Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
This evening I placed a £10 bet at 40/1 for Dundee United to beat Hamilton while they were 1-0 behind. United duelly scored in the last minute and when returning to my account I found that the bet was VOID. However , the bet only became "VOID" at the final whistle/ United scoring.
Beware making any more bets at this disreputable site,,,,,,,,I was tempted with 10 minutes to play to place a bet of £500 on the dray at 3/10 to guarantee a nice profit. I KNOW FOR CERTAIN that this bet would not have been declared void!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely your betting slip confirmation is a contract of business, why would it be void?
I presume you have contacted customer care
off to bed and return home in 14 days aaaarrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ps mate, pm me your moby on fb and have a catch-up chat
come on sky sought it out,you must be losing so much business
Are you still able to see your betting slips with the receipt?
Yea this is a poor showing from sky..I remember the site that involves £3.65 payed me out on a non winning accumulator but as a gesture of good will they allowed me to keep the winnings..Im sure this site makes enough money off punters to pay out on there mistake here..And its good to see skybet best price on most cheltenham races looool..Big Bucks is 5/4 11/8 with most firms skybet are showing a very ballsy 5/6..
I kept trying to place a bet on Utd when they were losing and when it was 1-1 but the betting on Utd to win was suspended but draw and hamilton win were still trading?
Skybet is murder tbh. Rubbish odds and don't seem to offer handicap markets on matches that they don't want to. And also when you go for handicap bets in an accumulator the site doesn't recognise it as a multiple and only lets you put it on in singles due to an "error."
Then took the money back out of my account the following day without even an e-mail.
If I can get 6/4 on something that Sky are going Evens about, then its a no-brainer. I am going to use my accounts on other sites every time.
I reckon the oddsmakers at Sky just check everyone elses books before trimming the odds for their own markets.
MUST BE LOSING RAKES OF BUSINESS.
The O/P could have done his brains through no fault of his own if he did put that £500 on the draw to ensure a good profit.
Very poor.....
I've had a word with football desk and they gave me the same answer as the customer team advised on the night.Basically it was an error and they paid out on the actual price (10/3), paid out winning bets and voided losing bets as usual.
Hope that helps?
Sooner or later someone is going to type in 111/1 instead of 11/1, and with more and more betting markets nowadays this is going to happen more often.
On the flipside though, if I intended to bet a tenner on a horse and inadvertently bet £100, could I get my £90 back because of a genuine typo? I very much doubt it.
Of course what bigbluster and silentbob say is correct.
Also As said, human error can be got round by bookmakers.
As every losing bet I have ever made is due to human error ie i picked the wrong b...... horse I look forward to receiving all my money back.
At the end of the day there are good bookies and bad bookies, decide for yourself from the terms offered by Sky Bet and the way they behave into which category you would put them.
