    Congratulations to everyone who bet on Switzerland. Fantastic result!:j:beer:
    But please... Don't let this hook you into gambling with your own money. I'm probably not alone in claiming today's result was a fluke, and people may not be so lucky next time round.

    The banner now states:
    'This offer is no longer valid today'.
    Hi could you tell me where it says this. I was wanting to do an accumulator tonight but I don't want to if I'm not going to get my £20 back.

    For me there is nothing showing on the home page or even when I look in the 'promotions' bit where it says this offer is no longer valid for today.
