Free 'no lose' £20 World Cup bet
Comments

I think I'm going to give Uruguay a shot, they're are looking very good at the moment.
Hmm, reckon the Mexico vs Uraguay game has draw written all over it, as both teams will go through on a draw. The only incentive is gaining 1st or 2nd place so then whether you play Argentina or South Korea (probably) in the next round.0 -
As some will know BETFAIR allows to back and lay bets.
England are currently 13.0 on Betfair to win the world cup (12-1).
Bet on them before the match tomorrow and, following what should be a win, the price will drop considerably as they are backed again and you can lay your bet off leaving a tidy profit for an England win, or another lay if you don't fancy that!!!
Use this code for free £25 bet when you've put £25 in!!!
CODE - LDVQKT2K4
Easy money I would think!!!!
If you wanted to guarantee even more then lay off win tomorrow night and draw is then the only bad result!!!
Its not risk free though, its gambling, and that's a referral code, for which there's a dedicated thread elsewhere.0 -

This is stupid advice to be giving out on here.
That's your referral code??
Betfair odds for and England will tomorrow are 1.48...The odds to qualify are 1.47 (slighty lower because there is a small chance that a draw would be enough). England are still in with a very good chance of qualifying. The "winners" odds have gone up mainly because it's clear that there are problems in the England camp. The early optimism has been destroyed and it'll take a convincing win against slovenia and probably a win in the next round for the odds to drop significantly (say, below 8).
Lets say the odds dropped to 8, you are basically dealing with a 13.0/8.0 arb. To lay this at betfair you'd need just under £300 in your account.
You are encouraging people to do things that they may not understand...potentially risking large sums of money if they make a mistake (all matched bettors will have made an error at some point when laying off).0 -

People who say you should have read the t's & c's dont really have a fair point.
Can I ask you this.. do you read all the T's and c's on every single sign up... every single new insurance you take out... do you read them all???... I am surprised you still have time to come on here to post!!
888 knew what they where doing... and are loving all the gamblers popping onto their site thinking they are getting free bets when they are not.
I didnt reliase you didnt get your stake back on the second bet (when you have lost)
I am not surprised though.. companies have used subtle caviats to take money off me time and time again over the years.
thats capatalism for you
good luck with your bets everyone!
If i sign up to a gambling site the answer is yes any other site insurance etc prob not.
If this deal had not been posted on MSE (which IMO) it shouldnt have) the t and c wouldnt have been changed.
Still comes back to if you dont understand gambling DONT DO IT0 -
Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the money back in your account once you've withdrawn it?February wins: Theatre tickets0

Cheers.
I never understand why it takes so long to return funds. If it leaves my bank account instantly, I see no viable reason why it can't be returned just as quickly!February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
