The Champions League final, what do you think?

[ACE2M]

Bet 365 now going with this

'Place a pre-match bet on the Champions League final and we will give you a free In-Play bet to the same stake on the big match.

Simply place a bet before kick-off, then once the game starts place another bet on any In-Play market. If your FIRST In-Play bet loses we will refund this stake, up to the value of your largest pre-match bet (up to £50*).'

So for example if I bet £50 on Barca at evens pre match then £50 as soon as the game starts at evens I'm effectively getting Barca at 2/1?

you can look at it that way yes.

The world of palps is conducted entirely fairly in most cases, you should only bet with IBAS affiliated bookies so you have options if you disagree with a bet settlement - bookies are voluntarily tied to the IBAS ruling in any particular case.

Its a 2 way street though, people just steam in backing clearly incorrect lines, angle shooting all over the place for relatively tiny amounts, they are rude and agressive, then they moan their bag off because they can't get a bet on.  If you know a line is clearly wrong don't be the nob who puts a load of money on, contact the bookie and tell them, you're more likely to get a free bet or something out it.

Also you never here about the free money handed out in acts of fairness to many many punters and i'm talking about large amounts.

Big high street UK bookies are on the whole perfectly honourable, they may limit your betting amount if you're shrewd or a twat but thats just business.

Prefer PP's offer. If Barca win in normal time they refund losing bets (FGS,Score cast etc) with a value up to £100.

Both deals V.V good.

I'm going with Paddy power tho.

My book is: 4 scorecasts

£12 on Hernandez 1-0 @ 50/1
£4 on Vidic 1-0 @ 150/1
£1  on Rooney 1-0 @ 50/1
£4  on Messi 3-1 @ 50/1

I'm a bit confused.

I read this as

You bet £50 pre-match so can bet £50 in play as well.

that part is fine

But "If your FIRST In-Play bet loses we will refund this stake, up to the value of your largest pre-match bet (up to £50*)"

So, they will even give you the £50 they gave you to begin with back if it doesn't win?

that looks like a misprint/c&p error

surely the refund is on the original bet not the inplay

[Bongo]

I read it as you place 2 x £50 bets with your own cash and they refund the second bet if it loses.

[Josedinho]

£100 Paddy
Sky don't say what the max is

[celtic]

Man utd will win, and comfortably.

[TheChipPrince]

If Messi scores anytime, inc extra time or a pen in the shootout, refund all scores/casts etc etc

Sounds decent

Backing a Barcelona win scorecast at Paddy Power is horrible.

Why??? If Barca still win but my scorecast is incorrect I still get a refund?

Scorecasts are generally mug bets anyway but quite fun and with the added value of a refund should Barca win its good to have a stab

loooooooooooooooooool. surely a level?


Last time i watched Man U play they were terrible! Gary Neville was well out of shape, Wes Brown was horrendous, Owen couldn't hit a barn, Nicky Butt was probs the best player...
