Mr Bairn Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Got a kitty of £50 going in, assuming Brazil do indeed wear yellow on Thursday night. Can build that up a little with some small stakes William Hill bets on random matches between now and Thursday hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Am I missing something here or is the 888.com offer open to arbitrage? I picked France as my team, and stuck a fiver on them to score < 1.5 against Ecuador at 3/4 odds, giving me a potential return of £8.75 as well as a free bet of £5 for every goal France score. France score 0 - profit £3.75 France score 1 - profit £3.75 plus a £5 free bet France score 2 - Lose £5, gain £10 free bet France score 3 - Lose £5, gain £15 free bet etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Brazil, Argentina, France and Germany to top group. £90 returns £370 with YouWin. Also going to plump for Iran, Australia and Ecuador to finish bottom of their group.

Mr Bairn Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You are not understanding the difference between a free bet and money. Hmmm fair point, but there doesn't seem to be any conditions attached to the use of the free bet, so you can stick it on as close to a sure thing as you like.

Honest_Man#1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hmmm fair point, but there doesn't seem to be any conditions attached to the use of the free bet, so you can stick it on as close to a sure thing as you like. But you'd need to stick it on something at evens to even get back the original £5 you'd lost (if you had a £5 free bet, obviously if it was £10 you could put it on at 1/2 etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Chris Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Do you not get stake returned? No. Not only that, if my experience with 888 free bets is anything to go by, you'll need to wager your winnings 200 times or so before you can withdraw anything.

Mr Bairn Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 FIFA always decide what kits the teams wear, and have been known to make teams wear away kits even when there isn't a clash. Having said that the T&C's of the coral bet says "your account will be credited when Brazil kick-off in their yellow kits" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 With Coral: Top Scorer - Neymar @ 10/1 - £5. Groupcast - Free £20 Bet: Brazil, Croatia Spain, Holland Argentina, Bosnia Russia, Belgium £20 returns £1,800. Paddy Power: Winners - Argentina - £10 @ 4/1 Free £5 on first game - Neymar and 3-0 - 22/1 Messi top scorer - £20 @ 13/2 (free fiver bet for every goal he scores) And I still have 4 x free £5 bets. It's silly going on 2 top scorers, but I've been humming and hawing between Messi and Neymar for about a week, so I've plumped on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
