Today I was infuriated by my accumulator as opposed to my Fantasy
team. My team did just fine, shoving me up into the top 15,000, with goals from
Kane, Hazard and Ivanovic as well as a good few bonus points scattered around.
But it was Skybet who wound me up. I
stupidly put a £1 bet on a four-fold accumulator including Hull and Sunderland
to win, and Leicester and QPR's games to end as draws, at odds of 851/1.
At half time, unbelievably, these results
were all coming in. I thought Hull would never hold out, so I frantically began
the impossible mission that was 'cashing out' with Skybet. They had some
'unfortunate' (convenient) technical difficulties which lasted until the end of
the matches.
After a quick Twitter poke I actually went and wrote a formal
complaint e-mail to Skybet, with absolutely no profanities, expecting they
might send me a few quid to shut me up and keep me happy, but instead I
received a response referring me to some small print about not being liable for
factors out of their control, like technical difficulties.
For most people, I guess this would be a
lesson in reading-the-small-print. Not me. No. I am now going to make it my
life's work to win as much money off of Skybet as possible.
That'll show them...right?
