Would also consider if you want cash or paid to a card. Walking up with a ticket for several thousand and wanting cash is going to cause several issues, especially as most firms don't account for their Self Service Machines. Getting it paid back to a card is generally easier.

With a voucher from a machine I doubt they'd pay back to a card if its a high amount, anti money laundering policy wouldn't allow it.

Someone could put 2000 in the machine in cash print the ticket then have it put on a bank card? Highly unlikely

Potentially, but not hard to check the back office and see it was a collection of bets.

Not had a problem having it back to card the last two years

Collected £1000+ from my hills bets both times

It's the wild west with the sbt machines, no one checks anything. I always think when using them this would be a great place for some illegal activities. If you're that way inclined. Which I'm not obviously.

I thought that until yesterday. My mate went to use the machines in my local hills and the lass working there told him he can no longer use them and is restricted to max bet of 25 quid. It turns out the cameras in the shop picked him up using the terminals when they identified suspicious betting patterns. They'd sent images to the staff and have put the block on him.

He's isn't the kind of guy that bets in hundreds and the average bet size would probably be fifty quid or so.

JP bought it’s on the line as well as meeting of the waters
 
Anyone know if hills have refunded any non handicap bets yet?
 
Despite all the negative stuff, and there's been plenty, we are now most likely going to be served up with the first two races, the Supreme and the Arkle, as two very competitive events, although their competitiveness has affected both the Gallagher and the Turners. Oh, to be back to just 3 days.
 
Education request. Can horses be supplemented for Handicap races between now and race day/time ?
