[AusRace] "We'll Bet You", even less than you imagined.

[Race Stats]

Len,
Interesting that they always have some software failure or technical failure which is complete rubbish.
The "most likely reason", either it happened or it didn't!
This is how these corporates get around the MBL.
If Fixed pricing were to be suspended, you would get that message, not the message you got from your screenshot and they admitted that "this was due to senior management's discrection".
So they are a bunch of liars not even willing to take bets and then pulling a  swifty when it's reported.
But it wouldn't surprise me if your account was closed soon, due to it "not being viable".
Sorry Len, but they'll try anything to stop you, and circumvent the MBL.

Phil,

Thumbs up to Racing Tasmania - their reply to me:
*******************
Thank you for your Minimum Bet Limit query for your Devonport bet on Jan 10th.

We have followed this up directly with Centrebet.

They have advised us that they do not see any restrictions on your account that would prevent you from betting to our Minimum.
They suggest the most likely reason was some failure of the front end to read the suspension of Fixed pricing.

I understand you have been able to place bets on Tasmanian racing following this so hopefully this was merely a one off technical glitch.
******************
Of course I believe the "front end" glitch as strongly as I believed the other fantastic yarns the Corporate parasites put as "reasons" - remember the "a fibre optic cable under St. Kilda road was damaged and as such resulted in some software issues" rubbish? PS, I got paid for that - Persistence paid off!

The important thing is Racing Tasmania's intervention has forced Centrebet to stop rejecting $100 bets at 2.35 in contravention of the law.

I would be interested to see the response of this one from Racing Tasmania

Tasmania MBL has been in place for ages.

Centrebet refused this bet, to win just $135 at 9:05am today.

Their reply to my query was:

".. this was due to senior management's discretion".

So, complaint to Racing Tasmania, and see if they back the wronged punter (as does Racing Victoria) or the rogue "bookmaker" (as does Racing NSW).

FFS, they won't risk $135 and are willing to break the law to avoid doing so.
