I made 3 months salary on Michael D.
Unreal. Youâd want to be some sick fucker to work for that crowd.
Fuckin gangster. For all their talk they just show they are no better than the rest of them :mad:
Interesting case that. I see he put on close to 5k in combination bets on the race and the fav was stone last.
If heâs putting on 5k in combination bets then they should give him his $75k, he wonât be long giving it back to them.
Or did all his combination bets, have the favourite excluded from them I wonder?

70k greyhound punt case takes twist as stewards step in.
by: Nathan Exelby From: The Courier-Mail August 31, 2012 12:00am
A CASE involving allegations corporate bookmaker Bet365 refused to pay Darwin punter Steve Brunker $70,000 he claimed to have won on an Ipswich greyhound race last month has taken a sharp twist, with Racing Queensland stewards investigating the race in question.
Mr Brunker, who said he had outlaid $4992 on the July 27 race, featured on Channel 7âs Today Tonight last week claiming Bet365 had failed to honour a winning First4 bet, which requires punters to select the first four greyhounds across the line in correct finishing order.
Mr Brunker claims he had invested five units on the successful combination, which returned a dividend of $14,632.60, meaning he would be entitled to a payout of $73,163.
During the race two greyhounds - the $2.50 favourite Finished Forcer and $11 chance Octane Moment - refused to chase the lure, which effectively ruled both out of contention.
This month, Mr Brunker told The Northern Territory News: âIt was the biggest bet Iâd ever laid. Iâd just got a tax return and thought Iâd have a good bet. I was lucky. I thought I had fluked a windfall.â
Instead, Mr Brunker claims Bet365 closed his account and has so far refused to pay the full amount.
Following heavy criticism on racing forums, Bet365, one of the worldâs biggest betting companies who have only been active in Australia for a short time, released a statement relating to the matter.
âFollowing a stewardâs inquiry immediately following the race, two dogs in the race in question, including the favourite, were subsequently suspended for 28 days for âfailing to pursueâ and Racing Queensland are conducting an integrity inquiry into the race,â the statement read.
RQ chief steward Wade Birch confirmed there is an investigation into the race, with a key element being
the dogs which âfailed to pursueâ, which are trained by Jonathan Daniel (Finished Forcer) and Andrew Wilkinson (Octane Moment).
âOur investigations with Greyhound Racing New South Wales lead us to believe both of those greyhounds are kennelled at the registered property of Matthew Brunker,â Mr Birch said.
Stewards are investigating whether Matthew Brunker and Steve Brunker are related.
Darwin-based Steve Brunker failed to return calls from The Courier-Mail yesterday.
The Northern Territory Racing Commission (which licenses Bet365 in Australia) is also conducting inquiries.
Bet365 have said they do not know when the inquiries will be completed and pending the outcome, it will be unable to comment further.
So the stupid prick had combinations done with every dog except his own two? Then goes crying to the media. What a dope.
Boyles have just refused to take a âŹ10 ew double on 4/1 and 7/1 shots from me :lol:
Boyles. :lol:
They refused a âŹ1 test bet on a 5/1 shot i tried the other day. Theyâre just a joke, if youâre making any bit of profit they just donât want to know about it.
Why do ye persist with spoylesports? There only an outfit for down and outs and students to blow there last fiver.
Eh, we donât persist with Boyles. If they are top price something i would like to take it, same as any other bookie.

Sure they can be best price all they want if theyâre not going to lay the bet. I reckon their staff are trained to be ultra cautious.
I tried opening an online account with them before to get a discount on an Ireland jersey, went through the whole setup, and then the account was closed straight away.
.
Why was it closed? Had you had any bets with them besides getting the free jersey?
They are fierce anxious to close peoples accounts and they do it too early. I only had my account a very short time and only had a few bets. They need to give people more time so that they are able to make a better judgement on the account. Not everybody is going to get the better of them despite a few early winning bets. Itâll be their downfall. Eventually they wonât have any customers as theyâll close everyone down and they will suffer from the negative publicity that it brings. For example if i have an opportunity to go on tv or on another public platform i wonât need much of a chance to stick the knife in them. So they are making many enemies for themselves, people who might have contacts in the media or in the industry who are in a position to bite back.
