For the record, WH did not turn up to original hearing, and No I did not win simply because they did not turn up. Anyone that has any understanding of the law and judicial system knows that's far fetched. After original hearing which I won, WH then appealed twice, case was heard by two different appeal judges, second being at high court judge, in total, 3 judges heard the case. Are you telling me you understand the law better that they do? Furthermore, winning bet was placed on 15/05/15 with 3 other losing bets at the same odds of 2000/1, but again on 26/05/16 I placed 2 more bets on a Djokovic v Nieminen match, again at odds of 2000/1. Bear in mind at this point WH had declare a palpable error 11 days earlier, yet refused to provide documentary evidence of such when I requested. Ibas wouldn't provide evidence either, despite stating that WH had submitted evidence that showed that "odds were incorrect". Btw, all bets were placed via bet in play. As it stands, WH declare a palpable error after taking punters' money from high odds advertised, resettle winning bets to what they decide without any obligation to prove said error, pocket all losing stakes from said error. How is that fair in any civilised society?
Explain that, since you are such a sage. At the very least, you should bother to acquaint yourself fully with a case before mouthing We at least I'm an idiot that knows how to prepare a legal case without any legal training, put it before 3 different learned judges and win, arguing against 2 barrister representing WH!! What have you won in court?
I am the punter who won, so let's set the record straight, particularly as quite a few arm chair sages appear to be providing assertions that are not quite accurate.
The disputed 50p bet was placed on 15th May 2015, among 3 other bets which lost incidentally. Then on 26th May, after WH had had engaged the palpable error clause, I placed 2 more bets on a Djokovic v Nieminen match, again at odds of 2000/1, odds that had been declared an error 11 days earlier. I was obviously not willing to accept the explanations, therefore requested evidence of the error from WH, who continuously refused to provide it. I did the same with IBAS, who again refused to provide any such evidence, despite making reference to "an evidence log" submitted by WH. WH DID NOT attend the first Small Claims hearing, but later attended 3 appeal hearings. In total, 3 different judges heard the case at different times and agreed WH should pay. For those that blindly state that bookies should not pay for genuine errors, all bets were placed via bet in play. In all 7 bets placed in total, just one bet won, the famous £1000 bet. However, WH would not repay any of those stakes, yet pocketed money from errors.
