AFTER the BetBright debacle, it probably shouldn’t come as a massive surprise to hear of another bookmaker drawing stumps, and once again 188Bet have taken the decision that ante-post bets are there to be cancelled at the firm’s sole discretion.

In the first instance, it needs to be pointed out that 188Bet have decided to honour ante-post bets which are due to be settled by midsummer, and that means they have done the right thing by dealing correctly with 99% of their liabilities.
