I think the bet is on its last legs. Durham havent put up much of a first innings so it'll be an easy chase with no big hitting  sorry. tikay may not be running the show at the moment but the same rules apply - no "sorries". It was my decision to place the bet. |

Onions has hit another however so Durham all out for 121. Just need 5 sixes in the run chase!

That was always "the plan", right? |

In case there is another free bet offer like Bet365's in the future I thought I'd post an alternative possibility for their use.
There are 3 main options for the offer:
1 - Bet £50 on an outcome, in-play bet £50 on same outcome - double winnings if it comes off, only £50 lost if it doesn't instead of £100. Fred's choice so far.
2 - Bet £50 on an outcome, in-play bet £50 on a different outcome - hope both come off for lots of winnings, only £50 lost if in-play bet loses, first £50 is on a different market so might still give profit/break-even/small loss.
3 - Bet £50 on a double-chance outcome, in-play bet £50 on the other outcome. Guaranteed profit, but not as much as the other 2. But guaranteed no loss.
Which one you go for depends on how much you want to risk/gain.
Fred has gone for option 1 so far, so lost £50 on the Spain v Italy game, but made a good profit on the England v Italy game.
Option 3 would have meant a guaranteed profit in both however.
Obviously you have to be careful with the odds but I have read that this has worked with Bet365's last 5 offers. I did it myself yesterday - bet £50 on England/Italy double chance at 1.36, then in-play bet £50 on the draw at 2.87. The draw meant a profit of £43.50. If either team had won the profit would have been £18.
Just a thought as obviously Fred has made a lot more than I did!
You may be guaranteeing a profit with option 3 but you are pissing equity away. Pissing equity away maybe, but also pissing away the chance to lose money. Personally I am happier knowing I will win, but as I said it's just a suggestion. |

Bet is in. Very comfortable in the end. Boom!
I'm happy about winning some money for myself. But I think I'm more psyched about winning money for the Fred
