Anyone know what the situation will be in NSW? When I try to deposit money into my Betfair account, a message appears to the effect that my credit card is out of date, which it isn't. I can't find anywhere on the site to "update" it so I presume there is a lock on my account preventing me from making a deposit. Hopefully I will be able to do so when Betfair begins operations in Tassie.
Go, Brian. At least he's currently scoring a few runs, even though Warney is giving him a few problems.
I knew I shouldn't have said anything about Brian - he's out! Talk about bad umpiring!!!!

Gday michael
as for NSW... they will not be able to stop you placing bets with Betfair once it is licensed... they cant do a whole lot now as it stands...Once one state licences it, I believe the constitution says something about no restriction of trade between the states.. and terrortories as well I think.. I am no lawyer tho... But I think that is the loophole that allows someone in say NSW to buy hardcore non violent porn, (which is not for sale legally in NSW) from The ACT or NT.. I think that is basically the part of the constitutiuon that will allow it...
This Paul Lennon is really giving it to the racing establishment.. Have a read here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitem...11/s1497906.htm
As for Brian... Yeah dud decison.. but I will take em after the crap dished up by the umpires during the ashes against some of our blokes LBW...
I think the best way to top up your betfair account (you should really only deposit once ya know  the rest should all be withdrawls) is by bank deposit... Ring the free number ( I think it is still there) and they will tell you how to go about it... There has been a block put on drawing funds FROM Betfair to credit cards issued here, but not the other way around as far as I know.. |
