If they won't honour a timestamped betting slip in your hand then the whole idea of a contract with the bookie becomes meaningless. So sorry for you but hopefully they'll settle up after a short letter from your solicitor.
Im used to it buddy. Not the first time this has happened. They have only ever once responded to a court claim and that was over a promotional "best odds" which in fairness they had half a chance of winning. They just think I am going to accept the few hundred quid instead.

Look i know I am "limited", but they took the bet knowing they can do this if it wins.

Third claim in 6 months. The last claim was for £45 with Coral. Women on till settled my multiple bet wrong and refused to pay me when I proved how the bet should have been settled.

The sooner the FOBT's are limited the better. Maybe they might start taking bets.

I will 10000% get paid for this, but it might take a few months. still have county court balifs chasing ladbrokes for pennies from 2016.

But if you're limited, why did they take the bet? In that case the next time you lose go back in and say, I want £40 back, you should have only taken £10!

You know what pisses me off the most. I have hardly won anything from that particular shop address. All because I dont sit in their playing the machines or virtual racing they take note of the occasional winner.

Same F****** Bull s*** again. Traders wont pay out my bet. Only prepared to pay me upto £10 each way at SP.

I know I am limited to £10 max.. £10 e/w can I get £50 each way on a 33/1 shot if not Ill try BetFred over the road. "I'll find out for you"
Called whoever they needed too and said I can have £50 each way at SP only...

Now wont pay my bet. Only £10 each way plus £80. Bastards. Another court claim being made this afternoon. Livid.
I had a problem with one of the big bookies not refunding my stake on a non starter, but when I took it up with IBAS they reconsidered and paid up. Surely you've got a solid case to refer the matter to IBAS if they refuse to honour your bet ?

If I was a bookie I wouldn't let you even come in the shop. ;)

Prooblem with IBAS is they take forevever to resolve issues. I used them once and it took i think about 6 months for an outcome. Just easier to send a letter before action to head office then file a claim. But they have never ever responded to a Letter before action so i just us .gov online and make the claim.

I just file it here...

https://www.gov.uk/make-money-claim-online

Ask them to send claim as notice. Wait 28 days.. then seek judgement by default... which takes two secs to do.. then pay for ballifs to collect.

Never going to get rich on a price like this but 4.35 tomorrow- Oneroa. Its a case of how far not if.

If the shrewedys click on can see this being smashed in tomorrow. So clear of the rest its a joke. Currently 2.16 if you can dribble some on early think it will steam. Someone will spot the difference in quality compared to the field. I have it as 4/6 shot 1.66ish..
