A punter is taking Betfair to court because they didn't settle his bets fast enough! He'd run out of funds in his account and needed the Grand National market settled quickly in order to back a horse he'd had his eye on. You can see what happens next.. Market not settled - No money - Horse goes on to win at huge odds! Of course, he says he was going to back it and we believe him. And oh yeah, he could have deposited more money (takes 5 seconds to do) to put the bet on, but he didn't. The full story is here.




That really is a touching, tragic story. I wonder who will play him in the film.

Atleast Betfair will pay you one day, unlike way too many "supposed" online gambling establishments I could mention.
