[AusRace] Sportingbet.com.au

[L.B.Loveday]

Just when I thought Sportingbet.com.au could not get weaker, more
incompetent, they prove me wrong.

 

Noticing that they shortened any horse I backed, I put $1.00  place on one
horse at each meeting today (Darwin not open), resulting in immediate
shortening:

 

Bea 7/1 1.92 into 1.72

Wan 3/9  7.60 into 6.60

Cra 2/4 2.30 into 1.92

Ora 4/10 4.35 into 3.70

PtM 3/3 2.15 into 1.86

 

We used to have stronger SP bookies at school 55 years ago.

Another gutless, incompetent "bookmaker"

Cut me to $9 @ 2.00 Place Orange 7/6. Ran at 2.35 Sportsbet and Ladbrokes.
Risking $9.00!!!!

Presumably they laid off at 2.35 and made a couple of bucks for God knows
how much effort - the minnows manually check each of my bets and decided in
this case to risk $9, so why would they not lay it off? Pathetic begets
extra pathetic. 

 

Pathetic does not do Sportingbet.com.au justice.

 

PS, Racing Victoria not only did not acknowledge my complaint against
Centrebet's refusal of MBL bets, but did not even reply to my request of
acknowledgement of the complaint. 

We all know, or should know, whose side those tasked with protecting punters
are on - the corporates, not  the punters, the corporates, not the on-course
bookies.

 

Amazing what being treated to the corporate boxes does to one's principles.
