Dear Andrew



Due to an error, the total for the event Real Madrid vs Brose Baskets was incorrectly posted. The Over Total should have been 145.5, the same as the Under Total, rather than the 14.5 which was posted. The error was manifest and obvious and we believe that you were reasonably aware that there was an error.



As a result all wagers placed at the incorrect prices have been voided and we refer you to the following rule on our website.



Rule 14



Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in these Rules, if Sportingbet publishes, posts or quotes any incorrect betting information for any sporting event, such as posting wrong dividends or lines, then regardless of the cause or source of such error:



(a) if the error is identified prior to the commencement of the event and notified by Sportingbet to the most recent telephone or facsimile contact number or email address supplied by a Client, whose wager on that event has been accepted or confirmed by Sportingbet, such wagers will be void. If the wager is part of a multiple bet, the wager will then be re-calculated without the team/competitor which had the error; or

(b) if the error is identified only after the commencement of the event or for any other reason not notified to the Client's point of contact prior to commencement of the event, the wager on the event shall stand. The only exception to this is where Sportingbet can demonstrate that the error was manifest or obvious, or that the Client otherwise should reasonably have been aware of the error, when the wager was placed. If a Client has been paid winnings in error Sportingbet shall be entitled to issue the Client with an invoice demanding repayment. In such circumstances, the invoice shall be evidence that the amount is due and payable.



We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We would like to point out that All of our rules are approved by the Northern Territory Racing Commission and under Rule 40, if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service you may refer the matter to the Commission by emailing them at gamblingdisputes@nt.gov.au

I don't know how much you wagered, but I would be satisfied with the free $100 bet. A lot of books would have given you nothing. I would still be writing them a polite (but firm) e-mail, expressing how displeased you are at such unprofessional service.

Point out that you made the bet because you thought the total would surpass the correct line, not because of the error. Mention that mistakes like these only encourage you to use rival books ;)

called them and they said since it was an abnormal bet, it was obvious I had bet only due to the error
 
Alright guys this is getting very exciting, the thing i want to know is "should i offload onto another team to cover my arse"? Im thinking Colts because to be honest i think they are the only team who can beat the Pats, Sorry Cowboy fans but i think your gone. Or should i just sit and let it all ride. I mean whats $500 on the colts @ 7's to make 3500, when i have got a so much riding on the pats? Let me know yout thoughts.

Hi Osmond, i have to agree that the Colts are probably the Pats biggest danger but the problem is that the Pats and Colts are both on the same side of the draw in the AFC, so only one of them can make the Superbowl. Green Bay and Dallas are lucky they are on the easy side of the draw in the NFC. I would wait until after the Wild Card round before deciding to offload, that way you will find out who the Colts will play in the Divisional Playoff. Also, if the NY Giants can beat Tampa in the NFC Wild Card game then they could be some chance in the NFC because at least they were competitive against the Pats in the last round. I would like to say that my team the Tennessee Titans are a chance, but we will need a miracle because even if we win this week against the Chargers we would then face the mighty Pats in the Divisional Playoff. I still had a little wager on the Titans at huge odds of 150/1.
 
Just a quick note to anyone having a punt tomorrow... I have a friend down the local pub who I always see down there when I'm having a flutter, who seems to know a bit about the horses, and also seems to know a few of the trainers. Anyway, long story short, I saw him today, and he strongly suggested I put some dosh on a horse tomorrow at Coffs harbour, named Shovoot. He said he is a friend of the owner, who he talked to yesterday. The story goes that the owner told him that a few of his horses got that equine influenze, but Shovoot didn't. Anyway, while most of his horses have been recovering, Shovoot has been training strongly with nothing more to do. Apparently he's an especially strong runner in first up races, and is well weighted for the race tomorrow, race 8 at Coffs. Take it for what it's worth, but the guy who got me onto it picked the first 5 winners at Rosehill today, so I'm inclined to put a bit of faith in him, at least each way... I'm probably going to put 20 each-way myself, more if I can get my hands on it... Hope it helps someone, and apologize in advance if it comes out bad...
 
GO the GIANTS!!!! I won a cool $350.00 backing the NY Giants to beat the Cowboys today. The Giants were the more disciplined team and they made the most of the their chances so they deserved to win. The Cowboys had their chances but when you give away 11 Penalties and drop easy catches like that, you don't deserve to win.

Osmond, your $10,000.00 Pats bet is looking good with the Colts losing, but i wouldn't underestimate the Chargers next week. I guess you only need the Pats to make the Super Bowl then you are guarenteed a Win because you can always just offload on whoever they played in the Super Bowl. I still think that the NY Giants are the Pats biggest danger in the NFC because the Giants did almost beat the Pats in the last round of the regular season. I have a speculative bet of $30.00 at 34/1 on the NY Giants for the Superbowl which is still alive. I'm not as confident about the Giants next week against the Packers, but the Giants have won their last 9 Away Games so they still have a chance of making the Super Bowl.
 
Well boys its only a matter of time before i collect. I am thinking about laying off on the Giants @ the great odds of $6.50 with a cool $1000. SO i either get 10000ish or 6500. Which will be a very good result with the outlay made.
 
Go Giants!!! I had an $87.00 bet on the NY Giants to beat the Packers at $3.90 for a nice return of $339.30 ($252.30 Profit). I've won over $900.00 backing the Giants over the last 3 Weeks, and i will win another $1,020.00 if the NY Giants can somehow win the Superbowl. It should be a great game.

Well done Osmond, you are in a great position, you can't lose. If the Pats win you clear about $9,000.00 profit and if the Giants win you clear about $5,500.00 profit. =D>
 
Go the mighty NY Giants!!!! I had a big win backing the NY Giants to win the Superbowl. I had 2 Bets on the Superbowl which were as follows;

$30.00 at $34/1 on the NY Giants to return $1,020.00

$135.00 at $4.75/1 on the NY Giants to return $641.25

Total Outlay = $165.00
Total Return = $1,661.25
Total Profit = $1,496.25

What was your final decision?
 
I lay off and scored 6500 so im happy but not as happy cause the Pats lost. but a big profit is a big profit
