Following an interview on FIVEAA Breakfast with one gambler who would have won $15,000 on the voided bet, David Penberthy said during Wednesday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe office of Business and Consumer Affairs has contacted us and said they would like to speak to this gentleman and other South Australians with a view to launching an investigation into whether Sportsbet has breached any kind of consumer laws in changing the odds the way it did\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe office of Business and Consumer Affairs — if you are out of pocket — they have contacted us and they have a keen interest in this and they would love to hear from you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Earlier Shane Wood said he was taking legal action after the company cancelled his $100 multi bet across the AFL round regarding players getting 40 or more possessions.<\/p>\n
He told FIVEAA he would have won \u201cjust over $15,000 if they had respected and allowed the bet to go through\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI put the bet on early in the week at just over 150:1. Then they must\u2019ve realised the vote for no touches was getting quite a few bets put on and they were trying to balance their books and started lowering the odds to suit themselves\u2026 then eventually they\u2019ve voided my bet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe odds that I saw, there was no blatant error. There was no excessive odds or anything like that. They were basically just trying to get them out of a tight spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be leaving them. If they\u2019re going to disrespect the punters like that and not have any integrity and honour a legal bet and try and fob us off with bribery money\u2026 they\u2019ve admitted fault for what they\u2019ve done\u2026 they\u2019ve got a history of mucking up. I\u2019ll definitely be looking for elsewhere to take my business.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve put an online complain with Sportsbet but they haven\u2019t responded. I think they\u2019ve shut down the doors and think if they don\u2019t talk about it it will go away. But we\u2019re going after them legally. Absolutely. If they think this is going to go away jus because they put the shutters up they\u2019ve got another thing coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
