    I have just submitted a job I did for RE and this came up that I had to email them. Is this a new thing?

    Dear Retail Eyes,

    I have pleasure in confirming that I have completed the above number job ID ********.

    Please accept this confirmation of my invoice to you in the sum of £

    I look forward to receiving payment from you in due course, along with any other expenses incurred as previously agreed.

    Kind regards,

    Retail Eyes Auditor

    Then when I look at assignments, it has this:

    1 Active
    21 Available
    1 Assignment Query

    You click on assignment query and it says this:

    Your Pending Assignment Tickets
    Ticket ID When opened Last Updated Your Ticket Message(s)
    ****** 22/05/09 18:40:23 22/05/09 18:40:23 None

    Have I done something wrong:confused:
    We used to have to send these emails after each RE job, but nowadays I think the system only asks for this email if there's no receipt for the job. It's certainly nothing to worry about. :)

    The second bit sounds like a query (sorry it's been ages since I last had one :eek::p), so I'd send them an email about that.

    Has anyone did a casino lately?

    I was just wondering years ago you had to join each indivdual casino even if it was the same chain. Now I know that you can still join each casino, but can they not tie up your memeberships?

    TIA

    Hi all,

    sorry if this has been asked before but if your doing a bookies job for gyp. Does an each way bet count as a 1 outcome bet or do you always have to back a nag to win?

    No has to be to win-each way you're betting on three/four outcomes

    Gap, GR, Optimum, all paid yesterday, so it isnt any of them I would imagine

    When gap pay out, is this listed on your gap account? I'm probably going to be paid next month for the work i did this month, and would want to know the breakdown for payment of each job, as I've done close to 30 of them already this month, and of course need to keep track.

    Unfortunately Gap do not show which ones you have been paid for but you should get paid for all jobs done in April, so add all of them up and it if matches :T if it doesn't match (some jobs at the very end of month sometimes get missed) you will need to contact them or wait to see what you get next month :rolleyes:

    It just has to be a single bet - in which EW would be ok. They don't want you doing an accumulator (e.g. 4 horses, or a 2-1 score with the 1st scorer) as if it came in they could be paying you a fortune for a bet staked with THEIR money. E.g. OH just told me about someone in the bookies next to my office who put on a £10 accumulator & has won 273k :eek:. So, a £2 bet could have netted 20% of that :rolleyes:.

    My best was England winning 5-1, netted my over £80. Thank you Mr L 2405.gif
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    My instructions specifically said NOT each way this month (I realise we may be talking about different clients) so I'd double check with the MS company.

    Course you could always match bet it ;)
