    Or just do the more obvious thing of spending on the CC and clearing the overdraft with the money you would of otherwise used.

    Could this not also be used as a form of Money laundering?

    Surprised they allow it....but I suppose if both cards are registered to the same address it could work.

    Most bookies also force you to withdraw your money onto the card you deposited it. So its unlikely you'll get the money put back into your current account.

    Plus as people have already said, I also do not know a single bookie that isnt considered as a cash advance by CC companies.

    Gosh so the bookies keep your money when card is out of date and not able to be used? No exactly. I have put money in and took out on different.
    But it was considered a Cash advance as you say
