21-year-old promising lady amateur jockey has suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury due to a freak accident on the gallops. Kaitlyn is currently receiving treatment for her injury and will be for the foreseeable future.

Kaitlyn will need to make many lifestyle changes to adapt to her new life to ensure her independence. Kaitlyn’s future is unknown and she faces a long journey ahead. We want to help Kaitlyn and her family through this challenging time.

🚨🚨HELP NEEDED 🚨🚨

PLEASE SETTLE CORRECTLY @betway

My mate who I have a beer with regularly loves a bet, usually lucky 15s at a weekend or if he finishes shift early on a daytime having been on earlys.

Week or so ago he was made up to hit a cracking 3 winners in a lucky 15 on @betway . When he told me the winners over a pint, and the prices I wondered how he was paid so little.

Next day after hangover subsided I thought I would look into bet and first found was a couple of rule 4s to complicate things further.

Anyhow I worked bet out below as this, am I wrong with my working out before I write a blog use my mates receipts and transcripts.

The bet was a 52p e/w lucky 15 as shown

1 Nobelo.           Won@33/1
2. Chymbulak.    Lost
3. Pretty lady.     Won@18/1 rule4 25p
4. Premier view  Won@12/1 rule4 10p

Taking into account the rule 4s, the win part of this bet pays £3610.36 with a further £87.22 for the each way element.
Total of £3697.58

Mystified that @betway only paid out £2692.55 !!

The difference is £1005.03.

Help appreciated if you check my rule 4s please

Retweets and Help would be hugely appreciated, because it took him 30 mins to get past the AI assistants on Live Chat then they escalated to traders at which point they said amount was correct with no workings

Does anyone have a good API for tennis live scoring? I'm using api-tennis but it's giving me weird data like this...

Today, the APPG held an evidence session with the @SMFthinktank on Machine Games Duty, hearing evidence on why higher-stakes electronic machines should be taxed at a higher rate to reflect the levels of harm experienced by those who use them.
