General Chat

On The Fringe said:
I've been on the PP Live Chat this afternoon, and after the Operator "escalated the issue to the settlement team, and they have informed, as per our rules we would pay the maximum amount at the time".

I responded asking for clarity that they meant the "at the time the bets were placed" and PP confirmed this.

I have the conversation evidenced (screenshots), so if anyone has problems getting appropriate payout above ?50k from PP for pre-existing bets, let me know and I'll happily share the screenshots as evidence to support your claim.

I'm aware of all the recent developments, im just updating as promised with the email I was told I'd be getting as none of us seemed to know the specific date. The email says the original change in T&C's from 250k down to 50k took place in November 2022.

The 80% reduction in payout is a fairly major rule change, surely they would have been obliged to provide a policy update that all customers have to accept ?
They stopped liking me in 2008 so I wouldn't know, but had they communicated the changes someone in here would have picked it up and raised at the time, there'f no way on earth the shrewdies in here would have missed that.
Sounds to me like they never communicated it in which case it has to be a failure, and probably worth reporting to the gambling commission....

I get "we've changed our terms and conditions" emails from all sorts of people on a regular basis. Like most people, I can't be bothered to drill down to the changes so there's every chance that it could have been slipped through like that.

I understand the apathy from some, but there are plenty in here who check all the detail, I can't believe this would have gone unnoticed for 10 months...

Jamie Snowden on You Wear It Well - hurdling the decision then...

“Your Wear It Well will probably start off in that Listed mares’ race at Wetherby and we’ll work towards hopefully going back to Cheltenham in March."
 
Until he changes his mind again of course.

Could be a cracker if Skelton sends Kateira there en route to the Mares Hurdle as well
 
Hi all, sorry I've missed the last week or so, just catching up on the chats
Noticed Qualimita has been backed for the Bumper
What have I missed ?
Was something said at Gordon's day ?
Thanks

Nothing specific said from the yard in regards target, more so she’s likely to stay in bumpers per Gordon trends for her age

Every time this comes up, I get this image of Putin in his war room with his cronies finding out who the top tips are for the 3.25 at Sedgefield so he can roll it on to Constitution Hill for the Champion Hurdle. Sometimes I take it further and wonder if the war he started with Ukraine was actually a rage war because he was balls deep in Galopin Des Champs for the RSA a few years ago and that went wrong...

PS - I'm half Ukrainian so I don't believe any of this but it helps me to deal with the sheer horror and insanity of it all
PPS - Sorry for the political intervention, I'll end it now

Just looking through my bets and opportunities for topping up some I've already done.


Got to Envoi Allen and spotted this stat ...

In his career, including his one PTP, he's ran 10 times over a mid trip. He's won 8 !! 4 of which were Grade 1's. The only times he's 'lost' is when falling at the first in the Marsh when odds on (painful experience) and when running below par at Punchestown.

What a record that is.

Yano that scene where the SS cronies are breaking bad news to Adolf in a room and he’s flipping after each bombshell

Can imagine the boyles traders room looking similar at the Charles Byrne gamble last week

”Fuher… Anyway has been backed 25s into evens..”

“ah it’s fine it’s fine they are only a small outfit.. we are okay let’s offer an odds boost”

”Fuher….. Charles Byrnes is connected to the horses he sold it last”

”ah it’s fine it’s fine he has one of his own in the race it should win this handily we are safe”

”Fuher….. CB has withdrawn his own horse… before it even got here.. they had a box ready”

“….Ban everyone of them from the shops.. BAN THEM ALL”
