    My heart says put it on Amir :D


    Have you seen the odds? When I looked earlier, a £2 bet would have got me £0.10 if he wins - 10p! then, minus commission charges I would have been down! I did try and look at it from the other side - rather than bet on Amir winning, bet on the other guy losing - but I read it that I would have owed the bookie £33 if I'd have lost that one??? I'm not normally a betting person, so I could have easily got confused and read it wrong - best to just take my money and smile (well, run round the living room shouting "OMG OMG I WON I WON", then frantically texting everyone in my phone :rotfl: )

    I'm off to choose a whistling kettle for my caravan now, which I shall buy with my winnings - I know how to live the high life you know! ;) :rotfl:

    Good luck to all who have money on the fight though - I would cross my fingers for you, but may spill my vodka.....

    However if i go down to "withdraw funds from Betfair" it will only let me withdraw £25 why is this? Or have a i missed something
    Well I withdrew £84/10 without any problem whatsoever. Going to Paypal so not a problem.
    If you are limited to £25 you probably paid by Mastercard, and they will not let you withdraw winnings to their card. You'll probably have to set up bank details, or ask for a cheque.
    (BTW - I changed the Promo code to the one supplied by Martin and it did not track in Quidco. Still pleased with my winnings though)

    I deposited with £25 from my BOS debit card... Got my £25 credit back within minutes of placing the £25 of bets on the national.

    Currently have £53 in my balance but will only allow a withdrawal of £25.

    I used a mastercard credit card to confirm costing £2.
    I used a visa debit card for £25.

    Why would they pay it on to my Credit Card?

    Pointless phoning today, during what's probably their busiest few hours of the year. You're bound to be on hold for ages. Their email help is pretty good on turnaround time, I'd do that or call tomorrow when it will be a lot less busy.
