I've had my £30 tracked with Quidco but had trouble on the Betfair site. Although when I was first on it it said free £25 bet, by the time I'd completed the registration this was no longer there. I've placed 5 x £5 bets but not sure whether I'll get the £25 back, although still up with Quidco. Was there a cut off time by which you had to register for the free bet?

I dont think you will have a problem with getting the free bet - they have made a big push of it this weekend so as long as you comply with the T&Cs of the offer you should be fine.

Can I double check something here?

I placed my bets last night (spread them as wide as possible, using my tried and tested 'like the name/like the colours' method, lol), all were matched and Quidco has tracked at £50 (yay )

Two of the horses I bet on now have negative values against their names, yet 'my bets' are still showing at the values from last night. Does this mean that if either of them win, I'll still get the winnings quoted last night, or will I now loose/not be bet?



I'm also assuming that if any of my horses are pulled before the start, that I'll need to rebet that money in order to still get the £25 back, even though it is all matched at present? Edit - and my £25 is available to withdraw now too, so I think this question is moot

Must admit, I didn't read the T&C's (foolish I know) so not sure what the requirements were other than depositing and betting £25 on the Grand National.

I'm trying to sign up to Betfair via quidco, but it wont take the promo code BFB425 which I've copied and pasted in. It says promo codes are 6 characters long (?). What am I doing wrong?

I want to make a "reverse forecast" bet, how can I do this?

tiff, that happened to me, i had a space after the last letter of the code so the site thought I had 7 characters, just check if there is a space

if I want to do each way, do I click on the 16.15 on the left had side that says "placed"?

check under "my account - current bets" and see if all your bets are listed in the matched section (drop down box). If they are all is well. If not are they in any of the other drop down selections?

If the horses are declared a non runner then if you bet on the antepost market your bets will have been lost (only the early birds got on this I think), if you bet on the normal race market then they will be voided and you can rebet if desired (as long as they void before the race of course).

Are you pasting a space too? - that can be a problem when C&P-ing codes
