Do you think they would void the bet if he owed them money?

I'd be furious, sorry that is a huge understatement!

This isn't some back street bookies this is meant to be a huge reputable company; they took the bet I would have thought that would be deemed a contract?

Pay day for the lucky guy I would hope......

He won't get his money. Palpable error is the term I believe. It stands to reason that this bet would never be struck. The odds of a white christmas all across the uk are not 700,000 to 1, anyone with any common sense would have guessed that. Still hard luck for him, hope he hasn't started spending it already. Just remember the bookies never lose.

If he doesn't get considerable compensation for their staff's incompetance then I hope Ladbrokes lose a lot of custom ..............

OK a friend has just almost fallen over laughing at my outrage as he is of the opinion that most people bet within walking distance of the pub and have short memories!!!!
