Free 'no lose' £20 World Cup bet

Very happy! Won £260 because Switzerland won. Biggest win I've ever had. Thank you Martin for bringing this to my attention.

As much as I enjoyed placing this bet, there's no way I'd become addicted to gambling. I'm too careful with my money!

For anyone who made a losing bet:

Call the customer service number 0800 096 4780 (http://www.888sport.com/sports-info/uk/Contact.shtml) and ask about your bet being refunded. I did this and the guy refunded the bet straight away and the money is now back in my account and soon to be back in my bank! Saved me worrying about it getting refunded.

Well done mate. When I saw your post this morning I thought "No way is that going to happen" and now I have egg on my face!!

I've got my bet on SA winning tonight, so fingers crossed!

Hi

I joined this site a few months ago, I won a promotional and another bet. It was and still is a total nightmare to draw money out, if you read the terms and conditions about withdrawls it is very confusing. They still owe me £15 which they say has been paid to a credit card, although after 2 months nothing has been received, I have lost count of the e -mails I have sent and given up with it, I think they are based in Gibralter, and althouth they did reply to my e-mails, overall comprehension of them was very poor.
you have been warned !.

Thanks

Only read the email at 2:30 today and decided to have a go.
I opened the account at 2:45 and put my £20 on Switzerland to beat Spain (kickoff 3:00) now £240 better off.
Thanks to Money Saver PursuitOfHappiness for the post.

Have you rung them on their freefone number?

If you had deposited on a debit card you could withdraw direct to your bank account (I think)

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!

Thats lucky.

I was just going through the details thinking I cant see any "" '£20 no lose bet' banner on the homepage""



Edit: The "no lose" £20 offer shows in Google Chrome but not in Firefox....

i use firefox and the £20 offer did show last night when i deposited £20.00p into 888. i was going to put it on spain for today's match. however i couldn't see anything on the betslip to say the money would be returned if the bet lost. i sent them an email and went off to bed.
this morning 888 had replied to my email saying everything was ok and my money would be returned. so i went on to the site to put my money on spain and got distracted by the fact that chile were a better price in an earlier game so i backed them instead. result, a profit of £14.55p. (and i've taken out the orginal £20.00p) i'll now see how far the profit goes.

Hmm, I would be interested to see how they would treat a multiple match bet slip... for example I have signed up and bet on 9 matches using Trebles, if you do not know what this is, it is betting on every combination of 3 results (ie, I need at least 3 teams to win to win anything, the more teams that then win, the more combinations come in and the more I win..). Using this bet, I can win a maximum of something like £75, however if only 3 out of the 9 teams win I will only win something like £1... does this count as a win?? And therefore I cannot claim my £20 back? This would seem unfair that a £20 cost bet is classed as winning when you lose £19.... any thoughts??

If you have no idea what trebles are or have no idea on which teams are going to beat who then you might find the blog http://clinicalfootballtips.com/ useful, I have been following this world cup and found it rather useful!
