General Chat

[The hill]

I'm right behind the course. Lovely day so far light breeze.

[Lobos]

And BBC news there are telling us to expect a fairly UK wide wet week ahead, the only doubt being will it impact much on the general Liverpool area?

Going to be very testing isn't it. You'll need to have a proven Stayer.

I see sky have now joined betfair and paddy in forcibly changing everyone from deposit limits to loss limits

So much for responsible gambling

It's like they've realised it's a way to circumvent not being able to reverse withdrawals

If you win you can just put it all back in when they process your withdrawal

Forced loss limits now

So before say you had a £50 daily deposit limit win or lose once you've deposited that you couldn't deposit again for 24hrs

Now if you put your £50 in and lose no difference. But say you win a couple hundred. Once that withdrawal is processed you can then re deposit (and let's be honest probably lose) the amount you won. It will also then reset at midnight not 24hours after deposit.

They've done it on all 3 sites, owned by the same company i believe, so must be certain it'll get them more money off people.

For instance I rarely use skybet at all because it's gone to the dogs so have a £25 monthly limit. Just checked and I could deposit £825 right now if i wanted too until it resets 1st April as I Withdrew some Cheltenham winnings off their.

They chat about responsible gambling, their actions tell a different story

In fact betfair made this change in November I believe the day after safer gambling week finished.

So is this if you set your own deposit limit?

OR are they imposing a limit on deposits?

I'd imagine only if you set one

….Aintree weather watch Sunday;

after a lovely Spring day yesterday, we’ve had a dry night and woken up an hour early to a bright sunny morning.

You know I don't think that forecast this week is at all that bad, rain everywhere but the racecourse could miss it though. Like Cheltenham it probably just needs a little rain though and the ground remains heavy.

Has there been any advance going reports yet given that the meeting is only Thursday week away? I've seen nothing reported.

Usually begin a week out from Day 1 of the meeting.

So this Thursday coming, maybe the time the daily updates start

Though Cheltenham got moody about it taking 90 minutes to walk the course each day with the Going Stick and give Daily Updates on that.

So they only did the Going Stick every 2 or 3 days, which wasn't a great help to anyone checking Daily.

Has anyone got any idea why gavin cromwell would choose the 31st march to begin " now is the hours" novice chase career? Am i missing something?

Constitution Hill has suspected colic. Hopefully pulls through. Turned out to be a nightmare season for him. Lots of issues this year.
