Don't want this to get lost in the main betting thread so here goes:

Right, Bet365 are doing their offer again where if you place a bet on the Spain Italy game on Sunday they will give you a free bet in play (a bet placed when the game has kicked off) up to the value of £50. You can see the offer on the side bar here: http://www.bet365.com/home/FlashGen4/WebConsoleApp.asp?&cb=3384

So to get a guaranteed return you have to do the following:

Deposit £100 into your Bet 365 account.

Put £50 on Spain to win at 8/11. This will win you £36

Open an account with Betfair.

Put a £23 bet on Italy to win at 9/2 (it will be written as 5.4). This will win you £101

Put a further £26 bet on Spain at 5/6 (written as 1.84). This will win you £22

Now, just wait until the game starts and back the draw straight away on Bet365, the price is likely to be the same as it is now (13/5).

Put a £50 bet on the draw at 13/5. This will win you £130.

The break down will look like this:

If Spain win you will win £36 + £22 = £58. You will get your in play bet back but lose your £23 bet on Italy. Leaving you with £35.

If Italy win you will win £101. You will get your in play bet back but lose your bets on Spain (£50+£26= £76). Leaving you with £25.

If it is a draw you will win £130. You will get your stake back for this bet because it has won. You will lose your stakes on Spain and Italy (£50+£26+23=£99). Leaving you with £31.

This worked perfectly for the derby when they did the same offer.

Also if you're not already a Betfair customer it's even better as they will refund your first bet if it loses: https://promotions.betfair.com/genericeuro-35cashbacknl-uk?clkID=23113_9C8A8DE67BFA4CF4811BDACBB472AB&rfr=23113&ttp=111&pid=65840&bid=7746

This means that should Italy win you'll be left with £51, or if it's a draw you will have £57.

Jimmy, when you've got a minute can you e mail this bloke?

Here's another one:

Boyle sports have the following offer that if you back Ireland using their mobile app they will pay out as long as Ireland score: http://freebet.boylesports.com/mobile-euro-2012-offer/#slider-toogle

This means that you are getting 16/5 on Ireland to score.

So £20 on Ireland to win will win you £64 should Ireland score.

Go on to Betfair and find the market Croatia Clean Sheet.

It should say Croatia Clean Sheet No on the second line. Lay this. Laying means that you think something will not happen. (No clean sheet will not happen = Croatia clean sheet)

Lay this market with the liability of £39 to you. This means that if Croatia keep a clean sheet you will get £50 if they do not keep a clean sheet you will lose £39.

The overall picture looks like this:

Ireland score you win £64, but you lose £39. This leaves you with £25.

Ireland do not score you win £50 but you lose £20. This leaves you with £30.

nice one Jimmy, worked a treat albeit understandably the odds were kinder for Esp:Ita when you originally posted. thank you.

will be sure to pick your brains at the London Alty meet on Wednesday. would imagine your backing less than 2.5 will probably hold true for Fritz:Ruud then.

Well you all know the drill by now, you can see the offer on the front page of Bet365:

Bet365: £50 on Italy at 15/8 = £143.75
Stan James: £50 on England at 19/10 = £145
Bet365 in-play: £50 on draw at 15/8 = £143.75
 
In addition:
 
Stan James: £17.50 on Draw at 2/1 = £52.50
 
This breaks down as:
 
Italy win = £167.50 out = £143.75 + £50 in = £26.25 profit
England win = £167.50 out = £145 + £50 in = £27.50 profit
Draw = £167.50 out = £143.75 + £52.50 in = £28.75 profit

This is all correct as of now. I don't think that the prices will move much, England may shorten and the draw go out a a bit but there won't be enough movement to change things too radically.

Also, other than Bet365 it doesn't matter which bookies you use just as long as you get the odds quoted above. Remember the bet on the draw with Bet365 has to made in play so make sure you're near a phone/computer whilst watching the match!
