They do it, when they go NRNB.
The date is a bit up in the air, as last year (when we were in lockdown in January) they went NRNB very early, Monday 11th January
Usually it’s a bit later.
Thars why I watch all of the Christmas and New Year races, then have a date set in my smartphone calendar to review ALL Cheltenham antepost bets with Betfair and Paddy Power in the first week of January.
I cash what I need to, and leave the rest, knowing that Cashout will be removed within a week or so."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".

Yes on Cheltenham Festival antepost bets, not others (Grand National, Derby etc).

Anyone know if it's ok to use Hills free bets on future markets ie antipost betting? Saw somewhere that this isn't allowed. Never realised that this could be the case. Have used a good few on Cheltenham doubles and would be a kick in the nuts if true. Would have thought that the bet wouldn't go through and a message pop up if this wasn't allowed.

Had a very enjoyable fri / sat at newbury races . Apart from trying to leave the course on fri .
When we got a cab out to the course.... can we book one to come back ?., no need to , plenty of taxi's . o.k.
Come out and ask the steward where's the cab rank , just there... no markings ... no taxis.
Rang the cab co to ask where are the cabs ??. can we get one ??.
Not taking bookings , none available .
So there were at least 20 people waiting there for nearly an hour.
Lucky for us , the 3 guys in front went back inside for beer , so my mate and i got the next available one.
Saturday , we took the car there , and we were on the M 3 , less than 20 minutes after the last race finished.
Maybe best to pre book a return trip if you are taxi'ing out there .

Would find it laughable that the government seem to have adopted a "we know better than you and we'll tell you what you can bet" attitude if it wasn't so damaging to most people's liberty to choose what they do with their own money.
All in favour of some safeguards to save addicts from themselves but those who can't get a legal bet on can always find some dodgy geezer willing to take their money instead.
Can't say I've heard of the suicides linked to gambling before and sad to hear if this is genuine rather than some political hyperbole trying to fit a narrative. Limiting everybody's ability to bet and having some government body setting those limits is overkill imo.
Despite all of that, I'm still struggling to find any sympathy for big gambling firms
