Betfair limiting stakes on virtual grand national

I hope your joking.

Sadly not :(

ok corral, £2ew max here

Is that exchange or sports book

sportsbook, dont see nothing on the exchange on this

my family/ friends all have a bet with me on the g nat, so were still doing it

Only on Sportsbook

£10 win Kimberlite Candy restricted to £3.12

Thanks elisjohn my family are showing more interest this year than in a normal year,even done a sweep

Betfred Max 0.48p, betfair sport book max £2.50, all profits to nhs, shocking pr

makes sense given the race was run 3 days ago

limits fixed now 10 win or 10 ew

£1ew with skybet but they want documents sent to verify account , fair enough I haven't used in yonks but for £2.

if your account is restricted its restricted get over it.
also i think a tenner is fair, i never defend bookies as i know they've vile but you lot would be the
first to go mad if you heard stories of people losing thousands on the virtual national

its the only time your going to catch em with there pants down, we punters have the edge by a big way, we could give them serious damage if they didnt limit stakes

Surprised at so much interest on here in an imaginary contest. Good for the charity of course but nevertheless...............

but unless they throw a outsider in its very predictable, the criteria they use is quite easy talking of algorithms is boll  ...ks just previous results fom last 10 years weight, age, going, distance, winning recent form they will be teams taking advantage here and hopefully will donate some winning to nhs courtesy from the bookies
us punters have a massive advantage for once and they know it lol

Come on prepared83 WTF are you on about max stake of £1 sky bet for new accounts and an nhs nurse opens has a random bet and offered 10p, all for charity

I wouldn't expect people to put thousands on a virtual (considering a few know the result already), but I would expect to get the tenners on that they are promoting. When stakes are limited to pennies surely everyone can see how that looks?

To be fair I got on for my old man and a mate with Will Hill no problem and the account is restricted. PP and Betfair are a just a complete joke, the restrictions they have on many accounts must be costing them a pretty penny in the long run.

i was talking about already restricted accounts, totally agree with you all if its also happening on unrestricted accounts.
Agree with everything you said daps

one for the tabloids, all money going to frontline NHS workers and Betfair not allowing people to bet the full £10 is ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS, whether you're restricted otherwise or not ...

restricted from betting on a cartoon race, have you ever heard anything so fkng ridiculous in your life !!

RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS, fair enough on people wanting a few hundred on a seller at ripon etc when it looks dodgy, but how the hell can any firm justify that i cannot have 1 pence on any team to win euro  2021 soccer,in fact  not a penny on any sport.

how the hell can any firm justify not taking money that will be used to help fight the c19 virus ?  whoever made that decision needs locking up ...

Complaining about not getting enough on a cartoon race is even funnier.

For charity or not, anybody betting more than a couple of quid needs to admit they have a serious problem.

i'd like to give you £10 so another nurse doesn't have to die.

.... we've had a chat, we'll take £2.78

Bet your £2.78 and then donate the rest?

When the fun stops.....

I thought it would be a good way to give the nhs some money.never thought getting rid of a tenner could be so hard.

not easier to take the tenner ?

Any ideas who I’d give it to?

wouldn't it have been a nice touch to say we're lifting all restrictions for the charity race in order to raise as much as possible for frontline NHS workers who are giving their lives fighting the virus ? 

showing their true colours - do not give a fk about anyone ...

pretty poor PR, for the companies that still have restrictions on customers accounts.

Just make a donation rather than worrying about restrictions.

FFS guys its supposed to be a bit of fun in these sad, bleak and desperate times, nothing more, nothing less.

I was trying to get a bet on for my old man and also a mate, my old man wanted a huge fiver on and my mate wanted a tenner each way. I got offered £1.79 maximum, others have been getting offered less than that. If you think that is fair then that is your view. I would have thought they would try and get as many tenners as possible and have a better donation for the NHS. I don't think anyone is complaining about not being able to get £100 each way on something in the poxy race.

Somerset, it's also being used as a way to raise money for the NHS.  What part of that do you not get ??

