    In principle, it is the same as changing the horse you have backed so as to fit their odds.
    Incredible! If this truly is stated in their rules - whatever the outcome of this dispute - those rules should be challenged for being simply out of line.

      I tried opening an account with these guys several months ago because they are one of the few books that offer live betting on tennis. Long story short, I wasn't able to open an account because they don't accept U.S. customers.

        The relevant "rule" they think "covers this" is unclear and subjective.

        Palpable errors In-Play - when it is clear which participant is the wrong price/line/handicap/totals, bets on this participant will be settled at the intended bet365 price/line/handicap/totals at the time the bet was placed. If it is unclear which participant was the wrong price/line/handicap/totals (due to large fluctuations around the time a bet was placed), then we reserve the right to void all bets placed at the time of an over-broke book.

        #1. "Clear" by whose definition? What is "clear"?

        #2. My argument to them was if they want to adjust the odds rather than cancel it, they could use the price equivalent to the line. So maybe his bet becomes +4.5 -2500 but they can't arbitrarily pass out losers and change outcomes.

        There isn't much need for an argument here. Obviously the player didn't agree to this bet they gave him.

        I spoke with the night shift and asked that they escalate the tape of our conversation and will email upper Mgt. about it.

          Wow and I was so mad when Bet365 stopped serving US customers, I loved in play betting. They did you totally wrong sotos, sorry pal. Its so wrong to keep someone's money after all we bet when we think we see a discrepancy in the lines thats why we bet because we think we have an angle and if the line is somewhat different we stay away, who can tell and how is one supposed to guess at what the book's line should be, no such thing as an obvious and unclear line as Bet365 claims.

          During a tennis tourney this past summer I won money on Bagdatis to win when he was up two sets and way ahead in the third set and they still had the line at +150 when I bet, seems crazy doesnt it, I got paid for it but it "looked" like a mistake but since I got paid I guess it wasnt, so who is to say what is unclear and clear, now Im glad I cant do business with them anymore.

            I understand what your saying, but if for example the price for benetton was 20.00 instead of 1.83 then i wouldn't say anything if they canceled the bet but they can't just change the points of the winning team that is totally illegal this is not a mistake this is stealing

                i had the same problem with sotos with 365.but i did bet the same with small stakes only 90e.i did not know the rule i thought they would cancel the bet.i contacted them via live chat and i heard the same crap.but as far as i have understood all bookies if they make a mistake which was obvious cause i was watching the game, they never pay for it.only once 365 paid me a bad line at aigaleo-aek but i think they had not realised the bad line.in the past at baseball live betting i betted twice at a bad line and they just voided the bet in 5 minutes!i caught a bad line also at ladbrokes a month ago at real-mons for uleb with 150odd!i bet it in order to see what the would do.the bet lost so i lost allso my money they did not void the bet.so watch out when u see at live betting bad lines.the only reliable bookmaker is our local one in greece.they have many other weakness but they are the most reliable ones.and with unlimited stakes.even william hill and ladbrokes have limited and closed my accounts.nobody likes winning players

                    This is funny...3.65 (and most other british books) are horseshit. Play with the real books like Pinny and you have no problems.

                        betfair mates is not a bookmaker they are agents.they are the best but their emploees are sometimes not very polite and not very helpfull. the biggest problem for me about 365 is tha they accept 1out of 10 bets over 100e from me...

                          unlike other countries UK has a very strict regulation on gambling. Direct your complain to http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/ and they'll surely deal with it fairly. hope this help.

                            Sotos,

                            I feel for you. The same thing has happened to me in the past, but a smaller amount of $ and they never bothered to overturn the results.

                              I took the case to IBAS and they send me this email on the 12 February

                              Dear Sir

                              Your case is back from the IBAS Panel and our ruling will be with you in
                              a few days.


                              Regards.


                              Sharon Powell
                              For IBAS


                              What are my chances do you think?

                                No chance with IBAS. Bet365 have graded the bet within their rules. The rules may not be fair but IBAS dont look at that.

                                  I hope your wrong because every bookie can make such a rule that can make a winning bet a losing one not only for live betting but on every type of bet and take all of our money

                                    That is correct and IBAS would rule in their favour. IBAS role is to ensure the book follows its rules, not to judge the rules. In this case Bet365 followed their rules. The rule stinks but I dont see that it is unclear. It gives them the ability to change the handicap if it is obviously wrong. With all other books showing the opposite handicap, it was obviously wrong.
                                    Check out some of IBAS previous rulings, you will see what I mean. IBAS isnt necesarily pro bookie, it just has a very limited mandate. People expect too much of it when submitting a complaint.

                                      You were right my friend IBAS ruled in favor of the bookie...... My last hope is Bill Dozer now.....

                                              Well you saw what bet365 can do. Keep that in mind if you continue betting with them. Maybe you can see a nice bet and think you have won and end up losing not only the winnings but your money also.....

