Jesus man! One of the first rules of successful betting is ALWAYS ensure you get the best price. If for example you have stuck a tenner on that bet and PLG does end up at Newcastle then you might make £400 from Hills but you would have made an extra £600 with Betfair. If your well enough off to not worry about potentially missing out on say £600 then fair play to you but if you bet like that long term then you will either lose money or you will be making less profits than you should be if your winning.

Even just a quick check on Oddschecker shows that he is 66/1 at BetDirect and 50/1 at Bet365 & Totesport.

Sorry for sounding like I am preaching or talking down to you but I always feel its the responsibility of more experienced punters, or people who have been punting for a longer time than you probably will have, on places like TDP to advise "newbies" or pick up on "mistakes" and believe me, not taking the best price is a biggie. Get yer paperwork sorted out and get it sent off to Betfair NOW, you won't regret getting it sorted long term.
