Mistake money

Sat Mar 28, 2020 4:11 pm

I have had the opportunity of this happening to me about 3 times and i was wondering if i didnt use it well or what might you do if it was you and how would you use it.

if you login into your betting account and find out that additional 100,000 euros has been mistakenly added to your balance. Now the thought will be to withdrawl it but that wont work because they will notice and take the money away. So what do you do to gain before it is removed.

I withdrew them..no problem, after i while the balance enters negative and they ask you for the money back (so it depends how much you value you're account). Only bet365 puts the balance on negative and after 1-2 days they put it to 0 (sign of goodwill).

How many years you are in the industry?Three times is too much.You must be more than 5 years.This has never happened to me.You are very lucky.Maybe bet a lot of  small amounts and then withdraw some

nothing to do with how long you are in the game. actually you just need to know how it works. then you need to be fast and lucky. nowadays before you try to withdraw (which is unlikely to happen), you place just random bets in the hope you win. this will be added to your account as real winnings (since you won). after they deduct the mistake balance you remain with withdrawable balance.

It sounds strange that this happen to you 3 times.I am a little sceptical.
Anyone here has some similar situation?Programs run by people,so a human mistake can be done.But i think when you go to withdraw they will correct your balance.

I have had many mistakes over the years, most are small and often they are corrected.  But 2 were never corrected.  Skybet years ago send a withdrawal about 15 times, and Pinnacle misgraded a a tennis bet. They were very nice paydays!!

well i have had it 3 times, last year i was over paid 15000 euros, i used it for 4 months and it was taken back. The 3rd case is still ongoing, i have been over paid 5000euros in my account and i am trying to bet all i can with it with hope that the winning will be left after the money is taken.

so yes, 3 times

Aren't you just gambling?
eg  i have an acct with 4k in it
    15k added in error, total in acct = 19k
    i make a number of random bets with total stake 2k
    i lose them all, total in acct = 17k
    mistake is rectified, total in acct = 2k

Dont be, the money is still lying in my account and i dont know what to do with it or even afraid to use it.

When i got the 15000 euro extra, luckily for me, i lost i all and i was happy. One month later, i continued betting and won about 16000 euros, 2 minutes later my account was left with 1000 euros. You cant imagine the anger and frustration i had.

If I was you i would do this:

1. Make a withdrawal of a big amount of money.
2. Try to bet money against the bookmaker to win the same amount that you already withdrawn.
3. Go to first step and repeat all the time.

I don't know if this bookmaker has poker, or other ways to bet, but i think that is not a good idea to involve other players in this case. If you lose your money against the bookmaker is ok for them, but if you lose against other player, the bookmaker could ask you for this money.

I don't know, it just happened for me once, and with less than 1000 pounds, so i retired all the money and that's it.

What will happen if he lost in the other bookmaker and win at the at the bookmaker with the mistake money and finally the mistake bookmaker decide "we will void all the bets due to mistake".Its a risk,he maybe be lucky and take the money but there is also this occasion

Maybe its normal to bet some small bets  in low odds(100-300) and then withdraw some  money .Act like everything is normal and bet normal stakes
