Bookie refuses to pay out $11 million on snow bet - Yahoo! News Something just tells me , if he didnt win, they wouldnt of told him only single bets are allowed. What a big difference in the pay, from 11 million, instead he gets a lousy $50, thats just wrong.If they are 1 of the leading bookmakers, they should at least sweeten the pie some, it was there fault for mistakenly accepting the bet. People betting on when it will snow, whats next?

legal action coming on that one for sure! Bet you're right, they wouldn't have returned his bets if he'd lost... can you imagine how disappointed he must have been!

Well, i agree if mistakes happen to companies like this, hey, its their stupidity for accepting the bet and everyone knows that they definitely wouldn't have returned the bet if he had lost.

if the bet was accepted, then the bet should stand, and Ladbrokes should chalk it up to dumbness on their side.

I would definitely demand a high settlement of this case, if i wasn't going to get the whole deal. I get tired of places say oops, i made a mistake, i 'm not gonna pay.

That would be like me going to a casino and spending 10,000 on my credit card, then turning around and say oops, my math was a bit off i didn't mean to spend that much, i'm gonna only allow the casino to charge my CC for $100 instead on the $10,000 because that was done by mistake.

eishagirl the scenerio you posted is more like a charge back. Whatever.

As far as betting on snow and what next labell..... When I lived in Australia they bet on ANYTHING! Two flies crawling up the wall. They have a game called 2-up where 2 coins sit in a small paddle. The spinner goes in the ring and the players bet on how they will land. They actually have this in a Hilton owend casino!

Sorcer can correct me, but thats basically what it's about!

And at the pub, when they have them- raffle tickets to win a meat tray!

I won once, it was like a quarter of a lamb, chops, roast, all cleaned up and ready to cook/freeze. YUM!

I've made bets with friends as to what song a certain band will open with!!!
