Betfair

chump

I'm thinking of setting up a betfair account for chelt and in general, just wondering does anyone have an experience with it?

Most inportantly what's are the withdrawal methods?
I've a stupid mastercard which stops funds being placed back on it, so just wondering if I'll have to fork out large amounts for fairly small wagers...

?

Chump, are you familiar with the merrion casino?
You can open a betfair account in there, and pay in and take out in Cash, plus they have SIS which is handy for in-running bets as its 3-4 seconds ahead of Attheraces. Only thing is its hard to win money laying them.

But im not sure.

If you don't know then just STFU.

Any more inflamitory comments like this little gem above and you will find yourself serving a 1 week ban. Do it again and you will find yourself completely banned.

I use a BOI laser card with my Betfair account for deposits and withdrawals.

Just in addition to that, I think you'll have to open a new account. Then when you have traded at least €50 euro, you will receive another €50 free.

You can get a cheque sent from Betfair if you want to withdraw, there is no charge for it and it only takes a few days to arrive.

As healio said they do sign up offers, so have a search on the web for them. You have to get an offer code, they are usually available from partner sites.

The best company for liquidity in 99% of markets by far.
If you lodge by CC, you can only withdraw by cheque.
If you lodge using Laser you can get it back onto your Laser card.
3% Fee (I think it's 3) for CC and zero for Laser.
CC will give you the cashflow but Laser is instant.
You need to produce ID now to open an account passport/driving licence, utility bill and a copy of the CC/Laser card you are going to use.
Once you try Betting exchanges you will never go to a "High Street Bookie" again!
The only problem is the amount of commission they take Betfair is 5% and Betdaq 3%.
Main advantages are
You will NEVER get your account closed or your bet reduced in size.
Immediate withdrawal
Better odds then the bookies (90%+ of the time after commission charges are taken off!)
Lots of dfferent markets

Disadvantage
You can't really do Doubles or Trebles and no Accum's/Yankee's/Trixies etc

chump

Well I signed up...

Quite a cosy spot

Healio

Did you join in the merrion?

chump

I did...

Quite a scary place...
As soon as 50's down, apparently get another 50free...
Anyone know if that all has to be on one bet, or can I make a few with it?

Healio

I mite see you around there sometime. Yeah you can place as many or as few as like, just once at least 50 has been matched you will get your bonus
