The staff member filled in the teams and odds and appears she wrote down the odds for the opposing teams. I'm not 100% sure what the odds were "supposed" to be

someone else said post on the gambling board, but based on what you have just said I dont think you have a hope in hell of getting any different outcome

Hi,

Juventus (1/6), St. Liege (17/2), Petrolul (5/1), Nancy (5/1), Al-Ittihad FC (10/1), Al Nasr Riyadh (12/1) to win

well, it looks to me an odd kinda bet,

starts with a 1/6 and goes to 12/1,

methinks he meant to do six odds on,

Did your dad not notice the huge potential winnings when he got his receipt?

When he got home he realised how high the odds were and just said he'll see how the matches play out first.

You have no hope whatsoever of getting paid out at those odds.I take it all 6 teams were hot favourites. On average £5 accumulater paying £19.34 is ave odds of 1.478 per team where 1 is the stake . I take it £19.34 includes £5 stake?

Just except that no matter what you try you are not going to get the extra winnings that you thought was going to come, just move on with your life

Hi,

had a look at a football betting site, and looks like the real odds should've been 1/3 - 1/4ish, so the £19 about right.

Bit of a gunk though, WH could've made a goodwill (:o) payment of a few thou, would've been good publicity for them.
