    I went safe with a bet on Chile to win. £11.43 is better than nothing :j

    I bet £20, won £31.43 including the original £20 stake, so £11.43 is the profit :)
    Just trying to figure out what my bank SWIFT/BIC code is to withdraw the monies :mad:

    EDIT - Found it - it's the IBAN number!

    Just used my free bet on a horse race £10 each way.

    Profit = £100:T

    Cool, if you were feeling a little brave (no not encouraging mad gambling here) you could look to keep re-invetsing your winnings in 'safe' bets. Spain vs Switzerland being one relatively safe bet. Could build up quite a tidy sum in the Group stages, but always run the risk of a disaster (i.e. England vs USA!).

    Germany v Serbia
    England v Algeria :eek:
    Holland v Japan
    Italy v NZ
    Spain v Honduras

    And perhaps one of two more. Low odds, low winnings but keep rolling em up!

    I had £20 on 1-0 Chile. Won £110.
    Popped £100 out to my bank account and poped the remaining tenner on 3-0 Spain. Looking forward to a nice £85 return :)

    Hmm, they need to step it up a bit - 0 - 0 after 30 minutes.

    Put my £20 on Spain to win 3-1 @ 23/1 (I think?)

    Not looking very likely after 40minutes but at least i'll get my £20 back for another go :p
