If ADV wins well today that 66s for nxt years gold cup would look very attractive, willie was thinking about elimay down that route lthe other year, so has form for this.
 
Hi all - not sure if this is the right place for this question, but was hoping if anyone had any advice...

In past few months I closed my current account from which my deposits were made through the year, and want to withdraw to my other pre-existing account, which I haven't really used to deposit. When on the withdraw screen on 365, there is a message saying 'we may need to contact you about your withdrawal as it may be split between payment methods used previously'.

I am relucant to withdraw given they may direct it to the old, closed account. Does anyone have any experience of this, and am I staring down the barrel of a myriad of complexities? This will be the same with Hills and Sky I assume who the same thing has happened in.

Cheers - for the mods, if there is a better thread for this, please move / delete / let me know.

Good luck all today! COME ON.

Yeah I think this is standard, they can only pay back to the method you used to deposit.
I had a very painful experience with Betfred on this whp insisted paying a chunk back to Paypal, and of course Paypal have withdrawal limits.
Battle through pal…

In the past I’ve deposited more with the new bank details and then withdrawn and it overrides the split payments. Not sure how much you’ll need to deposit for this to happen
 
…pop this in here, Double odds boost day with Hills.

Not sure anyone cares on this or not as an update, but having contacted support - 365 and Hills were actually really helpful and let me withdraw to my other registered card (despite having minimal deposits from that one)

Pleasantly surprised.

Davy deffo wasn't sore right? He deffo had a falling out with O Leary?

Yeah. I think Davy might’ve ridden sore before, particularly for a Gold Cup. He was fine on Search for Glory …

There’s a fair chance that you’re right Robith and if you are it’s a sad end to what was in large a very successful partnership

Maybe Davy shouldn’t of come back but I believe his intentions were good but the timing of his initial retirement was strange

It hasn’t worked out and O’leary is not short of an opinion and although they have had great success together they have not always seen eye to eye

Bit odd in the finish of the county tho wasn't he just hands n heels stuff :indecisiveness: maybe he was injured and restricetd upper body movement in some way hence him not using his whip much there
 
Am I right in thinking next years Champion Bumper will be limited to 4-5 yo? A good thing in my view.
 
How's everyone feeling?

I'm exhausted. It's a tough week that seems to get harder every year.

Tuesday was great with Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle both bringing the house down (I even managed to sneak into the grandstand to watch honeysuckle win). It was great to catch up with fellow FJ's to watch the Ultima. Not great that I had 2 pints of very expensive and flat lager to drink when I got back to my group:boxing:. 5 winners on day one put me in a strong position for the week, although Brandy Love pretty much ruled out any chance of a face spitter!

Wednesday was noticeably quieter on the course but the weather, and hangover, took the edge off it for me. It was freezing. IEP was outstanding, Energumene routed them, but the cross country was the highlight for me as two of my all time favourites battled it out up the hill. Galvin has to go close in the Grand National (albeit 12 months too late!).

It was back to Cumbria to watch the racing Thursday and Friday. Flooring Porter and ADV were the last legs of a few bets that got turned over and they would have made a huge difference to my week (both were worth 750 pts). As it was, had an outlay of 315pts and returned 688.65pts so happy enough.

I'm not sure I'll go back to Cheltenham next season - most of the group I go with are thinking of doing something different. Going abroad for it, or a trip to Newcastle or Edinburgh, are being considered. Paying nearly ?8 for a drink on course is one thing (having to pour your own too!), but we were paying that in some of the bars in town. Taxi's were charging us anything from ?12 or ?30 for the same 4 mile trip. It felt like everyone wanted to rip us off, even the lapdancers were wanting extra - so I was told! :confused-new:

It was great week but time to recharge the batteries ahead of Aintree.

My mood yesterday morning was a bit like the day after completing an exam. I was relieved I had no more intense studying to do for a while :glee:

Cheltenham profits meant all my credit card debt is now cleared, gave some away to my Mrs and my mum, and still a bit left over I'm undecided what to do with.

You’re right about taxis, was criminal. We had to pay 200 quid to get back to Cirencester which I think is about 15 miles away (there was 6 of us so needed a people carrier).
