have not & will not ever bet with then again!

I just think Wolfie handles the pressure the best and O'Shea has been found wanting before on the big stage and Chisnall has never gone through such a big occasion as a World Final so easy draw on not I think he is in the box seat.

Fancy O'Shea myself.
