KGB DEALS - £1 for a £5 bet that could win you £15 with Betfair

in It's gone, but was it any good?
For £1, you can get a £5 bet on the England v. Algeria game tonight. The bet needs to be either that England will win, or that England will fail to win (i.e. lose or draw). If you’re right, you get £15, as Bet Fair have given kgbdeals special odds. The deal closes in a couple of hours and will likely sell out before then; the link is http://www.kgbdeals.co.uk/london?id=611

    Was going to say, given how much newspapers cost these days it might just be cheaper to get the deal! Fingers crossed for England...

    The paper with £5 free bet is the Daily Star which is only 20p - although calling that awful rag a newspaper is stretching it a bit!

    agree had a look at the star paper in the shop today got the details and have my £5 free bet without buying the paper saying that page 3 was good today so worth the 20p ;)

    Note to everyone, if you have had a previous account with them you will have issues redeeming, so make sure you when you receive your link, follow it, and use a totally different name and email address.
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    I did not realise that I had a dormant account. My bet did not go through despite using different email address.

    I phoned Betfair and they refunded the £1 into my account.
