If they've settled a winning bet and it's showing in your balance and you then withdraw the funds to your bank account, can they retrieve it again if they realise they've made a mistake?

They seldom make mistakes. Are you sure?

I've worked the bet out and it doesn't come to anything near to what they've paid me
Can you give me details and I'll see if I agree with your amount?
Most of them do " best odds guaranteed" could it be that? I placed a bet at
20-1 once and it paid out at 33-1 which was the eventual starting price.

But to answer your question, no they cannot take money from your bank account and its very unlikely the computers would make a mistake. As Psybs says, let us have the odds and we'll see what we make it.
They can, however, close your account and refuse to do any further business with you.

Hi, I picked 6 horses and did them in 5p ew trebles, I got 3 winners 28/1, 22/1 and 12/1 and a 3rd in a 7 runner race @ 9/2 and 2 unplaced

The SP's of the winners were 66/1, 14/1 and 7/1 and the 3rd was 9/4

Normally a 3rd in a 7 runner race doesn't count but it showed up as placed in my bet, even so I can't work out how they come up with my payout

I look forward to seeing your results, Thanks
I worked it out as £433.55 ignoring the 7/2 in the 7 horse race. How much did they pay out?
Sorry, going with the SPs £408.48, just going to check my previous amount if I missed the e/w
If you were given Best price it would be £1,014.69

Thanks Pysbbo, would like to see if any others come up with anything before I reveal what it payed
I doubt the bookie made a mistake, no need to shift your winnings IMO.

Stoked 3/1
Crafty choice 7/1


AB inspired selections but they both won ;0)
your two horses that weren't placed Panky, did you check to see that they weren't NR's !! That could make a difference to your payout if they were
Question Author
They run Sam, unplaced
Great investment, anyway Panky
ok, just a thought !! I've been surprised a few times at the win counter all down to NR's
well done anyway ;-)

Also I've spoken to a friend who works in a bookies and he says online bets are worked out by a computer as Maydup said earlier and they aren't wrong
Please put us out of our misery and tell us
I closed my WH online account on monday. They sent me an e-mail telling me that due to the fact I hadn't used my online account for 24 consecutive months they were going to debit my bank account £3 every month !!
Good grief Sam, surely they can't do that!
Can't do it now sibs !! account is now closed. Was wondering if anyone else has had such an e-mail from WH ?
