Skybet offered some in play bet on “Shaqiri to have 1+ shot on target from outside the area”
Shaqiri took a free kick which the below replay shows Ruddy getting a touch to it before the ball hitting the post.

Sky are saying it’s not a shot on target…
And what they are saying it hit the post?
Yeah hitting the post doesn’t count as a shot on target. That was a save
Was there not a Corner kick given?
Nope. A goal kick given. End of discussion
Correct so even if replays clearly show a touch from Ruddy.
How is that correct? If it’s on target, it’s on target
Edit: I understand your point now, seems harsh but probably fair enough
I would imagine that anyone trying to claim payment on such a bet would be referred to the decision to award a goal kick.
Ya you’d be sickened if you had it on but you can’t blame the bookies for it. Congrats and best wishes by the way Mike
By their own rules the bookies are correct but they’ll probably end up giving it as a gesture of goodwill tomorrow to avoid the bad PR
Pressure on now!
im going to Boylesports for a few hours after work
Ill update as i go
This company made profits of £682m last year.
They have £1.8bn of cash on their balance sheet and Denise Coates is due to payherself £60.1m yet they can’t pay this person £1m.
Irrespective of the legalities of getting third party information from Skrill which I’m sure should be treated like bank information surely the claimant could say it was a gift or monies owed. How do they prove beyond all doubt that this bet was for a third party.
There are a lot worse ways to spend a couple of hours. Be lucky.
Lads, what’s the dead heat rules in racing? Half the price?
Half the stake. Same difference really.
How did you get on in Boyles?
Not the same difference. As I found out today on a 10-1 shot. A tenner going on at 5 to one is 60 quid. A fiver going on at 10 to one is 55e. Bookies win again, unsurprisingly.
