Great to see our Lord and saviour Wayne Harrison has found twitter. I don't know why any of us bother, he's got the game by the gonads.
 
…..Cheltenham today looking positive. 07.30 inspection revealed surface is fine below frost covers, further inspection at 10.30 when they are hoping the temperature has risen and they can lift the covers.

Yep. Very little frost on my windscreen this morning and above freezing now.

No chance though of racing at Punchestown Sunday sadly. Under snow and frosted underneath.

Thanks to those who mentioned Ferny Hollow being out for the season a few days ago, allowed me to cash out the very minor stakes I had on him prior to today's announcement.

​​​​​​They seemed to be looking to rearrange for Tuesday. Doesn't actually seem too realistic? I'm no weather expert

Was it mentioned a few days ago? Wish I’d seen it as I only heard when it was too late, oh well.

Don’t know if anyone has the answer to this but I’ll give it a go, if I deposit money onto my online betting account in the betting shop, can I then withdraw that money straight from the betting account into my bank account?

i know you can’t deposit money into your account using one card and then withdraw it onto a different card instantly, but I’m interested to know if you can do what I’m talking about above.

I presume you mean fund the account using cash at the counter? I'd imagine as a one off it would be doable, although if a pattern started to emerge your account would most probably be flagged for potential money laundering

Yeah that’s what I meant, I was thinking it wouldn’t raise as many flags as moving money between two different cards but it’s probably not worth it if it’s something I could lose my account over even from just doing it once.

I’d be shocked if you can.
I suspect every crack dealer in the land would be playing that game if you could…

I know someone who is a tradesman who every other month puts ?1100 on their loyalty card with an unamed bookmaker (just in case someone is reading we will say unamed) Places loads of small bets with the ?100 and withdraws the rest to card to avoid the tax man and he's been doing it for a good while.
