Put a trio of cash bets on antepost at my local betFred. Got 33/1 for Jonbon champion chase. I asked twice to clarify price and was reassured it was 33/1. Have the wheels fallen off jonbon, or have I snuck in a cheeky one?

Given you the Gold Cup price by mistake I reckon.
 
Aye, your average member of staff in a bookies won't know what the Champion Chase even is. How clear is your slip?

Anyone having issues with the 365 app? It’s not been working for me for hours.

Not right now, but I've had issues on a regular basis, both on the laptop and phone. Not necessarily at times when you would expect them to have a lot of traffic.

Check your app store for an update or you may need to manually update the app. I have a new B365 app on my android phone that I had to manually install 2 weeks ago to replace the old one. Betting apps are a little funny, sometimes they don't automatically update and not supported on IOS or Google Play app stores
 
I know that some were admirers of Firestep a couple of years ago so a note that his half sister, Lightfoot Lady goes in the 15.55 at Worcester today. Like him, she's clearly talented but possibly fragile.

Great to see Jack Kennedy back riding 3 for Gordon today at Cartmel, Hopefully a winner amongst them.

Hills no longer let you bet ante post at the counter, they send you to the machines which are linked to HQ so limits can be automatically applied and of course mine got rejected, thankfully a helpful assistant broke bets down into amounts that were accepted but I'm guessing not every Hills will have helpful assistants.
Be warned....

I found out in March , that it's not so easy to collect another shop's betting slip ., at Will Hills .
Thankfully i also bumped into a Helpful Assistant . He saved me having to go on a 60 mile round trip .
Apparently , They are obliged to pay out their own shops customers first ., and if there isn't enough dollar there .
You have to go to the Shop where you made the Bet. :sour::lemo:.

That’s staggering.
But of course the spurious rules they apply these days about having to pay you out with the same method you placed the bet doesn’t help.
And if you have a bet whilst on holiday, or Hills shop on course, there’s a real chance you have to go back there to collect ?

I'm sure it's possible ., To be fair , i was picking up a decent payout ,. so if it's a relatively small amount , should be o.k.??.
 
Whilst we're discussing how good a bookie hills are i was in Spain for royal ascot and put a few bets on with them which all lost, if i tell them that i was betting whilst out of the country then they'll obviously feel the need to give me my losings back, i presume ! :welcoming:
