Could someone define what is an 'outstanding bet'?

  • I’m having a bit of trouble with a particular bookmaker with trying to cancel one of the bets I mistakenly placed with them. They say that I can only cancel an outstanding bet. The bet I have placed is still open and the event hasn’t actually taken place yet.

    Would anyone be able to confirm for me if this bet is ‘outstanding’ or not and why?

    Thanks

    Have you looked at the bookies general terms and conditions, they may well define what they mean by an “Outstanding Bet” in there. I think there is a good chance they will provide information on why they might cancel a bet. Bookies don’t usually cancel bets unless it’s their fault (palp errors) so I think you will be very lucky if they will for you, unless you can find something in their T & Cs that could help you.

    I’d imagine it might only relate to bets that can’t be fulfilled. Match abandonment etc.

    Is there any way you can lay it?
