Took some digging to find this thread (thought it was in the English football section, probably should be).
Anyone keen on doing this again, or just discussing Premiership betting tips in general in here? I don't bet very often but got some money to play with now. Got one of those TAB emails last week that you get when you haven't logged in for ages saying they have given you $5 which you have to use by Sunday etc. So placed a multi on a few Olympic events for the sake of it (didn't win). Then got an email the next day that there's a current daily prize draw when you place a multi bet. Never win these things but this time it said "you have won $100" and sure enough it appeared in my account this morning. Not wanting to leave that much in there to just lose I went to the Brandon Street branch this afternoon to try and withdraw it but apparently it's not a prize, it's just credit you have to bet with.
What do people think of that? I understand it from their point of view - let people who don't bet often think they have won to keep them betting more of their own money. And I didn't bother to read the terms and conditions before I went in. But the fact it was described as a "prize draw" and told me I "won" meant I thought it was a prize. I know the T&Cs will make it clear but wouldn't hurt to make it clear in the email that the prize is TAB credit and not cash.
They always have qualifying conditions in the small print. You'd likely need to settle a certain amount of bets before you can withdraw it, usually 2-3 times the amount. Basically, I'd just take it and put on a couple of low-odds, two result multi's at the full $100.
If you don't bet a lot, they don;t explain it clearly but if you do, you'll know it's quite usual.
Also, don't bother with the TAB, Bet365 is a much better option and gives you cash out options on live events and credits direct to your debit or credit card within a few days.
EDIT: ...and Liverpool shafted my multi of course!
