    opened up a Quidco account purely for the Betfair promo (I know..... :confused: ........it was something always meant to do but never got round to it before). Now, after I did Betfair, the £30 tracked straight away (dated 3rd April), along with another £4.80 for taking out a magazine subscription. Now I've just checked my Quidco account and I have another Betfair amount tracking at £50 :eek: dated 4th April, giving me a total of £84.80 tracking. Eh???! I'm assuming they'll catch on and not give it to me? Anyone else experienced this??


    Anyone have any suggestions? :confused:

    yeah, you've probably got my £50! :rotfl:

    £25 looks too low - what stake and odds did you bet at? edits - and was it to be placed or win?

    Wow, 3 out of 4 bets won!! Winnings have been received into my Betfair account but not the £25. Does this go back in to my Betfair account, or directy back to the bank via my debit card???

    Cheers

  • Jessicamb - you sound like a betting expert - what do you think?

    I await with bated breath your result as I have the same problem.

    Fatass - how did you work out your winnings were wrong? I'm a betting v*irgin but don't think mine looked right either. I had £5 each way on Comply or die. On my statement it says the "average odds" (which I presume is what they calculated it on) were 10.51 for the win and 2.78 for the placing.

    Would I be right in thinking my winnings should be (£5*10.51)+(£5*2.78)+£10 (my original stake) = 76.45? My statement actualy shows £56.43 (and commission is shown separately. Am I missing something?
  • The £10 I added was my original stake - is that wrong?
