We were 11/1 when I looked on Saturday, now down to 5/1.

Just got on Giovinco for Al Hilal @3/1, was an absolute beast in the MLS.

Think Everton seem a banker today, just stuck £20 on em at 5/4 with Hills, Arsenal are so crap and even with Arteta i can't see an immediate turnaround.

I felt the need to bring this thread back to life or have we all had not much luck lately betting wise?

150/1

Monthe 22/1 to score anytime against United. Scored in both games against Watford in the previous round. Worth a few pennies.

Just a word of warning incase anyone ever wants to bet on the player pass market on 365, they include unsuccessful pass attempts in the total. I backed Fred tonight for under 51.5. He attempted 54 with only 47 successful. Settled as a loss.

If you place a bet which you cashed out on (for less than the original stake) but the bookmaker had voided it because the game wasn't 90 minutes long, should you receive the full amount rather than the amount which was cashed out?

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #76970 on:** February 2, 2020, 03:52:41 pm »

Not sure about that one, i'd look through their T&Cs regarding both voided matches AND ones regarding Cash outs.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #76971 on:** February 2, 2020, 05:48:13 pm »

Can't see relevant stuff on Sky Bet in relation to it. It's been passed to their complaints team.

LallanaInPyjamas · « **Reply #76972 on:** February 3, 2020, 11:18:21 am »

Generally cashing out will over-ride anything else so doubt there's much you can do there.

Think Shrewsbury & BTTS at 6/1 tomorrow night looks value. I fully back our kids to score with the talent we have but not sure how we're going to cope defensively.

Except when it works against the bookie. A lad in work cashed out a bet recently. I think it was West Ham v Sheffield Utd or something. He was waiting for that to be a draw for his acca and one of them equalised late on. He cashed out for about £2 or £3 less than the return, but then VAR ruled the goal out. They put his balance into minus and settled the bet as a loss.

Ah shit. Hope not. There's quite a difference between the two amounts. The online help department believe I should be entitled to it but couldn't authorize it so passed it to complaints.

Will my Cash Out bet be re-settled?

Please be aware that once a bet has been cashed out, it will no longer be affected by any subsequent resettlements. This includes any resettlements as part of individual sport rules or Goodwill Gestures.

They're probably covered by the 'includes any resettlement as part of individual sport rules' part.

Ah FFS. That's stupid. A bet was placed on it being 90 minutes long. It wasn't.

Takes 15 days for a complaint to be handled anyway. Doubt the fact that a manager and staff thought I should be credited will make a difference?

I'd a similarish one last summer with bet365 on 1st half Asian handicap in some random league. The Facebook page of the team said it was 4-0 first half. Bet365 sad it was played in 3 x 30 minute periods so settled my bet as void. Refused to accept the teams facebook page as an official source. I emailed the club but they never replied

But yeah, back on point. They might settle it as void as a goodwill gesture. But really wouldn't be surprised if they hid behind what I posted above. Genuinely could depend on whether the person dealing with the complaint got sex the night before or not and therefore could be happy as fuck, or really frustrated.

Still awaiting a response.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #76980 on:** February 7, 2020, 05:30:16 pm »

So something happened similar last night with a friendly. They suspended it this time and paid out on those that won and declared it void otherwise. Does that help my case?

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #76981 on:** February 15, 2020, 03:08:30 pm »

Finally got back to me and stated because I cashed out they can't uphold my complaint. Have offered me £50 goodwill gesture bet.

If the season gets voided, the bets will likely be settled on any selections that are already settled.

SPOTY 2020. Considering barely any sport will be played this year due to covid the current favourites are fury 5/4 joe wicks 10/1 hamilton 10/1 henderson 12/1. Now lets say the league is continued, as it sounds like it will, it sounds like henderson wins the pfa. So basically an lfc player is going to be in a vote. Surely he wins if we organise the voting? In the same way giggs won in 2009. Downside is you have to wait till december but could pay for christmas.

They’ve stopped releasing voting figures but i think around 90k would be a winner.

Odd that someone that isn't a sportsperson is even in the running. May as well just have Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson in it.

Anyone got any tips for Bundesliga. Last 2 games between Dortmund and Schalke at Dortmund has seen loads of goals. Hard to predict with empty stadium and maybe less intensity

aggerdid · « **Reply #76993 on:** May 27, 2020, 12:55:13 pm »

Away teams having a lot of success in Bundesliga so far. 22 games in away teams have a record of 12-7-3 with the 3 home wins being dortmund 4-0, bayern 5-2 and hertha 4-0. This is up 28% from pre-covid bundesliga. If you bet £10 blindly on the away team every game so far you’d be £74 up. ROI 33.63%. If you bet £10 blindly on draws you’d be £65.50 up. ROI 29.77%. Haven’t got the up to date avg odds data yet but after the weekend winning home odds down 23% vs pre-covid and pre-game home odds up 20%.

Away teams have scored the first goal 16/22 aswell. Home team 4/22 and 2 0-0 draws. Also away teams have held a 2 goal lead (bet365 early payout) in 11 games.

Obviously this is all small sample sizes as we’re 2.5 gameweeks in but its going to be interesting to see if this away team trend continues.

One observation on 365, i like the win and over number of goals markets but this market has no early payout. If you do a bet builder with result and over number of goals you get the pay out if your team goes 2 ahead freiburg yesterday for example would have been a winner on bet builder but a loser on the normal market at the same odds.

Anyone know the deal with antepost bets when the season is ended prematurely? Voided or pay out on the league standing?

Was sweating on us (not so much), Fulham, Portsmouth and Plymouth all E/W, looks like the lower two are definitely done now though.

I'd imagine League One and League Two bets will get voided or settled as a loss.

Fairly certain different bookies are doing different things. Someone sent me a screenshot when the SPL was declared showing 365 had voided their selection on Raith, but Sky had paid out as a winner.

Leverkusen to win both halves in the cup tonight at evens looks a good price.

Their opponents are three tiers below them, haven't played for three months and won't have fans in the ground to spur them on.