Somerset Sam - what a self righteous ****.  I think it's great that a family will sit down, watch a grand national and have a few quid on just like a charity race night without any possibility of fatalities to the horses or injuries to the jocks.  To not allow the max bet of £10 e/w really irritates me because it's fun, it's what has been promised and it's for charity.  But of course that point of view suggests I have a "serious problem."  I actually think they should have done the same with the other nostalgic race they are doing.  I am in a privileged position to know how much a betting firm is taking on this and it's incredibly promising numbers.  Hopefully it's a massive success.

its bound to be a woman isnt it, or theyll be crying sexism again, and or a black horse , oh better not or ill get it for racist again

So a 10p max bet for some is fine in your opinion?

I get they don't want to take bets on actual racing due to the clueless way they are ran by software, but a cartoon race for charity... They are so scared of taking bets nowadays from many punters it is laughable. I wanted an ew yankee for next years Cheltenham Festival and between Betfair and Paddy I got offered a maximum total stake (per line) of 21p. They should be snapping your hands off for Antepost bets nearly a year away!

post your bets on the women ellis.  tar.

what they dont have jockeys

Just have a bet on the 1730 at Tampa Bay and donate any winnings to the NHS. No limits on here.

This will tarnish the bookmaker industry for good.

Apparently 26 people know the result and all sworn to secrecy!

Thought it was 40
All the
JOCKEYS

believe it or not sparrow, most of the uk public aren't too bothered about betting on the half five at tampa bay.  i'm sorry to break that to you ...

Yes hulk much better to bet on a cartoon race but I'll leave that to you.

id have pinatubo 100/1 v those lot

As if "most of the uk public" will be moaning and groaning about bet restrictions.

its the end for coolmore and godolphin if this virtual is a success

hi grandad, it's hulk.  yeah betfair refused your £1 bet on the national, how about i just put it on Hearty Party in the first at Tampa Bay.  Walber Alen's riding it, you like him. 

no, it's not on itv ...

hi schoolboy, it's sparrow. Mister high roller hulk restricted on his cartoon bet on the ITV,

and how much do the nhs get if you lose ?

23 nights.....It's not me who is crying about a bookmaker bet on a cartoon race. As for the NHS we can all argue to pay more tax as I have always done.

theyd be better showing the legend race as main race

Sparrow what part don’t you get, the uk general public to bet £10 to go to charity and for then to have a distraction and a bit of fun, and restrictions to £1 ew and 10p each way, Betfred prob the worst, but praise for William hill not refusing £10 bets, as for the rest sure betfair sportsbook take on the race will contribute to the nhs all house 10p’s, a disgrace

rue.....I couldn't care less about bookmaker betting as I see no point in moaning about them week in and week out. That is what I "don't get" as you put it.

We both agree sparrow, just very bad PR

Fair enough, rue.

My 10p ew definitely red went down the tube, but money back 10p we tiger roll, I will do my own donation to the NHS, thank you very much

Hi guys, I would like to know whether I have got shafted by Betfair... not being a bad loser or anything :)

I was allowed to bet £50 WIN on Bristol De Mai at 20s and £50 WIN on Death Duty at 50s at about 2pm on the day. I learn after the fact that the max bet was £10? Was this enforced by The Gambling Commission as I would like to know whether I have been done in!

Cheers.

Miskin,

Sportsbook only allowed a maximum tenner win (or EW) stake per horse on the race in line with the high st bookmakers. There was a disclaimer directly about the box where entered your stake. I bet 3 horses win/EW in the race and got paid.

miskin are you clueless? no way miskin would get the trip.

'miskin8', ask for £40 back on each of your 2 selections. If you'd won you'd not have been paid out on £50 (stake), but only £10. If you cannot win, you cannot lose either - that's my motto.

The irony is how did you manage to get on £50 each when most were offered £10 (maximum) or less? No book was allowed on The Exchange either to prevent profiteering by bookie.

typo

miskin are you clueless? no way death duty would get the trip.

Thanks guys, I just spoke to one of the lemmings on chat. The guy initailly tried to say that the bet was fine and valid until I shoved this in his face- https://bettingandgamingcouncil.com/uncategorized/nhs-grandnational/.... He's now passed on my complaint on to management :D :D :D

I'll update when I get a reply in '24-72 hours'

Cheers.

Can NHS accept charitable donations from bookmakers?

I'm sure there will be an exception made given race was dedicated to the NHS, and unprecedented time.
