Hi guys I have a situation - I placed a very large bet on dodgers tonight 5k - really stupid.. I can accept loses fair and square and in a normal bet I would cop this sweet on the chin... This issue I have is that my bet was set as processing status for the first 17 mins on the game and conveniently went to processed a minute or 2 after the dodgers conceded the lead..
I have taken screen shots of the bet / including multiple different times etc and the espn score board too with times..
The big issue I have apart from losing 5k is that I have no guarantee they would have accepted my bet had LA Dodgers got in the lead to start with..
Do I have a leg to stand on here ??? I'm pretty disgusted with my bet but also the lack of ethics proven by my book maker.. I will be asking for a nil bet status especially when I show them my photos with time lapse... pretty sure they can get in some big shit for this... thoughts ????

I don't want to name names but it's a largish Aussie bookmaker.. I'm waiting to speak to customer service.. it's just to coincidentle that the bet was finally accepted once I was losing.. hence why I was taking photos on my screen.. they could just have easily rejected the bet if my team went in front.. I'm not happy !!!

Had it been flagged as processed prior to any scores I would have no issues apart from the fact I chose the wrong team today.. this isn't the case and I feel robbed !!

It didn't say accepted until after I was losing - it just said processing and had $0 @ 1.66.but mentioned my stake of 5k... its dodgy as FCk and if it's not refunded I'll report it to the betting ombudsman.. this is not ethical.. it's totally wrong.. I'm pissed ! Like I said if I saw accepted then I would have no issues.. but only after I was losing did the status change to accepted ! Someone should lose their job for this.... they would be smart to refund that bet !

It's not illegal in Australia mate and it's heavily regulated... I'll find out soon enough.. I don't accept that they can wait until I'm losing before accepting the bet.. the could just have easily declined the bet as well had my team gone in front... this is my problem.. I'm just lucky I have all the photos to back this up..

It's already been refunded ! I didn't even speak to customer service... I'm disappointed that this happened though... I'm lucky it did in a way.. credit to them for rectifying the issue..

I'm very surprised to see it cancelled in my account.. was expecting it to be a shit fight to get back.. end of the day as a bettor in a tough game all you want to know is it's a fair fight.. my biggest bet in 10 years and all I had was anxiety for the first 17mins of the game not knowing if I was on the bet or not.. assumed it wasn't.. then accepted after falling behind... i won't do that again.. so lucky..

That is a very good question.. I was chasing and on very little sleep.. not good for making decisions.. it's been a 10 day bender.. 200 bucks to 8k was as high as 11.6k - I have no idea why I chose to unload on that game.. I read the reports and everything.. should have been easy to stay away from.. when I spoke to bookie they just acknowledged the bet should have been done when submitted and it wasn't likely the operator knew anything about the score but got to processing it 17 mins late... since they credited back I will have to believe them.. my anxiety levels went through the roof on that game plus the first 20 mins not knowing if it was on or not... crazy.. massive result to get out of jail there.. I'm happy now :)

Man I'd love to be a customer of your bookie. If a bookie refunds a 5k bet, and especially without giving a hard time
We bettors live in US get horrible bookie and customer service from books in Central America, all 5d, bookmaker, betdsi, hrwager, betonline all of them

I'd have said Crownbet too. I've heard of this 'Processing' BS happening regularly with a friend, who bets Aussie Rules professionally. He has been getting delays and limits a lot.
