    We've bet on North Korea to beat Brazil :eek:, long shot I know, but if they lose we get our £20 back and if they win we get £520 :j:j

    I made the same punt must admit it was looking like it may come off for most of the match.
    Four guns yet only one trigger prepare for a volley.


    Together we can make a difference.

    Looks like the offer has been withdrawn now. Can't see the £20 banner on the front page anywhere.

    No banner, but if you look under all promotions on the site its listed still!

    It looks somewhat dodgy to me...

    Forcing you to have an 8 character password, then displaying it in full view on screen after registration - WHY? Luckily nobody lurking over my shoulder.

    I'll see how it turns out for you guys first.

    Glad PayPal is an option.

    So do I, as it's a one off anyway for me. Hopefully I won't have to worry about getting my £20 back if Spain loses (I'll be getting £220 instead!). :p

    Oh now I have not a clue who to bet on! I can't work the terms out, haha how dim of me! :rotfl:

    Next to "Spain to score three goals" it says 5.00 So does that mean if I bet on that and I'm right I get 5.00 x £20 (£100) then?

    And if it does mean that, do I get my £20 back too or not?

    Anyone know?
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)

    Stuff it, it's a free bet, £20 on Spain to beat the Swiss later today, after being behind, it's £160 for me if they do it (without the £20 stake back) and my £20 back if not!

    Relax, 888sport is an extremely rich and very reputable bookie. :o

    http://www.bookmakersreview.com/Reviews/Sportsbook/888_Sport/


    That website is the top most trusted independent reviewer of all online bookies.
    (Basically the Which-Guide for betting)


    And 888sport is rated as 3.5/5

    May not sound amazingly high, but that means that they are a good trusted bookie,
    are worth a few million quid so not in the business of trying to con people out of £20s,
    and that they always honour their offers and payout the money.

    (They are rated higher than quite a few highstreet bookies even)




    And instead of viewing it in decimal form, if you click on the tab in the top right of the screen you can change it from decimals to fractions. :)

    Has anyone tried this one or know anything about it?
