    Am I a saddo or is anybody else getting really excited about the race? I've used the SP bets and keep checking the odds which range from 12.5/1 to 160/1 on the horses I've picked. I should really be getting the cleaning done but can't keep off the Betfair website. Good luck everybody!

    Am excited, but going out this afternoon as it's my Birthday, so wont be able to watch - first time in years!

    Last time when the GN was on my Birthday, (when I was about 10!) I was allowed to choose a horse for my Dad to bet on, and picked West Tip which came flying home. Hopefully my luck will be in today too!

    I'm new to all this and have a few q's!

    I'm not yet signed up to quidco - can I open an account now and still get the offer?

    And can I deposit on betfair using my paypal account to get the free bet/cashback?

    Thanks :o)


    Quidco are pulling the offer at 3.00 according to their site so you would have to be quick.

    I suggest not using paypal as you will have to submit a manual earnings enquiry and may not be able to bet until you have had your ID validated. Use a method of funding that is not available to under 18s (ideally a masetro card as credit cards may apply cash advance charges)

    Hi,

    I have just sent an email with my passport copy to prove my age. Do you know how long they take to verify? Wonder if I will be able to place a bit before the race start.

    They have no hesitation in taking my money though, my 25 pounds is already in their account. I could not even withdraw it without proofing my age.

    I checked with Betfair by phone as I paid thru' paypal and need to prove my age. You can still place your bets and withdraw the £25 but you will be unable to withdraw any winnings until you have proved your age. HTH
  • thanks jessica - only have an electron so guessing I will need to prove ID/age, so would be same? :(

    maybe just get dp to pop to the bookies, lol
