I hear these stories about Irish and British bookmakers paying out early. Why do they do that? Has there cases of the bookies getting it wrong? They take a bath paying out winners and losers?

From the link:
“Paddy Power was giving 6 to 1 odds on Brexit up until the very last day, and they were wrong. “
Anyone know offhand if this is true?

I worked at a pizzeria once where 7 guys (including pizzeria owners) reneged on a bet with 7 other guys.
They were all mobsters.
Word got out that they were coming to the pizzeria and the manager asked me if I had their backs in a fight.
I said “sure”
There ended up being a sit down of the higher ups and it was settled.
But i would have FLOWN out that front door had there been trouble!!!

Doubtful. Could be selective payouts to confederates for publicity sake.
But I’ve generally found bookies don’t like to part with money so easily. I’m sure Irish punters are no different.

They saw some possible disaster scenario and decided to shut it down.

It’s the short money, so they won’t have to pay out on the longshot.

If the returns out to be wrong and it has already been paid out, does the bettor have an option to go back and claim their winnings?
