How did you pay the money into Betfair? DC, CC, BT or Paypal?

£25 via Visa debit card.

And then £2 via credit card to confirm age.

I have placed £25 worth of bets balance is now £2

I placed my bets on at 3.30 and quidco have tracked £50, I copy and pasted Martins code in the box. Told my sis about this too as she always bet's on the Grand National so she very happy too.

That's fine. The £25 will go back in. It isn't immediate. It took 12 hours for my £25 to go back in, and it's taken longer for a few others.

It may be worth noting that if you use the quick bet system, it does the bets at starting price meaning they won't be matched until the beginning of the race. The £25 only pays back into your account once all the £25 bets you've made have been matched, meaning the credit should happen tomorrow after the race!? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Ok, thanks. Its just some people seem to think it should be instant and I am worried that I have just blown £25 on a few horses. I do like a bet every now and then but only a a few quid at the most. So my fingers, toes.......are crossed!

Quidco is tracked though, so thats something :j

Yes if you the quick bet system you are placing Starting Price bets which will not be matched till the off, Betfair say they will refund within 24hrs of the race finishing.

Argh, you're lucky! I paid with Paypal so Quidco being as reliable as it is, hasn't tracked it.. so I'm probably going to have to chase it up next weekend! :rolleyes:

I don't think the tracking when using paypal is as good but I'm sure once you chase it up it will go through.

Prob a dumb question, but can i now sign up with Paddy Power (done fairbet earlier) i am persuming that it will be ok, as i think both are different companies, but thought i would check with you Pros first, dont want to lose my £50 because im being too greedy, as well made up with the £50..
