Grand National

Tried to do the matched bet upto £100 with B365 but sadly i couldn't as lazily paid with paypal and they wanted an extra document that i didn't have.

Ended up putting 25 Each way on Anibale fly Rathvinden and Tiger roll. £150 came back as 337.5. Can't complain at that but would have been nice to have the extra £100 to go on top of them.

I think as a rule the betting places prefer debit card deposits, but yes you certainly can't complain at winning £100+

I am just happy to be up even if only a little :cool:

Absolutely, i actually suggested withdrawing the money and putting it back in via debit card however the help staff said it would make me illegible for the offer. It now seems if i put another deposit in il be able to claim the up to £100 so will do that via debit card some point before the offer expires on the 6th next month should another event i want to bet on come up.

Very happy though!

Ok chaps, which horse/horses will you be betting on for today’s Grand National?

Think I’ll spread my cash across these three;
Rathvinden
Lake View Lad
Walk in the Mill

Rathvinden was on the nose, so nothing there. Walk in the Mill did return some of my cash, but still ended up ou of pocket. Oh well, bring on 2020.

I paid for 3 horses at my works sweepstake, 1 for me and other 2 for 2 co-workers who didn't have money on them, and one of them pulled Tiger Roll. He offered to swap it for my Folsom Blue but I refused ;p he later gave me £2 because he said it's a decent thing I did lending him a quid since I barely know him, and that's true'ish I've only worked there for 3 weeks. Bet he's not missing that extra pound he gave me now..

It is more the revolt from all the workers thinking it was fixed that I am worried about!

I remember I ran the office sweepstake for Euro 2904. I said to make it fair, I would take the last team left. Lo and behold, I ended up with 150/1 shots Greece, which the others found very amusing. That was until they somehow won it and I copped for the lot. Not popular in the office that Monday

I had Tiger Roll in the work sweep stake and may have taken advantage of the B365 offer and went heavily on Tiger Roll and Rathvinden. Not something I would usually do but it paid off this time.
