Punter left shattered after betting agency REFUSES to pay out on winning wager that should have netted him $10,000
- Melbourne punter Adrian Clemente claims BetEasy refused to payout winnings
- Mr Clemente had put a three leg multi bet on the AFL and stood to win $10,112
A punter has been left shattered after a bookmaker refused to pay out a winning three-leg bet that should have netted him over $10,000.
Melbourne man Adrian Clemente had placed a multi-leg bet on Richmond to win the AFL Grand Final, Dustin Martin to win the Norm Smith Medal and Jeremy Cameron to win the Coleman Medal.
After all three bets came through, Mr Clemente thought he was in line for a $10,112 windfall from his $204.06 bet with BetEasy, the Herald Sun reported.
But the betting agency never paid him out, instead offering him just $2,385.

Mr Clemente claimed he had contacted BetEasy twice to confirm his bet was valid before he placed it.
‘Twice they said ‘yes, 100 per cent. So I phoned my best friend and said ‘This is great value. Get on,’ he told the publication.
Making matters worse for Mr Clemente, his friend was paid out his full prize money of $5005 on a $101 bet using the same betting agency.
‘The only thing I can think of is that his payout would have been more. It’s exactly the same bet, made on the same day and the odds are exactly the same,’ he said.
Mr Clemente is now reportedly considering legal action.
Daily Mail Australia contacted BetEasy whose spokesman declined to comment.
According to the terms and conditions set out by BetEasy they ‘reserve the right to void and refund a bet if legs are related in a multi bet’.
The same terms and conditions state the maximum payout for a multi bet on a racing, a sporting event or a combination of both is $250,000.