                                                hi people..1st i wanna say to sotos how sorry i am for that..i really know what you're talking about..i read this post lot of times,it's a very good one,one more time people be aware of "bad3.65"...specially for live betting..i got from them answers like "there wasn't picture in our screens and such a match-market shouldn't have been available,that's why we have voided your bet"..so what?if anything important happened why void a receipt???winner by the way..and why you didn't really stop the markets if there really was a problem with pictures?9i know why,to take receipts and void winning ones,keeping losing ones..that's the answer..so why don't tell the same b**l s**t to everyone who's got winning bets voiding everything..good business isn't?),then i got their wrong lines voided when winning and made losers when losing..such a rule,isn't?
                                                when i read answers like "you shouldn't have played wrong lines,that's what you get..."
                                                EXCUSE ME?
                                                their bloody live console or whoever trader are trying to cheat us,forcing errors,taking receipts and voiding when winning,and taking our money if such a bets are loser...that's the truth..i've got loads of proofs,print-screen of receipts..
                                                i can't wait for a legal action against them,to really see their server and database and i'm sure they do settle same bets(i mean exactly same events) in a different way for different customers,and if any good lawyer is reading that pls let's get in touch..
                                                and i'd like to find out how far should be a receipt from a key-action(like a goal,red card,penalty..)to be considered winner and not voided,because if i bet on something and after 10-15 seconds i get my fair and honest receipt,and after a couple of seconds when i get the transaction number something happens (like red card)i don't wanna see my receipt voided..and i don't need their words "traders decision" and rubbish stuff you perfectly know....),i wanna see time of the event taken from official statisctic matched with my receipt's time.
                                                someone has to stop that "official fraudolent activity "...
                                                best of luck to everyone..

                                                        bet 365 is a very good sportsbook.

                                                        They gives themselves the right to void any bet the way they want to do.

                                                        and They are also very good in protecting their custumers from too much betting.

                                                          They want to protect me a lot from too much betting.

                                                          My maximum bet at a ATP Tennis match was 63 Cent now.

                                                                i may do the same with all void receipts i have collected ...

You thought worst case scenario for you would be void bet - quick question for you - when you placed the bet at +4.5 HOW LONG WAS LEFT in the match? by my calculations and investigation - about 2 minutes , 3 at the most and you are trying to say you think a 9 point swing is not a palpable error! pmsl.

                                                                  The one thing i do agree with you on is the rather blurry rule change they implemented for in play palpables (probably cos of perpetual cheats like you who only play wrong lines and think they have a no lose situation). Think they have reverted back to old rule of just void now.

                                                                  I can see only ONE reason why they are not the best sportsook around and that would be due to the high juice offered as compared to Pinny etc BUT they are still usually a lot better than most other Euro sportsbooks - have you seen BWIN odds/juice??

                                                                  Of course they restrict some customers - mainly arb players and the sharps but what do you want or expect them to do???? just let people win money off them Gees wise up guys, just open another account and stop about it.

                                                                  The problem with most of you lot is all you're interested in is boring boring pre game lines where there is literally no value (even with Pinny) - anyone who is a value punter these days loves in running AND therefore loves 365 and their MASSIVE coverage of all sports in play with loads and loads of markets - OF COURSE there are problems from time to time when you offer so much but i really must defend them here as i think they are getting a really bad rap when they offer great customer serrvice and a great sportsbook.

                                                                  I have never had any real problem with them (tho admittedly i am only betting 50-100 per bet) probably cos i don't knowingly cheat, play exclusively arbs or cherry pick top prices all day with them.

                                                                  Bit strong for a first post i know but i think this thread is ludicrously one sided.

                                                                  BTW im not only championning 365 - basically any bookie committed to in play gets my vote - so along with 365 i would recommend Sportingbet, Paddy Power and Stan James - and even Ladbrokes if you can hadle the high juice.

                                                                    Of course they restrict some customers - mainly arb players and the sharps but what do you want or expect them to do???? just let people win money off them Gees wise up guys, just open another account and stop about it.

                                                                    The problem with most of you lot is all you're interested in is boring boring pre game lines where there is literally no value (even with Pinny) - anyone who is a value punter these days loves in running AND therefore loves 365 and their MASSIVE coverage of all sports in play with loads and loads of markets - OF COURSE there are problems from time to time when you offer so much but i really must defend them here as i think they are getting a really bad rap when they offer great customer serrvice and a great sportsbook.

                                                                    I have never had any real problem with them (tho admittedly i am only betting 50-100 per bet) probably cos i don't knowingly cheat, play exclusively arbs or cherry pick top prices all day with them.

                                                                    Bit strong for a first post i know but i think this thread is ludicrously one sided.

                                                                    BTW im not only championning 365 - basically any bookie committed to in play gets my vote - so along with 365 i would recommend Sportingbet, Paddy Power and Stan James - and even Ladbrokes if you can hadle the high juice.
                                                                    It never failed every single time that those scumbags British bookies gets expose on SBR you always have a one of those butt licking paid SHILLS that comes out of nowhere to tell us that U.K. bookie X is the best in the world!......IN TOTAL CONTRADICTION TO EVERYBODY ELSE, REALITY!!!"BET 365 IS A TOP FLIGHT BOOK"!?

US and Canadian punters still bet in the dark ages. Pre game spreads? yawn bloody yawn - why not just toss a coin? how many people beat the books using pre game lines? 1%? oh go on then 2%? you just keep giving Pinny their juice everyday my friend.
