Not sure if this helps anymore than what’s been said, With regards to the WH issues I emailed them towards the end of December and had this response

“I’m sorry for the inconvenienced this caused you. We currently experiencing technical issue with regards to our bet slip including the incorrect display of the estimated winning returns.

But no worries, our Technical team is currently working on this with the highest priority.

Rest assured that your bet will be settled accordingly with the captured odds by our system regardless on the estimated winnings displayed on your screen”.

Can’t be to much of a priority as all effected bets are still being displayed incorrectly, luckily I have screenshots of all bets.

Thanks Yorkhill, thought their response doesn’t cover the boosted bets placed that aren’t showing.
A few of us have put queries in so let’s see what we each get back though it seems yours at least found its’ way to someone who can communicate well which puts Hills higher up the credibility ladder than betfair...

There’s lots of rumours circulating that UK racing and footie will be stopped tomorrow for 3 weeks. Pretty shit.
Hope Ireland doesn’t follow the UK and stop Irish racing too....

Does anybody know how many cases have been proved to come from racecourses ?

I fear the worst with this, mental health set to rise again if this happens. It is keeping many people sane at the moment as its pretty much a lot folks only release.

Nope none, guess it’s something to do with the ambulances... not sure though. I know the health trusts here in NI are asking any off duty staff to report for work if possible, so things mus the getting tight, so having ambulances at tracks might be deemed wrong at this time?

OK thanks Jack, that paints a different picture to be fair and one that’s difficult to argue with...

Agreed, greedy thoughts from me hoping the Irish stuff stays on, but it’s for the above really. I don’t struggle with mental health necessarily but if there’s ever been a “down” moment it’s been coming out of the New Year to a long lockdown! January blues lol.

some of the fans at that spurs games doing the sport no favours though.

Seen a lot of the same on Twitter from a few different folk, not sure if there’s any truth in it. Absolutely gutted if so.

Word coming from Irish Government is that unessential businesses will not open till end of March

presumably,this will include bookmaker shops

I know nearly all on here have online accounts

however,will still have a major impact on festival betting if this is the case

sorry if this is already been discussed

The hospital local to me is over run so I can see why there's pressure to stop elite sports.

Difficult times and lockdown with no live sport is a depressing thought.

Wonder if the England cricket tour will go ahead?!

Are all the private hospital/medical businesses still operating normally ?
I’m sure, in the event paramedics and ambulances are deemed unavailable, the private enterprises could be used to fill in...

I know in Belfast, they weren't operating fully during the first lockdown and were helping the public health service out. Not sure now!

Do you mean the pvt enterprises could be used for racing?

Yes, if not being utilised by the NHS....

I’m already just feeling very flat about Cheltenham this year; if the bookies and pubs aren’t open even more so. Just can’t really get into racing at all this season, if Shiskin or Envoi don’t make the festival (or the Irish in general aren’t allowed over!) it would be very “meh”. Haven’t even booked it off work this year
