    You can bet on any result in any world cup match as long as the bet is settled before July 12th. So for those looking to make a couple of quid, place it on a dead cert - if that dead cert wins you'll make a few quid, if it loses you get your money back.

    There is, however, an additional loop hole. Place £20 on a first goalscorer bet and if that loses you get not only your £20 back but a free £20 bet if that goalscorer scores any time in the match. MY bet is as follows:

    election 1
    Selection Fernando Torres @ 4.50
    Market
    First Goalscorer
    Event
    World Cup
    Spain v Switzerland

    http://www.888sport.com/bet - Make sure you click on the banner, register then place a single £20 bet with nothing else on the bet slip.

    WARNING - This may lead to further gambling. If you don't trust yourself to close the account after the match, don't do it!


    I copied you lol, and it turns out that Torres didn't even play.

    My account is showing the bet as 'void'.. does that mean I get another chance and if I lose get my £20 back.. or have I lost my chance altogether?

    T&Cs number 7. If your initial bet is voided, your second real money bet will count.

    Although torres did play so I'm not sure why your bet was voided...

    I placed a bet at about 1.30pm on the spain game, didn't win though. I checked the T&Cs and the banner was still available at the time but now I'm worried I won't get a refund! The first hints of the change in T&Cs appear after 3pm on the forum so i guess i will be ok?.... Hmm...

    Yes he did. He came on in the second half, he just didn't start the match:beer:

  • Watch out terms and conditions have changed only the first 1000 people per day get the bonus. I just phoned them, and told them i had copy of them this morning and they changed after i placed my bet so i wanted money . They did give it with no argument.
    Just watch for tomorrow.

    I just put £20 down for Switzerland to beat Spain. I seriously doubt they can win, but at least it will make the game more entertaining.

    For anyone who can't see the banner and use Firefox, make sure you turn Adblock off if you have it (or turn it off for that website) because it's easy to forget.

    Good luck everyone who is placing a bet!

    I did the same thing, congratulations you and me :)
  • so have any unlucky losers today had their money refunded yet? I lost an hour ago but guess it will take a while to come through.
