I'm starting to clock up a few now. Tell your tales but watch out for the thought police.
Last night I placed a bet with a bookmaker I'll call CCCLXV.
This agency boasts of its cash out feature. So I make use of it with what one might call intelligent risks.
Anyway, my intelligent risk was to place a $100 bet on a team to win a T20 game. They were one wicket down for zero runs in the first over, and chasing 194 for victory. I got odds of $10, so a win would have paid a grand.
However, I was simply playing the odds that might recover enough to be a sporting chance and then I'd cash out. As it is they lost by a measly 4 runs after choking in the last 12 deliveries.
Sadly though, the cash out option NEVER appeared ONCE in the entire innings. On calling CCCLXV the live betting agent told me cash out was available and I'd just have to watch and be patient. I then called customer service and they said the same thing as well as rebooting my device and logging back in again (thanks geniuses).
As they got closer I called again and the agent said he can't help and put me through to customer service. The lass lied to me again, then put me on hold for another 3 overs then said we have cancelled cash out. She refused to say when or why and said she need not inform punters before they place a bet that they've cancelled cash out for that event. Absolute f**king crooks.
After losing my $100 and coming very close to taking the grand I decided that those pricks stole about $700-$800 from me (and presumably a big punter with the same idea) deliberately. Sent them some of my finest foul mouthed vitriol and closed my account forever.
Utter utter bastards. I will never ever place a bet with them on any day out of the 365 days in the year that one can bet.
I have two more stories to tell but keen on yours also.
