One of my friends won 13,840 pounds today!! because of an error on the website. Apparently the Russian league was still available to bet on even after the games finished for few minutes. Lucky bastard.

Really? Which website? umpkin:

Actually it's more likely they will realise their error and collect the money back if they've already paid out. The chances are a big win like that won't go un-noticed. I'd probably take the money out of the account - but even then there's no guarantee they won't have to pay it back!

I once got away with a South-American match late in the night which was advertised at kicking-off an hour after it had. I lumped on at HT with a HT/FT bet and the normal win. Only made about £200 but more importantly got away with it.

Technically, it's still stealing.

It was "Coral". Dont bother to check for more errors, I've been looking around the site today, but no luck for me.

He already got the money paid out to him, dont think they would take it back. I think this error occured because of the changing time.

Actually you just reminded me because I spotted a similar mistake last year with Coral too. I think it was this weekend when the clocks go back here in England. I remember it was the Serie A night match between Palermo-Udinese (not sure!) and they were running an hour behind. I thought about placing a HT result bet before the market closed (i.e. the HT result was known). Only thing was I didn't have any money in my account and my bank account had money which was needed for bills days later so I had to pass.

Anyway - the lesson is Coral obviously are slack and have technical problems so next time there is a change of time...we need to search for these mistakes!

Do you think this mistake will happen again when the time changes one hour ahead? Or we have to wait another year for this mistake to happen again?

I'm not sure. But when you mentioned Coral it didn't surprise me and reminded me of my own encounter with them. The chances are they have let's say more technical problems in adjusting all their markets than others. If your friend gets away with it - then it also seems they have less chance of detecting it and/or taking action over it.

If anyone has ever cashed-in on a bookmaker mistake such as that it's inevitable they will spend future periods searching all their accounts for possible mistakes (i.e. the most exotic leagues). At the end it's a waste of time to be honest - you never know when a mistake will appear and if it will stand after.

Just keep Coral in mind next time there is a change of time.

Two tennis bets today. Both are pretty risky but there isn't much today. The double consists of close matches but expected winners (probably won't be easy wins). Verdasco is priced as underdog because of some illness/injury problems of late. But in 'normal' situations I wouldn't expect Llodra to beat a top 30 player. If Verdasco plays anywhere near to his best he should more than capable of winning.

Monday:
Almagro(1.45) x O.Rochus(1.60): 20.00 @ 2.32 (Gamebookers)
LLodra v VERDASCO: 20.00 @ 1.98 (Gamebookers)

Verdasco wasn't at his best so it was just a win and a loss and tiny profit.

Surprised with Grosjean losing and he may have been affected with an injury late-on. I'll see what's doing for tomorrow and post them in the morning.
