Alright Peeps,
Need some advise...
On Friday 26th April I placed a £20 bet at odds of 4/1 for Deontay Wilder to win a boxing match in the first round against Audley Harrison.
On Saturday 27th April, 70 seconds into the first round Deontay Wilder won the fight by knock out, the time was 20:48pm GMT.
On Saturday 27th April at 21:54pm GMT Bwin cancelled my winning bet and refunded my original stake.
After sending a few emails and badgering them on the phone, I spoke to someone in customer services today who told me the reason why they cancelled my bet was that they thought it was a 12 round fight and it was actually a 10 round fight, therefore all round bets were cancelled. 10 round or 12 round though my bet was still for a knockout in round 1. I can understand that if it's a 10 round fight the odds of a first round knockout will be shortened but it's not my fault they got it wrong. In any case, most of the other gambling websites were offering 4/1 on a first round knockout for Deontay Wilder, all of these other bookies can't also have got the odds wrong.
I just can't believe a major company can get away with what is tantamount to theft.
Can anyone help me please?
Dan
