I've done an each way super yankee with bet365 that pays ?975,700. I was obviously very careful not to exceed their ?1 million max pay out !

Maybe worth pointing out reducing stakes on yankees and similar to stay within limits means you’re also reducing the pay out if only some of the selected win.

Might be more annoying if you get 1 loser and get paid a lot less than you would have had you kept normal stakes.

I’d probably keep normal stakes and then it’s
probably worth doing the acca with a separate bookmaker also.

Yep, good points.
Have to say I'd always assumed the payout limits related to each bet which clearly isn't the case, so whilst reducing stakes to ensure that one bet keeps you within the limit makes sense should it land, and let's hope one does for everyone, any other bets you've had for that day are pointless.
I have several multiples with two legs on Tuesday and final leg on Wednesday, if the jackpot lands in the Ballymore the rest of the day is irrelevant if all your bets are with the same bookmaker.
As Q suggests, split the bet across 2/3 bookmakers if you can....

Power to the people.

Pleased I flagged it on here, and with friends, and one of my FJ friends took that onto Twitter and got a right Betfair backlash going.

Complete backtrack by Betfair, who are reinstating the 250K antepost limit

Well done to Topofthegame2021
"May he never be offended on here again."

Thank you my friend

PS: has anyone seen if Paddy Power have climbed down too.

Internal error - my ass.

Looks like he messaged the bookies first
 
Few of my life changers down. Although with the new max payouts maybe there's no such thing anymore :biggrin-new:
 
Was it even possible to cash bets out? Greyed out already for me at the time of the tweet
 
How odd. Assistant tweets a phot of him looking great on the gallops this morning. Nicholls tweets to say they are going chasing. Someone tweets him saying they are looking forward to seeing SAF too, to which he responds "OFS". Then deletes the whole thing. Weird.

Edit: Guesswork but under the same tweet someone asked about Ivaldi. I bet he responded to the wrong tweet and meant to say Ivaldi was OFS. His brochure says that Ivaldi has an injury ruling him out until the Spring or maybe even next year, so it fits.
