If they've settled a winning bet and it's showing in your balance and you then withdraw the funds to your bank account, can they retrieve it again if they realise they've made a mistake?

[Psybbo]

They seldom make mistakes. Are you sure?

[PankySmooch]

I've worked the bet out and it doesn't come to anything near to what they've paid me

[Psybbo]

Can you give me details and I'll see if I agree with your amount?

[Maydup]

Most of them do " best odds guaranteed" could it be that? I placed a bet at
20-1 once and it paid out at 33-1 which was the eventual starting price.

But to answer your question, no they cannot take money from your bank account and its very unlikely the computers would make a mistake. As Psybs says, let us have the odds and we'll see what we make it.

They can, however, close your account and refuse to do any further business with you.

Hi, I picked 6 horses and did them in 5p ew trebles, I got 3 winners 28/1, 22/1 and 12/1 and a 3rd in a 7 runner race @ 9/2 and 2 unplaced

The SP's of the winners were 66/1, 14/1 and 7/1 and the 3rd was 9/4

Normally a 3rd in a 7 runner race doesn't count but it showed up as placed in my bet, even so I can't work out how they come up with my payout

I look forward to seeing your results, Thanks

[Psybbo]

I worked it out as £433.55 ignoring the 7/2 in the 7 horse race. How much did they pay out?

[Psybbo]

Sorry, going with the SPs £408.48, just going to check my previous amount if I missed the e/w

[Psybbo]

If you were given Best price it would be £1,014.69

[PankySmooch]

Thanks Pysbbo, would like to see if any others come up with anything before I reveal what it payed

I doubt the bookie made a mistake, no need to shift your winnings IMO.

Stoked 3/1
Crafty choice 7/1


AB inspired selections but they both won ;0)

[Sam1960]

your two horses that weren't placed Panky, did you check to see that they weren't NR's !! That could make a difference to your payout if they were

[PankySmooch]

They run Sam, unplaced

[Psybbo]

Great investment, anyway Panky

[Sam1960]

ok, just a thought !! I've been surprised a few times at the win counter all down to NR's
well done anyway ;-)

[PankySmooch]

Also I've spoken to a friend who works in a bookies and he says online bets are worked out by a computer as Maydup said earlier and they aren't wrong

[Psybbo]

Please put us out of our misery and tell us

[Sam1960]

I closed my WH online account on monday. They sent me an e-mail telling me that due to the fact I hadn't used my online account for 24 consecutive months they were going to debit my bank account £3 every month !!

[Psybbo]

Good grief Sam, surely they can't do that!

[Sam1960]

Can't do it now sibs !! account is now closed. Was wondering if anyone else has had such an e-mail from WH ?
