I have had to put this thread on this forum in retrospect of the above bookmaker as they are becoming increasingly more fraudulent with their cash out feature and i am noticing it and experiancing it more and more frequently, a couple of months ago i stopped using them completely as they were becoming more and more unreliable and the crunch came when England played Equador, England were winning and scored in the second half i wanted to cash out as i didn't think we was playing well and thought the game would end in a draw when i backed them to win it would have been worth £100 to me but when i went to cash out the cash out option disappeared and i was never ever offered an option to cash out despite it being clearly advertised as a cash out match low and behold Equador equalised late in the 2nd half and the match ended in a draw and i lost on the bet.
On speaking to the company they said it was a technical error but i am now noticing it more and more over the weekend i backed Chelsea to lose and for the last 25 mins of the match a padlock appeared by the cash out option and no amount of money was offered to me at the critical part of the match Chelsea only needed to score and i bet you any money they would have reactivated the cash out balance and they would have offered me a ridiculous amount of money as they would only needed to score to equalize nevertheless i won the bet but again i could so easily have got done again !!
The Cash Out option on the IPL 20/20 cricket matches was also ludicrous with the option again not being available and being put on suspension at critical points in the game and this is at the hope that your bet loses which again happened to me a couple of times.
Betfair and Paddy Power in particular in the UK go to great lengths to advertise this feature and they make it out as though they are doing the punter a favour but believe you me i have now found out that it is anything but ? i even had a situation where i backed a tennis player and she was a set and 2-0 up and i got offered £5.60 more than my initial stake of £40 yet when she actually lost her serve and it went to 3-3 because she wasn't the favourite in the match the cash out option offered me less than my stake despite her still being 1 set up and this has been one of countless bets where this sort of activity is happening and Paddy power seem to be the worse by a long shot where sometimes they don't even give you the option of cashing out and it is always at critical points when the bet could go either way.
Very very disappointing and disgusting tactics being increasingly used by Paddy Power and Betfair you are either offering the feature or you are not and if you are going to offer it at all a realistic offer is the least the punter can expect because at the moment the punter is in a no-win position and when you speak to them they come up with all the excuses in the book for eg in the Snooker Aussie open they said that the Tv coverage was down that is the reason why it was being put on suspension but what they really mean is that we are trying to screw the most amount of money out of the punter as humanly possible and it is way out of order !!
