Are you sure that you can transfer back to card. ??

you can limit losses and/or deposits here without worrying about credit cards...
most bank accounts in australia let you have an optional free visa debit card linked to them that lets you use your own money... i have one, and if they are available where you are that might also be a better option than a prepaid credit card... |

The talksport card is ideal as it is the quickest to withdraw funds back to. If i withdraw £500 from a bookies today it will be back by tomorrow night 9.00pm, betfair one day longer.

Anyone using a prepaid credit card is a MUG.

Co-Op does a decent Visa Electron card and current account that anyone can apply for. You can use it on Betfair without having to overdraw and also get 1p Ryanair flights without charges. Deposit via Post Office which is handy and incurs no charges whatsoever.

Wouldn't a little bit of self-control have the same effect? If you can't bet in a responsible manner, then you shouldn't bet at all!
