Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

From memory last year didn’t Hills do the whole “Non Runner AT THE FESTIVAL, No Bet” thing? That would make more sense at this stage.

Even if it's that and not limited I'm all in. I can't believe that's the case. With the prices as they are ???
 
Yes, it must be that, although can't see that either now, apologies for interpreting that as NRNB, see if you can get your money back Kev

My mrs is manager at hills and goes to work in a couple of hours I'll ask her to ring up whilst in shop. Be interested to see what the case is.
Would be worth a trip out of town for me. I'd make them write in on the slip and initial it at the bottom if it is the case in shop.
They have to pay out that way.

I won’t be placing any bets til it becomes clearer, Hills prices seem to have disappeared from oddschecker.

Rang the shops area manager and they just called back to say there is no nrnb on any races at chelt. And no offer that they're aware of.
 
"If you wish to place a multiple containing a horse in the list with the same horse in any other race, please contact Customer Services for a Special Double Price. Bets void if your horse misses the festival"


That's the quote online though.
Void to me means bet cancelled and money back. But......

Clear as mud :highly_amused:
 
Win and EW singles and multiples – full cash refund If a horse is nominated for multiple races

What exactly does this mean?

That’s two different clauses.

“4: Win and EW Singles and multiples - full cash refund

5: If a horse is nominated for multiple races, cash refunds won’t be made until final decalratikns of final races that they’re nominated in”

Ie if you are 100% sure of target, lump on and you get cash back if they miss the Fez. If they make the festival and you pick the wrong race. No refund.

It's now come up on staff screens in shop under the betting In each chelt market. In small t&cs, Head office at wh genuinely know nothing about it or understood it when they were asked until I copy and pasted what you put up

I wonder how many people throw there slips away having been told nothing.

does this apply in shops?

I have my doubts because of this line - Customers who have been informed that they do not qualify for William Hill offers and concessions will not qualify for this offer.

It is in shops now where I am but genuinely only since I copied kevs message. If you do in shop get them to write it on the slip and initial it at the bottom to save a hassle when collecting.

Iv had that problem before when diddnt check emails and had no idea I diddnt qualify for certain offers when placing bets online.

Like you said earlier Scooby - anyone thinking about going round the shops needs to get it in written on their betting slips.
 
Just tried to 'discuss it' on the online chat. Wasted 10 minutes as the lady told me about the only ante post refunds being when a horse is balloted out and I should cheek my bets more carefully!

Got my back up so I posted the same terms and conditions as above that she wasn't aware of. She apologised so that's fine but then got cut off.

In fairness I might have wasted 6 pts on 3 singles today but should have read the full terms sc las they are ambiguous still.

I'll try and get two of them voided when I have more time
