Cash Race

Agreed Sam - cheap , cheap, cheap.

What are the top prizes guys? Mine are cash : £5, £10, £20

£10, £20, £70. Hadn't seen it before today though so not much chance of me doing something to get them.

36554: £150

30827: £50

27814: £25

Those were mine

£10, £20 and £70 for me too. And despite accumulating a few big points, I'm still unlikely to reach my targets. Personally, I think it encourages irresponsible gambling but that might be due to my strategy.

Interesting. Mine are....

7643 - £35

6509 - £10

5811 - £5

£5, £10 and £20

Do you just have to go to the web page to opt in to this? I can't see any opt-in button - just my points total.

I've managed to get the fiver!! Get in!! That means I'll get back the money I lost on the first at Fakenham yesterday when I put on a bet just to watch the race on Live Video which wasn't working.

I think once you go into that page you have opted in.

44300 - 70
37700 - 20
33700 - 10

I do have 18700. Those target are joke.

£150, £50 and £25.

Ridiculous targets, though.  I generally don't even bother looking any more.

10 20 70 here i have almost trippled my points think i should get 210

My prizes were £25/£50/£150. The targets are carefully chosen per account, so if you aren't increasing your betting during the promotion, you won't be reaching the targets.

Yeah I get that they vary the amount of points you need to get a prize, but I find it a bit strange they also give people different amounts.

Getting 20 quid in exchange for tens of thousands in commission paid does make me chuckle. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth though.

Seems everyone gets cash as well? There used to be ipods, xboxes, signed football shirts and the like.

Imv it's a very ****-eyed promotion. They shd be promoting prices i.e. fractionally arb-able bets. The company has a bookie's mentality--people shdn't be able to buy money from them. Of course the money-buyers are some of their biggest customers and most valuable clients and liquidity providers.

Bet £5 then lay £5.01.  I think you can watch then.

I remember they used to have some non-cash prizes, I once won a laptop from one of them.

I still think the concept is a little odd. Betfair points are a difficult concept in the first place (just read the rules about the calculations) so deriving a promotion off of them is a strange idea to me. Though I suppose if Betfair actually presented the cash race as the equivalent 'bet this many £ to win a £25 prize' then they would be laughed at.

If I've done my sums right, Betfair will give me a £25 cash prize if I bet £201,040 with them during the promotion. How generous!

I've had to turn over a ridiculous amount to hit my top target, the top reward is about 0.1% of bets I've generated

the previous 2 promotions iv hit the top target,this time its been raised five fold,dont think they want me to win any more money

Not even updated on the final day. So no idea how many points I can't get to not reach my target.

I bet and lay a fiver just so I can bet in running using live video. With it being a bank holiday I didn't have time to do it pre-race, tried a quick back and lay of the fav, the price of which shot up after I backed it. Then live video wasn't working anyway. I'm only 200 points away from getting £10.

10 - 20 - 70 euro

I have pipped the 20 mark but not making a special effort to reach 70, just so as BF can collect more commission. Or not as the case maybe. Like someone mentioned previously, can't look a gift horse in the mouth, I will take it any way I can....(cash that is)

I'm 50,000 points away from a fiver. Bargain!

Forgot all about this..didnt even know i had entered ...nice bonus £150 in my account this morning ...happy days

If I hadn't seen this post I wouldn't have known about it either. Nice little bonus this morning too! Thanks OP

"Had to" and "ridiculous" don't seem to fit together well here.  Sounds like a good promo to me!

I missed the targets altogether this time but that'll help my scores next time, presumably.

Your points total 19122

20355 POINTS £70

17342 POINTS £20

15486 POINTS £10

First time I've ever won any of these promotion things and it's a poxy £20 :(

off and running again
