I expect there are likely to be withdrawal restrictions for anyone who wins; likely some kind of "bet through" quota (i.e. you have to bet the amount you have won x3 or x4 times). We'll see once the bets hae been settled, but if anyone does win, there is an easy way to "cash out" in one go. Basically you place a long-odds bet (e.g. 10-1 or greater) with the bookie that is likely to LOSE. You then go to a betting exchange like Betfair and place an equal and opposite bet (i.e. betting on NOT LOSING) there. In all likelihood you will lose the long-odds bet at the bookies (because it's a long shot), but since you have bet on the opposite outcome at the betting exchange, you will win there, and will be able to remove your cash from the betting exchange without any restriction, bypassing the need to fulfill the "bet through" quota at BetB*tler!
Sounds complicated but it's much better than betting through lots of money in an attempt to withdraw your "winnings" and losing it all in the process...

Most importantly, they're all back 'safe and sound'Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0
