Winning bet...how long to claim please?

You should have no problem in collecting this within a month or so ... i think it may be even up until about 6 - 12 months but any longer than even a week and the bookies will whinge and complain but still pay out like they are obliged. Just a note for the future keep an eye on the results and there will be no hassle. I usually collect that day or even over a weekend if i cant make it into the shops. Il put it this way ..... they even complain when you go up to collect before the results are up on the screen but dont mind them :) Congrats on the win !!!!
