50/1 to win 1-0?

Apparently Town are 50/1 to win 1-0 tomorrow night, Surely this can't be right can it?

I know we'll be big underdogs tomorrow night, but that still seems rather generous to me.

16/1 with Coral so think that must be a typo.

16/1 with Coral for that. 14/1 for 2-1 Town.

Another OS member up then.

Could be genuine  

Vardy + Mangan have 38 goals between them.
Hearn + Elding have 35 goals between them.
Our two wingers Coulson and Soares have 24 goals between them, and Duffy will try to add to his 10 goals when he comes on.

Unlikely to only be one goal  

It was. I managed to get it on Coral at 50/1 but they have changed it now. Does anyone know how i get my £30 of free bets with Coral though? If 50/1 was an error will they have to honour it does anyone know please??

Difficult to say.
I went to arbitration over an "error" and lost.

Might prove helpful to read their rules but in general terms, it's at that discretion to decide what they like.

Tricky one to know what to do.
My guess would be they'll honour those odds.
But it might be worth contacting them to check if the bet is valid before the game starts.

If they say it's void at least you know before you win and they refuse to pay out !

If it is void then I guess you'll be refunded for the void bet and asked to place another before the free bet(s) follow.

Hope that helps but I'm only guessing.

They should honour them if its the same law as walking into shop and you see lets say a microwave and its marked 120 quid but when you get to the till its comes up 150 quid they have to honour it!

The amount of arguments I have had with staff is unbelievable...don't give in its the law.

50 to 1 Jesus haha 5 on that

That is an urban myth, there is no obligation for a shopkeeper to sell something at a mis-priced rate.  They can refuse to sell something if it is not the correctly intended price.

Interestingly as well, Bookies odds aren't legally binding either.  There have been several big wins on accumulators etc where bookies have only paid out a percentage of the winnings.

Usually Bookies and shopkeepers honour the prices but this is out of good-will and wishing to keep their customers satisfied, not the law!

I strongly suspect they would not honour that bet as it's clearly an error. Almost every bookie has something in their T&Cs about not paying out on obvious mistakes. If you win they will probably pay out at around the 15/1 being quoted elsewhere.

Correct, we have had a couple of cases at work a few years back where something in the shop was priced at £2.99 instead of £299. As you say there is no obligation under law that you have to sell for the lower price.

It is not surprising you have had arguments with sales staff because as others have mentioned that is not  "the Law". The price on goods is only an offer from the shop, no contract is binding until the goods have been paid for. The shop can at anytime change the price either by increasing or decreasing it before payment is made.

Some shops may honour the lower price as happened to me yesterday, I purchased an item with a "sale" ticket on and a much lower price, I didn't spot that they had charged me full price until I checked the receipt later on as I had made a number of purchases in the store.

I took it back and the item of clothing I bought had been incorrectly marked down in the sale and should have been full price. The customer services decided to sell to me at the sale price and therefore refunded me the difference but they were not obliged to do that.

Law or not its worth a moan as staff don't know themselves, in the end I've got items for the marked price when its wrong...

Bookies can hide behind a wrong price. I recently got Town @ 25/1 to win promotion (after the Cambridge win), that was the price before the game and they hadn't updated their odds so they have to honour it. Any obvious 'typos' don't usually work, recently there was a big kick off about a horse 'in-play' having huge odds to win even though it was leading race. Betfair said it was an 'intercourse up' and won't pay.

I'm tempted to contact Coral and ask them if it's an error, but as I haven't placed a bet myself I won't interfere with those that have.
If it was me I would though.
