I won a few hundred at the weekend on the football so Sunday afternoon I withdrew it bank to my debit and I'm still waiting for it to land.
Strange though that when I put the £10 bet on it took 1.5seconds for it to go from my debit to my bookies account but the other way ? 4 days and counting. If I send you a tenner it's there within minutes.
So this morning I got in the bookies live chat and I was reminded by the assistant that it was a Bank Holiday this week you know ! so I gladly reminded him that internet and banking world doesn't stop on a bank holiday and they were happily taking deposits Monday.
The bookies are basically hanging on to your money for a few days extra to gain abit of interest. Can you imagine the 100's of millions sat in their account for 4-5 days longer how much their making a year ?.
The bookie in question?
William Hills, I only used it because their boost price was £35 more payout than all the rest
