If they can do it there, whats the issue here, bringing in the same law.

Bet365 have been ordered to unrestrict Spanish customers after the Betting giant loses a two-year case over legality of account restrictions in Spain

A Madrid court ruled last week that account restrictions were a form of discrimination and detrimental to consumers.

:highly_amused::highly_amused:

I don't think it will get overturned over here! So many bookmakers restrict accounts here, it would cause havoc for the industry now IMO.

However I do actually believe they shouldn't be able to pick and choose their customers, you are either a bookmaker for everyone or not one at all!

Great stuff, would love it if that happened here. Lost Betfred last week, no email, no restriction, nothing, just couldn’t log into my account. Thought it was a technical issue so called customer service who said account had been closed with immediate effect and balance had been was been sent by my bank account. All for a few winners on the golf. Disgusted by the way this was undertaken

That is appalling, no excuses just unacceptable.

FWIW - I had a big balance with Fred (which I was hiding from the wife!) but even after I was restricted I left it in there, a few weeks ago I saw a message on their website that funds are not protected and with the turmoil all High St bookies are in I panicked and hit withdraw.
Anyone holding similar balances I would suggest does the same...
 
A sub forum with everyone’s antepost diaries purely listed as bets and the dates placed would be my preference with the reasonings either placed on here or on the individual race threads
 
Cheltenham Festival scorer Blow By Blow and multiple Grade 1 chase winner Valseur Lido feature among the 31 lots catalogued for the annual Gigginstown House Stud dispersal at this year's Goffs UK September Horses in Training and Yearling Sale, which takes place in Doncaster on September 17-18.

Blow By Blow won last year's Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle as well as the 2016 Punchestown Champion Bumper, while Valseur Lido's Grade 1 trophy haul includes the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse, the Growise Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown and the jnwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal.

The duo will be joined by other household names to have carried the maroon and white silks including Grade 1 hurdle winner Prince Of Scars and Kerry National runner-up Arkwrisht, as well as A Toi Phil, Ball D'Arc and Tombstone.

The annual dispersal has been the source of future talent such as subsequent Maryland Hunt Cup winner Guts For Garters and smart handicap chaser Folsom Blue.

View sales catalogue

The September Sale will see 101 yearlings offered from 1pm on the first day, with 256 horses in training to come under the hammer from 10am on day two, completing a line-up of 357 horses.

The yearling session, which has been moved from its previous date at the Goffs UK Autumn Sale, includes the progeny of sires such as Cable Bay, Gutaifan, Lethal Force and Twilight Son.

The horses-in-training session will offer sizeable drafts from Shadwell and Paul and Clare Rooney featuring 19 and 16 entries respectively.

Recent winners from Shadwell's draft include Khafeef, Raphael, Ustath and Jilbaab while Paul and Clare Rooney's draft will feature Who's My Jockey, Must See The Doc, Nimby and Now Look At Me.

The sale will also offer last-start bumper winners Don't Bet On It, Flying Risk, Druim Samhraidh and Spark To A Flame.

Goffs UK managing director Tony Williams said: "The sale will offer yearlings for the first time this year as we decided to move the session away from our Autumn Sale in order to provide a better date for our consignors to offer their horses.

"The yearling session will start at the later time of 1pm on the opening day, thus allowing buyers plenty of time to inspect the horses before the sale starts.

"The horses-in-training session looks well poised to continue what has been another very strong year in the ring for our horses-in-training sales with some large drafts from leading owners and trainers - those of course headlined by the Gigginstown House Stud dispersal, which has developed into an annual highlight."

Taken from the racing post.
 
Jamie Codd in Paul Fergusons Jumpers to Follow (free mini sample) regarding Envoi Allen

...he is a 3 mile chaser in the making but hopefully he can develop into a leading contender for the Ballymore this season having strengthened up nicely over the summer. He looks great at the moment and is very exciting

As most people would expect but first namecheck of the Ballymore for him
 
Regarding Envoi Allen - What are the biggest prices people have taken for the Ballymore specifically?

He's only "any race" for me.


Not many Champion Bumper winners go on to win at the next years festival :devilish: They all go off mighty short though!

Not sure he has been bigger than 14/1 for the Ballymore. I can't how he'd be quick enough for a supreme so it's either Ballymore or Potato race in my mind.
 
He’s one I’ll back the following season over fences rather than this upcoming season.
 
Malone Road back in training so youd imagine that will be their Supreme horse and EA the Ballymore

The rumours of him flying over his first lot of hurdles are already circulating. Was it a work day at Elliot's yesterday? Anyway, I'm guessing that the 20/1 will soon be a distant memory.
