Bookie changed odds after bet was placed?

Yes mick it would be like going on strike at work! but many get addicted and all these ads on tv dont help they drive me mad also, you think their would some restrictions by now with them, and then the cover up by saying not to get carried away many do i bet.

I take your point and feel much sympathy for those who are problem gamblers. After 50yrs in the game my only problem is getting a bet accepted. I do have an addiction which is one of constantly attempting to improve my understanding of why horses win or lose races and remain pleased about this.

Hi all

I placed a bet this morning with a bookmaker on a football game. The odds I placed were 3/1 and it was a fairly large bet.


The bet was confirmed and I could see it in the ‘My Bets’ section. I also have a screenshot of the bet with the odds.

Once the game was in play I went back into ‘My Bets’ and could see the odds had been changed to 4/5! I contacted live chat and he said he could see there had been a big change in the odds of my bet after placement.

It’s been passed to the traders and I am awaiting a response.


Are they allowed to do this? I had already placed the bet so surely they can’t? Incidentally the bet won and paid out at the lower odds and I am pretty furious.

Done it to me on the darts bet I had they put it up to 225 to 1 and then 24 hours later took me odds down so far I won half the doe what they give me to put on it lol cunts sky bet are now saying it was a technical error
