Yeah. This is for unused Free bets.

I have placed numerous bets with Free Bets which they will be voiding (and returning)

If I then don’t use these by 30th November. I’ll lose them.
but I fully intend to use them on something!! :welcoming:

I have just seen that refunds and free bets are showing as credits on my account Leman14 so your should be there as well.
I have the additional battle in that my account was suspended because I refused the financial interrogation and my debit card has since expired, and of course I can't register and deposit funds to enable a withdrawal because of the suspension applied.
Could be fun....

Correct. If you've watched lots of UTA you'll know DJ is a sentimental creature who will often follow the same horse off a cliff, then out to sea, then eventually, to the sea bed.

I don't know if this is a good solution , , but could you not put all your Credits and free bets into one lump and Put it on A.P.T or something else ,
running this week / weekend. ... give yourself enough time to cash out /collect before the 30th Nov. ??. horrible situation to be in.

THe issue is they suspended my account because I wouldn't comply with their financial checks, and although they've credited the refunds I need to have a value debiut card registered with them and need to have made a deposit before I can withdraw, but with a suspended account I can't register and deposit, nor can I place a bet !
I'll continue the fight, I'm not worried about the free bets but they are refunding me around 26 points of cash which is significant enough...

I've had all "cash" bets refunded.
Free Bets were refunded, but then marked as "expired" within minutes...
I'm waiting for them to come back to me.....

Are your Free Bets still live on your account and ready to use???

Yeah - I'll come up with a strategy to get some "guranteed" return. (Waiting on over 40 points of Free Bets to come back!)
Still plenty of time to use them - as long as the credit them soon!

I'm more annoyed that I had decent prices on Jonbon and a few others, which have now shortened massively and I'll need to now put at least double the stake on, to get the same return.

They are, but with a suspended account this isn’t possible.
I think the value is around 60 quid which I’d be more than happy for them to donate to the IJF, but I do want my 26 points back !
Best of luck getting yours resolved….
 
Anyone get their shop bet odds clipped upon placing when odds don't change online. I get "Apparently odds have just changed"

About a hour later, odds still haven't changed. Must be under instruction to adjust odds in shop. Annoying.

Do you use the betting office a lot? If so you might be a monitored customer. As they strike the bet they'll log it as your bet and it will usually be sent to their trading team for approval. If you are monitored because you are winning they might automatically offer you a lesser price or sometimes only SP.

Interesting. No I'm sure it's nothing like that, as I don't bet that often, just noticed last two bets cut for no reason. Same shop.

Get your bets on when it's busy. The monitoring doesn't kick in until its translated and once you've got your bet on you're good.

On the theme of Bookies having no Bollocks.
Has any of them proced up the Morgiana ?

Can't find one at the moment.
They usually get the prices well wrong, so I kind of don't blame them, but still.

Tricky one this year but if they go over board on the second seasoners then it may present an opportunity or too.
I'd read somewhere that Unibet wetn odds on Vauban, which is ridiculous.
But can't see it anywhere on their site.

Decs tomorrow anyway so they'll have to price up soon.

I've also been waiting for them to price this up. I'd like to back Teahupoo, not interested in him for the Champion Hurdle but think there's a bit of value for the early assignments on deeper ground. I'd imagine Gordon knows he won't be able to compete in spring so can see him stripped fittest of the lot on Sunday. If I could get 10s or bigger I'd be happy.
 
I'm a little surprised there's some of 20/1 left on Jeremy's Flame for the Mares chase. She's been galvanised in her last two runs and her ratings should be enough to have her in the thick of things. I know it's a bit left field putting a Cromwell mare that will be 9 when the race comes around but I think 20/1 is a nice price and I think her jumping is a lot better than Riviere d'Etels who I know a few like for the Mares chase.

I'd have a look at him also.
But if willie does declare 5 or 6 I think i'd want bigger than that.
 
Flutters, I’ve had similar experiences in past. I don’t have any online accounts and bet with cash. I have made friends with my local hills. Slip them a score when I win. Pizza.
they don’t need to phone through bets anymore and they give me best antepost odds when I put a bet on. Worth a try
