Football Pools 1/2price & Quidco

Just signed up for littlewoods classic 8 from 10 football pools for 55 weeks.
Normally that would cost £55 but there is a half price offer at the moment bringing it to £27.50.
Go through Quidco and get £15 cash back.
So it ends up costing £12.50 for 55 weeks (assuming they cough up at quidco's end, it was tracked pretty fast).
Not a bad offer if you fancy a punt!

Also if you play an extra £5 Littlewoods give you a £15 bet token too, but I haven't taken this up in case it affects my qudico.
if i had known then what i know now

  • Thanks Woody! I don't do the Pools as a rule but have signed up for the half price offer for 55 weeks with cashback and I see that there is £15 free bets in my account already :)

    Looks like to get the half price offer you can only pick numbers which are in play for the whole 55 weeks, you can't select your teams so have no say in which games you are betting on to be a score draw, in most peoples case that probably won't make any difference to how well they do !!

    So it's just a lottery then..no estimating or skill involved?
