It was a proffessional bet that could not lose as they covered every horse in the four races. Its very clever. In my mind once the bookie excepts the bet thats it they should pay up. The T&Cs cover everything and gives them a reason not to pay out for almost every scenario.Hope she wins her case.

There were 8 horses in the 7.20 Kempton, 10 in the 18.10 Bath, 11 in the 19.00 Naas and 16 in the 20.30 at Naas. Just cover all the possible 4folds would be over 14,000 bets. In the article it said they covered 12 horses in the 4 races. What is interesting is trying to work out why they picked these horses, there is no link as far as I can see. I hope this comes out in the case. Here are the results from that day. Can anyone work out the link?

Due to the overound, there is no special combination of horses you can bet on to ensure a win.

Yes, I would have more sympathy for bet365 if the implication was that this group somehow cheated, knowing that some of the horses would under perform, hence betting on combinations of the others. Syndicates and individuals bet on elaborate or unusual combinations all of the time though and so the bets may very well have been based on knowledge, skill or luck rather than anything untoward.

Oh I bet they're very happy to take anyones money when they're losing, but not when it comes to paying out. Bookies are like Insurance agents, happy to take the money but bitter losers. So the 'syndicate' covered the bets to ensure they couldn't lose. That to me, sounds more like a failure of the bookies themselves to properly calculate probabilities and outcomes. I mean its not like Bookies do exactly the same kind of thing with odds, to ensure their own financial security.

Typical big business bookies way of screwing clients. Would think that if they have accepted the bet that they must honour it. I wouldn't be surprised if the 'small print' was found to be illegal as it discriminates against people who are unable to place a bet themselves due to disability, illness etc.

They covered a total of 12 out of a possible 45 that ran.

Normally they say if there is a palpable error then they can refuse to pay out (normally if the odds given were not the ones that should have been given). This case is far worse though as the rules may have been so small as to not have been noticeable. It should be an interesting case.

I've studied all the stats closely. The common link in all of those races is that all the runners had four legs and ate hay for breakfast. I'm off to put some bets on.

Good luck but best get down there many hours before the races so you can read all the bookies rules and regulations (and make sure you haven't borrowed a fiver off a mate).
