Yep

[glerwell]

I had a bet on the 2:45 and 3:40 and VC have kept the money as the they have been declared void. Anyone know if they can do this?

[vegyjones]

I very much doubt whether VC will keep your money Gler Ooo

I would be VERY VERY VERY surprised if they did!

You may find it deposited back into your account a bit later!

I seriously doubt they can do this. All horses entered in those races become non-runners and you should get your cash back (unless you had anything on as ante-post bets when you will likely forfeit the bet as you would with any other non-runner in such circumstances)

[glerwell]

I wouldn't be surpised it they did though. Around Christmas time I did a £20football trixie and 2 of the games were postponed. When I checked my account they had only returned £5. I queried this with them and they said although 2 games were postponed the bet trixie still went ahead.

[vegyjones]

That would have been right Gler.

The treble and 2 of the doubles would have all been singles!

Only the one double, involving both postponed matches, would have been returned!

[mathare]

With football it depends when the games are played. If they are played within 7 days of the original fixture date then bets can carry over to the rearranged fixture. Otherwise they should be declared non-runners and the trixie settled using the remaining number of runners, which in this case would have been a £20 single on the remaining game.

[vegyjones]

Is a trixie not a treble and 3 doubles mat?

[glerwell]

I have just emailed VC to ask why my stakes haven't been returned, as I would have thought would have been treated as non-runners. If they don't return it, think of all the money they would have made from all of the other punters in the same boat!!!

[mathare]

Is a trixie not a treble and 3 doubles mat?

Yes.

But if 2 selections are non-runners have you just one selection left. Ahh, I see what you're getting at. That £5 would be returned for the double on the 2 NRs and the remaining £15 would be a single (or rather 3 x £5 singles). Yeah - now I think about it that makes more sense as one of the bets didn't include the only remaining runner. Hmm, yeah.

[glerwell]

I also forgot to mention that when Matt Chapman anouced on ATR that Ayr has been abanonded he said don't forget to go and collect your money back if you had a bet on the later races. Thats why I was expecting my money back.

[TheOldhamWhisper]

If the bets are singles only on the abandoned races, you will get your stakes returned - this may take a while as they tend to 'settle' them at the end of the day's racing. IF the bets were multiples, the horses are treated as non-runners and the remaining bets treated as per the non-runner rules in the site Terms and Conditions.

[glerwell]

My bets have been settled but no returned money. These were two singles and not multipole bets.

[vegyjones]

Then Glerwell my man, you have a damn good case for getting on the blower
and shouting abuse at highly volumous (?) levels down the phone!

I can't believe that they would even try and get away with something like that!

[sparkyminer]

at highly volumous (?) levels

loud:D

[vegyjones]

Is volumous a word? :D

[mathare]

Is volumous a word? :D

You wrote it, what do you think? :wink

[vegyjones]

But it was mentioned as a word in the 1871 civil rights act!

Knew I'd heard it somewhere before


Glerwell - I've read VC's T&C, and you should get
your bet returned! (Even if it was ante-post!)

You will get it back! Or should do once they see your e-mail!

[glerwell]

After, two e-mails this matter has now been resolved!!!

[wb]

Gler, these things often take a few hours. sometimes, some bookies wont return any bets until after the days racing. The last race is at 5.00 at wolves.
If not, run amok :)

[wb]

you got there just before me :)

[mathare]

After, two e-mails this matter has now been resolved!!!

Glad to hear it :)

[Win2Win]

it was a fire in a shed that took 5-10 mins to put out!! So why the hell call it off....any reason these days for health & safety to get a day off.
