Yesterday, i noticed an online bookie was still taking bets on a horserace after the race had finished, so i thought i would chance putting a bet on the winning horse.
To my surprise my bet was accepted and i was eventually paid my "winnings". I know some people would call it cheating but i didn`t see any harm in trying to make a few extra quid.
I took the "winnings" straight out of my account but was thinking, could they now take the money back out of my bank without my authorisation and do i have to give it them back?
Thanks in advance

They can`t just take the money back, but they can take you to court to recover the money. They can also ban you from making future bets and probably get you on a bookies` black list.
Can`t blame you for trying, though. :D
