This 2010 WC, have produced 4 players tied as top goal scorer,
but I must say S-pools handling of Top Scorer payout is an
embaressment.
This is my case, I have bought a betting slip that D.Villa
will be top scorer at World Cup, at odds 2.35. But Singaporepools
paid out of 0.785 which means I had lost 21.5% of my bet. I feel I
got scammed with a winning ticket and yet losing money.
Have read other forums and 1 guy had placed bets on any other
player and D.Villa, despite getting 2 correct he lost 45% of his
money. Unbelievable the more u bet the more u lose, even if u are
right!
When I asked the counter why so little payout they just said
it's divided by 3 just like in toto, but when did a winning ticket
became a lost? Here is my take on this issue, how can Singapore
pools take my base amount and divide it?? Should it have been
2.35-1 = 1.35 then 1.35/3 = 0.45...so my payout would be 1+0.45 =
1.45?
By doing what S-pools did, what they have done is they take your
money when your wrong and take your money even when u are right. If
they had a bookmaker margin of 20% it would have been increased to
60%. So for every 10m of bets placed in this class they would have
profitted 6m.
Being Singapore's only bookmaker (monopoly), instead of setting
an example of fairness and integrity, what they have done is
purposefully to absorb the locals winnings by setting non
competitive and fluctuating odds, and now they have stooped to
taking money from winners. Looks like the fight against illegal
betting will be a long one.
Plz post if you find that the payout by "S"-pool is unfair, and
support that the amount should be settled by the above said
pattern.
Are you sure!!!!
WTF!!!
Have you checked the games of the rules....
If not you should have taken back the ticket and emailed
pools....
