WWN spot on again

[Silver-Tiger]

got the new inbox by gmail thingy - not so sure about it - prolly take a bit of time.

Or another bust.

Think I need a new non-rl-name. Never really used a pseudonym before.

Yeah, will take a bit of time. Got it too. Apparently theres tonnes of updates on the way to make it more useful; especially calendar / google now integration. Lack of the work gmail integration is the killer at the moment.

Just open it in a separate tab/window.

Personally Im a big fan of keeping these separate just to avoid mistakes!

Its hard to trust the bundling so I keep on opening them to check before hitting Sweep (~= Mark as read) but so far I haven't found a single mistake between promos, updates and travel stuff.

[ArmaniJeans]

Leaving the 'Michelle' bit in your avatar may be defeating the purpose.

[bp_me]

oh its just that the new Google Inbox thing doesn't yet have support for business gmail accounts, or that DCU hasn't ticked the right boxes. Took them a year to okay the use of Boomerang, so its not quite a cutting edge it department.

Ah fair enough. Different set of issues

Why not fire off an email to your CS department and ask them if they can do anything about it.

Have a ticket for Liverpool V Che on Sat but I'm in with away fans (I'm a Liverpool fan). Where would be the best place to try and find a Che fan who may have home ticket and wants to swap? Have posted on Boards too.

Know its a long shot but worth the try I think

Hopefully not. I already signed up there. Had to send Driver's License and Utility bill to verify account.

Why has nobody brought Irish wrestler Becky Lynch (aka Rebecca Knox) to our attention. I'm very disappointed tbh.

Becky is fairly dodgily photoshopped though, is she not? Imagine she's still hot, just not that hot.

A quick creep of her Facebook page confirms she is still hot.

Just watch it in the Chelsea end. Be no reason to cheer anyway. Be grand.

Other than that. Check Twitter out. United have an MUFC_Exchange account run by a fan and there's never a problem with tickets. Maybe CFC or LFC have something similar.

I'm not in any way hopeful of a result but still prefer to be in home section. I've been in with away support loads of times and obv will keep my mouth shut but its not the same.

Just need to have clicked through the odds checker site. That will tag you.

I doubt you were verified within the timeline. Id imagine your account was just unlocked and you will receive a verification email over the coming days.

Hope you got a significant discount for that flight! Ugh Heathrow and no preclearance. I'd price that at at least €100.

Three of us got them for €540 and one for €490. €20 saving in fuel. The Cork flight means I leave home at about 5am and a Dublin flight would see me having to leave home @ about 2.30am.

Surely Heathrow is a much better option than say Atlanta or Philly. I have done stopover in Heathrow and Amsterdam before and never really had an issue. I have never done the US stopover but the idea of flying on an internal plane is not idea. The plane is the top of the range that AA have which is a huge bonus considering they are not one of the better providers.

The site has grown so much over the last three and expansion is a difficult process if it is to be done right. Racing is in the pipeline and I would expect it will be on site by YE 2015. The site was owned by Andrew Pantling and I guess the main custom was US sports.

If anyone runs in to issues with rollover and needs it explained drop me a pm as I will not find any posts in the BBV when I am away. There are no odds for rollover so basically any bet over 2.0 has your stake counting as the rollover and any bet below 2.0 will have your potential win as the rollover.

Im open to feedback on the site in general as it is still a relatively small company so I can pass the comments on to people who can take action. The 1% commission is the main draw to the site.

[Flushdraw]

Did an update for my laptop and just switched it on, and as usual, it enables these 2 spam extensions every time it does an update. The first time (about 3 months ago) i had to remove programs it installed, but the only problem since is that it activates the add-ons that i have disabled and removed. This is the first time it tried to install something though (java out of date bs)

Is there any way of removing it for good so it doesn't keep coming back when it installs updates?

@Flushdraw: if it's managed to somehow infect the windows update mechanism I would completely format the laptop and reinstall Windows. Take off and nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

We have Man City enhanced to 4.0 for tomorrow if it interests any people on here. You have to be a new customer and sign up via oddschecker. It is advertised very obviously on oddschecker if you do not have adblocker.

There is a 3X rollover on the token which will be roughly £41 (£123 rollover).

What does rollover on the token mean?

What happens to the 50 no risk bet if you take this offer?

ta!

ta!

This takes away the risk free offer. This imo is a better offer as you need to lose €50 in order to take advantage of the Risk free offer.

Man City are currently trading at roughly 1.3 so your 15 bet would yield you 19.50. We will the Credit you with a token for 40.50 which will bring you up to the 4.0 odds.

This 40.50 will need to be rolled over 3x (121.50). Lets say you do not want to risk your original stake of 15 so you place 1 bet of €45 @ 2.0 and it wins this will see you with €105 in your account and a rollover of 76.50. You could then place a bet of 76.50 @2.0 and this would clear your rollover. If it wins you have €181.50 and if it loses you will €28.50.

* Just to note if you placed the 76.50 @ 1.50 it would have a rollover value of €38.25. To sum it up you cannot come in and place all the money on a 1.1 shot in an attempt to rollover the money with minimal risk.

* Also noting to mods that this is not part of my job in the slightest and I am not trying to advertise for free or without permission. I have just thrown up the offer as it is a pretty decent one.

Wife has one. The blue LED on the display is horrible and the controls are voodoo to me. The actual sunrise/sunset element is really good but dealing with the device to get that functionality isn't worth the effort.
