Ah bugger, couldn't get on myself. Screen just went all white when I tried to settle bet. Checked again last night and they had teh prices fixed.

Let us know how you got on.

[kompressaur]

Will do Chief and here's hoping. they still have it in my account as-

15.00 W Single St Mirren v Celtic : First Team To Score Celtic 7/2 Open Open 0.00

so you never know. I suppose they would just put a stop on it when settled. If price = 7/2 on Celtic then send email saying 'sorry about the error and you didnt really think we would let you away with it did you?'

You never know though Chief

[Bigkegman]

Good man komp. Amazed that they payed out! These things usually end up in heartbreak and hissy fits

[Cinny]

nice one folks good to get one over on them!

[selectabet]

Bugger! missed that one.

Well done those that got on. I don't know how often these things come up but do you think it would it be worthwhile having some kinda thread/category for this stuff? Its great when it comes off.

[MickeyPaul]

Good stuff Komp. I remember bet365 having Liverpool v Celtic first goal after 28th minute @ 7/1 I think and paying out. I shouted it up, Slick got on, I stupidly shouted it up before betting on it and by the time I went to they'd fixed it.
