Just got back from the bookies. I asked for the bets to be tax paid! It seems it has been that way for some time. :-[ Shows how long its been since I had a bet. :y

I looked into doing it online through Topcashback, but they all wanted me to open an account. :y

Yep. Opened a Ladbrokes account and did 5 horses, £1 each way for my £10 this year... Only time I gamble. But with £10 cash back its effectively a free bet this year :y
