Not AFL betting but yet another punting screw up, this time the TAB.

This guy puts a total of $50 on 3 different 2001-1 shots on a Major League Baseball game. They all get up and he’s owed $184,892. The biggest payout of the 3 ($120,000) gets put in his TAB account but when he goes to withdraw it the TAB have rescinded it. They then claimed that the odds of 2001-1 were listed in a “technical error“ and that they’ve paid him out for the correct odds which paid out just $196. The TAB claim they can do this under its “terms and conditions “.

I can half understand that. The 3 teams must have been around 1.7 each (assuming the $196 is his profit). Less than $1.60 each if that includes his original stake. It is different to the circumstance where you have say 10 bets that get up and they accept the bet and all prices are correct and they cap the payout

He must have known the odds were not correct?

I wonder if they offered an early payout?

What if he had laid his last winning team on betfair in the expectation he was winning a set amount? (assuming he could fund it)

I'm gonna take some of the 100-1 on Collingwood finishing last in 2021.

even if I dont ultimately collect, just informing my Collingwood acquaintances

of the investment, will strike fear into their hearts, and justify the stake.

win:win

Sportsbet already wound the tigers out 2 pts for the flag.

I love the way bookies are impatient, and their memories are short.

when I see $6 (round 5?),

im gonna start seriously self-managing my super.

and I know you shouldnt bet on emotion,

but the tigers premiership?collingwood wooden spoon double @ 300-1

has got to be worth $100, just to show the grandkid the ticket marking these glorious days

doesn't it?

One of Hawks/Roos/Bombers should be the spoon favourites. Can't see the pies falling so low.

Bolton has been underwhelming in the Escort Cup but I still had a bite at $31 for him to get All-Australian honours. (Pointsbet)

I can't believe that the bookies have the Cats as 2nd Fav for the flag $5.50 with Sportsbet.

They are also paying $6.50 to miss the 8. Juicy considering they look like they have recruited this off season to achieve that.

They’ll shorten after the first few rounds, and by round 7 (at the max....maybe by round 2 or 3 even) they’ll most likely be favourites.

They have a soft start to their draw.

Good luck scotty, fair bit of hate around the Tigers come All-Australian honours, only 5 players made it in 3 Premiership years.

Nick reiwoldt onto selection committee will help STC land this one.

Cousin Nick is astute and loves the tigers.

I think that is a tautology?
