    wouldnt let me put another bet on

    No, I couldn't either. After the horse it just says "at" - the status hasn't changed to non-runner. Maybe the system can't cope with so many races at Ayr being cancelled and the earlier ones being ok.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know what this is? Unexpected points in my account, but no clue what for. Has anyone else got them?

    k

    edit..

    Oh, never mind, just found this on piggy site...
    "PiggyPoints are the rewards currency on Pigsback.com.

    On July 13th 2009 we made some changes to the way PiggyPoints are valued to enable members to easily compare us to other reward schemes. All existing PiggyPoints balances were trebled, as were all earning and redemption values.
    Pigsback.com continues to offer the best value in comparison to other online reward schemes; the changes made on July 13th 2009 simply mean that it's easier for you to see that you are getting more back with Pigsback than from anywhere else"

    Yep. Everything has multiplied by three, points-wise.

    Looks like it might be permanent. I guess they think that it sounds more dramatic to be winning 3000 points on the daily quiz.

    Edit: Yes - except the CTs. Still only 5. :(
