Hollywoodbets betting ****
To all punters in South Africa or internationally who ever gamble with Hollywoodbets. Please note that we as punter have a difficult time with bookmakers and we can't voice our opinion because no one helps us but the industry rely on us. I and many punters have wagered a bet on Sweden racing on the 3 May 2020 race 6. I placed a bet at the odds of 50/1. The horse won then i was refunded my stake which was 2 hours later. Before the refund I made contact with Devin Heffer who has a big position with Hollywoodbets. Upon our conversation he said he will hand the matter over to the racing team and then i emailed John would he reffered to me. I then communicated via email which was a dead end but then was paid out 2/1. I believe Hollywood ****** us as punters and tried to benefit from this in two ways. 1. Being Hollywood is hiding behind there terms and conditions. 2. Hollywood suppose to contact us if there is correction Or cancelation. Devin mentioned there were notified and corrected the error 10minutes before the race and under the terms and conditions they were suppose to call and notify us about the error but they did that 2 hours later which indicates that they tried to benefit from it. I further like to add that we as punters have no associations or forums to defend us so im asking the racing big guns to get involved and rectify this matter because I believe if you make a mistake you pay for it. So please help us as punters because without us the industry is nothing.
Please see Hollywoodbets response with regards to the Sweden issue yesterday.
ODDS PRICING ERROR - SWEDEN (VAGGERYD Race 6), Sunday
Hollywoodbets apologises for the incorrect pricing of the EVEN MONEY favourite GEENA JOURNEY from Race 6 at VAGGERYD on Sunday 3rd May 2020. This came about when our odds-makers got the pricing out of sequence after the scratching of number 4, AMOURETTE.
The error was unfortunately only noticed 10 minutes before the start of the race, and then corrected immediately.
By this time, several punters had taken their bets on the EVENS favourite GEENA JOURNEY, at what was patently the incorrect odds of 33/1, 40/1 and 50/1.
All bets taken at the incorrect prices were cancelled and re-laid at DOUBLE the 1/1 price i.e. at 2/1, as a gesture to winning punters. (The winning tote dividend ended up as a 6/10 shot paying R1.60).
Hollywoodbets cancelled AND REFUNDED all losing straight fixed win and fixed place bets taken on number 5 (SIOUX FEMME FATALE) at 1/1 (Geena Journey’s price) for those clients who took it on good faith that that horse was in fact the favourite.
Multiple bets that ended on number 5 (SIOUX FEMME FATALE) were also paid out to the punters who backed it believing it was the favourite.
We apologize to all our loyal customers for this unfortunate error, and would also like to sincerely thank the person who brought this to our attention.
