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!

Doesnt the no lose bet have to be a single?

I have to admit im still in shock this is my biggest win ever , i had put the £2 free bet i had in ladbrokes on spain to win so when i saw this promotion decided to put £20 on switzerland knowing that either way would be good but then when i saw it was 0-1 at 79mins i was dreading it thinking there was no way i was going to be that lucky congrats on all who won with me lol

I have read the blog above that Rob Crin wrote about (clinicalfootballtips - I can't post links yet!) in anticipation of getting the free bet tomorrow, it gives a well reasoned opinion

Think I might go for 2-1 to Nigeria which returns £180.

Well done to those who won today. What is evryone else going to put their free bet on?

I was thinking bout Nigeria vs Greece. I don't think Greece will score cos they looked hopeless in their openin game. Although Nigeria are better their hardly a dead cert. In similar games so far it has tended to be either a draw and at best a low scoring games with 2 or less goals. I think I'll avoid that.

Think I'll have an accumulator backing Argentina, Germany, USA n England to net over £100.

Won £260 today Switzerland vs Spain but not seen the £20 stake back. Is that correct?

Have it!

"Then, if the bet loses, you get all your cash back."

Your bet didn't lose, so you won't see the £20 back, obviously.

mrcinlondon

The odds were 13/1 so £20 x 13 is £260. Does this amount include the £20 stake amount?. That's what I referring to.

crinmeister

Usually with odds of 13/1 - £20 would return £280
(£20x13) = £260 profit + £20 stake back = £280

With this offer as jweb2k rightly says, you don't get your stake back so just the "profit" comes back

Hope that makes sense
