Palpable error
Also known as: Palp, Palp error
A pricing mistake by the bookmaker — typically a misplaced decimal point or wrong selection — that's identified and corrected after bets are placed. Bookmakers reserve the right to void bets settled at a palpably erroneous price. UK Gambling Commission rules require the error to be obvious and clearly outside the normal price spread; small mispricings inside the bookmaker's usual range don't qualify.
