Anyone ever used paypal to fund a betting a/c?

Just wondering as I want to have a bet with Bwin but they charge for deposits. Ironically they wouldn't be charging me if I still had a laser card!

Is it just a case of funding your paypal a/c and then transferring? Or do you do it like on ebay? I don't want "Paypal Bwin" on my statement.

I found out in rather painful circumstances, they had a massive rick on something, account had previously been unrestricted. I lodged up, was charged a small amount, I think 1% but the rick was so big I didn't mind. Anyway, I was restricted to about a score, then charged to withdraw again. :mad:

edit: Actually not 100% on a deposit charge but there was definitely a fee to withdraw it. Party poker introduced it also, as far as I know they are now the one company. I am told that such withdrawal fees will become more commonplace. To be fair it's hard for the bookies to make money betting to 1% on Asian Handicaps if they've to pay Skrill 3% and funds are instantly withdrawn win or lose.

As I landed my Nap of the year at 6/4 Roscommon to beat Cavan Roscommon u21 to beat Dublin draw no bet 1/1 .Ros missing 3 key players a huge worry.forwards for Ros are like Barcelona with a terrible back line.

I think Pinnacle stipulate you've to roll a deposit over 5 times before withdrawing. In fairness it makes sense for them, 102% on 1X2 football market and 101.5% on Asians.

Surely Powers/Spoils etc won't start it. they won't want to annoy mugs looking to bet into 200%over rounds on score casts etc

Im fairly sure Paypal Bwin would come up, it does for ladbrokes. Bwin are charging me 3% for withdrawals though, which is a joke. Only 5% of punters are winning, and only about 5% of those are beating 3%. Basically renders bwin as useless. Has to be a flat out rick for me to deposit there now. Partially restricted also

Bscked Liverpool for the title at 2.42 on Matchbook

That's the 3rd time I've backed em in about 4 weeks.

I'm not at all comfortable about this new development

UrbanSea

Off your rocker Colonel. Think Mark Walsh gave Stockton's Wing a very quiet ride today. Had it each way but still a bit disappointed.

Adebayor 3 goals ahead with 2 games left, away to West Ham, home to Villa. Looking good.

tomaussie

Think the bookies have got some prices wrong this upcoming weekend.

West Ham should not be as big as 3/1 at home.

Villa are very good value at 5/4.

I thought Cardiff may be bigger than 3/1 but could be worth a punt.

Everton at 7/2 are savagely overpriced. They have won this fixture for the last four consecutive seasons.

Hammers and Villa double at 8/1 with a separate treble including Everton at about 39/1.

as dire as the hammers are this season, I am tempted by the 3/1.

On Mind The Net in the 9.15 at 7/4.

Just touched off in the Scottish Derby by Holdem Spy and ran a decent trial at Wimbledon beating Kippers Usain who won his heat earlier pretty easily.

Great .He is the most horrible person i have ever met and the abuse he gave Dolores Ruth last year was shocking.He made sure he got Union Jacks to celebrate last years win just to try and push his anti Irish stance in front of the cameras.Roxholme Ted over priced at 11/8 with no dog on inside .Has real pace for a young dog.

No he is very well handicapped and runs well this time of year. Fit from the all weather and he was well backed before being taken out the other week. I'm on at 16s and 14s and a small bet at 9s
