Should the bookie be allowed to walk away from its ante-post liabilities, punters could miss out on thousands of pounds
It may be just six days until the start of the Cheltenham but there are no apologies this morning for bringing football into the discussion, since the details of just two bets with the now ex-bookie BetBright hint at the scale of the injustice which will be inflicted on punters if, as currently seems possible, it is allowed to simply walk away from its ante-post liabilities.
The Guardian has seen details of two bets placed by the same BetBright customer last year. The first was a £100 each-way double on Luton in League One at 14-1 and Lincoln in League Two at 10-1. The second was a £25 each-way Trixie – three doubles and a treble – on Lincoln (4-1), Leeds United in the Championship at 5-1 and Arbroath, in League One in Scotland at 6-1.
