    Does anyone know if a reverse forecast bet would count towards the £5 free bet club? Ie is it like an accumulator? Never done one before...! thanks

    I got "Big Shu" & "Double Seven" in the family sweepstakes. Thinking of placing myself a "Sky bet" on one of these two - which would you pick? am Thinking of doing an each way bet.

    Q: Is there a minimum bet you can place?

    I'm picking Alvarado as my outsider and Long Run as a favourite. Reasons:

    Alvarado is lightly weighted knows how to win and likes softer ground

    Long Run is ridden by an amateur who has won on the course and has the best record of any rider at Aintree over jumps

    well the 77 has set me up for money again.

    i am mind feeling let down in other ways because i was thinking i could have had a 51-1 winner when i put £5 bet on across the bay who was doing very well until the loose horse mucked things up.

    I'm wondering if i am allowed a refund for that horse being mucked up by a loose horse

    Unless you have a very very kind bookie, NO you wont.

    I didn't even get a run for my money with Battle Group and no refund, at least you got a circuit

    I assumed a refund in this situation would be industry standard, if not then fair play to Sky for refunding me. 

    I wonder if they'd have done the same had my stake been higher than a quid ew!

    per the rules a refund is not due. However I am surprised BET365 didn't refund. Sky are obviously good sometimes and fair play to them

    Having said that BET365 have a problem with this as a lot of people including me got half their stakes back on all ew Bets anyway so nightmare scenario for them

    still i'm not that bothered about it as the real loss was the £250 i could have won from it winning.

    overall i had to get a horse finish in the top 4 to be in any profit and it was the very horse that i choose from my poker world the 77. that one i put a bet of £10 each way so that cost me £20 overall while the other 4 were £1 each way except for cross the bay which i had single £5.
