    I used a CT code that came up going through Quidco, and I've already got my £25 refunded, so you should be fine Lilly.

    Ah that is the one that I used.

    Thanks for that that is brilliant! And it has already tracked with quidco, so I am pleased!

    Phew what a releif, my OH would have gonen mad if I had just spent £25 on betting! Especially as we bought a house on Monday!

    So now fingers crossed for a win!

    Thans again!

    Don't touch Betfair with a barge pole!!! My son has had enormaous trouble with them and they even froze his account, without warning, keeping £390. There are so many loopholes for them in their terms and conditions that they get you every way. It's also very complex to get your money out of the account; they debit your bank account straight away to place funds in the Betfair account, but it takes over 5 days to get any money out of the Betfair account.

    Be warned!!!!!

    :confused:

    They dont freeze accounts for no reason.

    So far everyone is getting their £25 and the £50 or £30 back from quidco. I think scaremongering is the last thing people need. I know you are only trying to help ;)

    Martin(MSE) has spoken with betfairs press officer and has been assured. So thats good enough for me :j

    I clicked withdraw money, entered the amount, entered password and then clicked submit.

    Done! Easy!

    It will take up to 5 working days as that is how long it takes with all transactions of this kind.

    There is no tax on betting nowadays! Shows how long its been since you had a bet.

    lol, you're right :D

    That said, Istill can't place y bet via the National Quick Bet as I just get error on page. I've updated my details to confirm my age.

    PITA to be honest.

    Hi Lalamb

    I have done is it states :-
    Bet Status: Starting Price (SP) bet odds and profit will show when the event starts
    Starting Price (SP) bets
    Your SP odds and profit will display at In-Play

    Any ideas if my bets are matched or if indeed they need to be matched if you have placed them to win?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    All i can do is what I have already said. Sorry! :confused:

    Go to the grand national betting page and on the right hand side there is "Place bets", "My Bets" "Rules" "Help"

    Click on "My bets" and your bets should be there.
    Above this there should be something that says bets successfully matched.

    just had the same thing happen to me :confused: dont know if ill qualify for the £25

    the odds you have requested are not available
    go to the market > my bets > reduce odds and re submit
    I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something
