Hi Hitch
Here's how it works
All the bookmakers have a "palpable error" rule. Where their traders offer a ridiculous price, often because of carelessness, e.g. not checking the effect of a key stage, or a typo, e.g. 33/1 when it should have been 3/1, the bookmaker is allowed to revise the payout.
It sounds like a rip-off and it is, a little bit, but a bet is not the same as a business contract. When you have a bet, you play under the bookmaker's rules.
Ladbrokes have the most careless staff, worst-trained staff. No bookmaker makes as many errors of carelessness and silly mistakes as Ladbrokes. They are always rectifying palpable errors. The dirty bit is that even though they know it is a palpable error, they don't tell you. With my Uran bet after stage 10, they had almost 2 weeks to tell me but they kept schtum. I like to hedge off a winning bet if the odds come in significantly. But I couldn't 'cos I didn't know if Ladbrokes were going to palp me. In this case, they did. I checked what the other bookies were offering after stage 10 and it was between Evens and 6/4 so it was about right.
If you disagree with the way a bookie has paid out, you can take them to the IBAS, the Adjucation Service, in the UK. They are pretty good. They will not overturn a palpable error though. They will, however, up the price if it does not match the market at the time it was struck.
On a separate issue, 6, that's 6 pink jerseys. There's gonna be some ****ed-off Betfair punters. Don't say I didn't tell you 2 pages back.
