On Friday evening I deposited R10k into my Interbet account for a rugby bet I had identified for Saturday morning in the NZ/AUS match.

I was nearly caught out on Saturday morning as the match started earlier than is normally the case in NZ.

To my dismay my account had still not been credited. A somewhat frustrating sequence of events followed which resulted in my missing out on the punt.

I sent a copy transcript of my interaction to Interbet; primarily in the hope that this kind of obstructive service from their online service centre would not be repeated.

I was utterly amazed to receive a call from Barry of Interbet today. He asked me what I had been planning to punt on the match & THEN ADVISED ME THAT MY ACCOUNT WOULD BE CREDITED WITH THE R5K THAT I WOULD HAVE WON. ( Trust me - I was not planning to back Australia).

I was certainly not expecting such a noble gesture; nor had I asked for it. But it does further cement an already cordial relationship that I have with this provider.

I wonder what the response (if any) from Saftote would have been?

I never suggested anything other than it was an appreciated gesture. I ,too, have had plenty of occasions when I have had to take it on the chin.

You'll usually find that your next big win dims the memory! Lol.
