I think it means that the first team is ahead at half time an the second team at the end of the match. Could be wrong though!

Thanks for this. Bet my £20 on there being 3 or more goals in the Argentina- South Korea match so doubled my money :beer:

Hi crystal, that means in the first case England win both halves, and in the second case England lead in the first half (say 1-0) but in the second half Algeria lead and therefore win (i.e. 1-2)

Crystal should you really be gambling, seems to me this offer has drawn you in to gambling, it was only only 1 no lose bet. You will very soon be hooked

who said anything about being forced? It's an offer that has been promoted as risk free that subsequently turned out to not to be risk free because of the changes in T&Cs.

No one is being forced but they are clearly using unscrupulous promotional spiel. If fact I would go as far as to say it's deceptive.

Here is the email I received from them just today:

You can't lose. Guaranteed.

Wake up! Best first-bet offer of any sportsbook, right here, right now, only till July 11.

Make your first bet at 888sport. If you win, you win! If you lose, you get your money back up to 20 GBP. No funny business.

CAN'T LOSE. CANNOT LOSE. What's to think about?

I've underlined the parts that contradict their T&Cs. My advice: stay clear people.

lol no i'm not hooked i won some so have withdrawn most out and am now playing with my winnings the bet i won on was only a £2.00 bet

I agree, they imply that you can't lose when that's not actually true. They tell you you get your money back, not that you get a refund to gamble with.
