Free £25 Grand National bet

Hi, sorry I'm still a bit confused - how do I know if I've been given my £25 back? I have now got £83.25 in my account, from putting £5 on the winning horse (plus £20 on others). Following the formula I only get £77.25.
On another note, despite winning I will be chasing up betfair via Quidco as it hasn't tracked. Do we still get the £50 if we signed up in the limited window? Have they only downgraded from now?
Thanks
£77.25+£5=£83.25 isn't it?
And you will get the £25 within 24 hours, like it says in the first post. It will show in your account as a credit.
And if you changed the quidco signup code and it didn't track then you will not be able to receive any cashback from it. cashback is a bonus, it's not a guarantee.0 -
According to my bet, on Comply or Die, I should have won £22 (not sure if the odds change but they don't I thought). Anyway, the £25 in red disappeared, and was replaced by £49, so I assumed it was my winnings plus the £2 stake. I've withdrawn the funds already but am worried now that betfair will want something for their percentage. Will that have been taken out already?There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.0

I had a fiver on the winner to come first, and quidco has tracked, so I've made a whopping £105.87 for no outlay and no risk today. Fantastic, THANKS MARTIN!! :T :money:0

Unless you placed an SP bet, you will be paid out on the odds that you have bet.
When betfair settle the market, they will automatically deduct the commission, you can see this in your account statement . Click on my account then account statement.0 -
Great stuff. Didn't use quidco because I didn't think it would work (dunno why).
But, put the whole 25 quid on Comply Or Die at 12/1

Good Times !!! Set up account with betfair half an hour before the race, placed a few bets. Sat down to enjoy the race knowing that even if none of my Horses came in i would get the £25 back anyway.
As luck would have it 'Comply or Die' came good for me, and I'm £53.50 better off. Just got to wait 24 hours for the £25 to be re-credited and i will withdraw my 'not so hard earned cash'!
Well Done to all the others who backed the winner. Just don't get the taste for it, that's why they offer out these promotions.
Great spot Martin/MSE Cheers.0
