Made a balls up by placing the wrong prematch bet. *Facepalm*

My plan was;

£50 prematch Belgium
£50 inplay Wales
£30 prematch (different bookie) draw

That would have bagged me either £10, £125 or £25

However I accidently did £50 pre match draw with Bet365. Teaches me to be doing two things at once! Gone over the outcomes and may be wrong as my head is mashed now but all I can work out is;

Put £30 on Wales pre-match with another bookie and £50 inplay on Belgium will be -£40 if Belgium win.
Put £30 on Belgium pre-match and £50 in play on Wales and will be -£26 if Belgium win.
Or put £50 on Wales inplay and just not bother on anything on Belgium, which will leave me -£50 if Belgium win.

Think ive got those right there. But yeah my head is like mush right now! What a dope.

I suppose ideally you could have gone on live chat straight afterwards and asked them to change the bet - they've let me do it once, but I suspect it would only ever be the once.

How about maybe £50 in-play on over 2.5 goals ?. Returns £117.50, so keeping the other £30 quid gives you a £17.50 profit.

A 2-1 win either way would work in that respect which certainly isn't out of the question.

Stupid disappearing posts won't let me edit the last one, but I guess the other way you can potentially recover your pot is to cash out the pre-match if it stays a draw for long enough.

Still place the in-play, as you'll get that back either way, so keeping the other £30 gives you the starting point of £80 quid.

If it's a draw midway through the second half then you could potentially cash out and still make a profit. Obviously the temptation would be to hang on if it's still a draw at 75-80 minutes, but we all know how those last second goals can go in

I did send a message through right away, so still waiting to hear back on that although I expect I will get a big fat no haha. But like you say, worth a try!

I think if you cash out on your pre-match at any point it voids the in-play offer and so if your in-play loses it wont be refunded. I think so anyway Id need to check the T&Cs.

Yeah, the disappearing posts thing is frustrating at the minute!

You're right about the cash-out ..


I think over 2.5 goals is probably the 'safest' way to go really, as 'safe' as this sort of thing can be - especially since i've just checked again and it's now 7/5, which will get you £120 quid for a £50 stake.

Belgium aren't ranked second in the world just for fun I suppose, so I can certainly see goals. Who knows?. If it does get to 2-1, that pays out and then Wales get a last minute equaliser to take it to extra time so the draw pays out as well - a nice £155 profit in the end !

Bets place as above, plus stuck £20 on Belgium to win with paddy as they are doing their free £5 bet for every goal scored offer on this game. Hopefully looking forward to a decent payout regardless of the result!

I'm tempted by BTTS in the first half. £200 if they do, £6 profit if they don't. There has only been about 3 games in the entire tournament where both teams have scored in the first half though.



Why not just cash it out now? You'd probably only lose about £2. Then place another pre-match bet which will qualify you for the offer. Not sure where doing that stands in the T&C, it's not very clear, it just says cashing out bets voids the offer but I always took that to mean cashing out after kick off or leaving it without a pre-match bet. Surely all the system does is check come kick off whether you've got an outstanding pre-match bet and then base it on that?

Actually, I didn't think of that - very good point indeed. Placing another bet should still qualify for the in-play offer as well.

I did look at doing that initially as cash out is £47.50. But I am unsure if it would void the in-play offer because the prematch is cashed out. I have emailed to ask but no response as yet. I cannot get on live chat.

If you find out let us know because I'd be interested to see as it's not completely clear in the T&C. As I say, I'd assume that it'd just check your active bets at kick off and base it on that so as long as you place another then you'll qualify from that bet. Although I may be completely wrong!

Managed to get through on the Live Chat and fortunately I can cash out and then place another qualifying pre-match. Lesson learned for me

Nice one

couple of quid lost is a lot better than £20 quid plus

Nice one, thought that should be the case but you never know. Good to know for definite.

I think the experts are in here, so I will just ask, anyone have any idea what the odds are on Ibra being the overall top scorer in the Europa League are, or might possibly be?

Win cash live has gone into administration I have 60 quid in an account with them

Hi batdude don't think you will gets on that till the group stage participants are known in August risky market as you don't who else is joining with the champions league fallouts

Yeah, had a butchers as well... No market at the mo, plenty of changes in personnel will happen with the teams involved as well btwn now and the competition proper

Oh okay many thanks for the kind reply, I was not sure how these things worked, so I will wait a month or so, and then come back and ask!

Sky bet have a Price boost

Bale to score, from outside the area at anytime during the 90 minutes. 12/1

Seems very generous, so I gave them a tenner.

I've got £30 in with them and 2 unsettled bets of France to win the Euros and Murray to win Wimbledon worth £170

Did you get the email about lunchtime as well shocking I know now never to bet with any new kids on the block.

Doubt we will see any of that as outstanding account with monies become assets for creditors but I suspect Joe public is far down the pecking order

No, the first I knew of it was reading your post

I've tried to log on but to no avail

Got all my Bet365 offer on belgium to win by 2 or more goals. So far so good!

well when i say all i mean:

£50 Belgium AH +1 @ 2.75 pre-match
£50 draw or Wales @ 1.975 in-play


So Wales or draw = -£1.25 (tiny loss)
Belgium win by 1 goal = Zero profit/loss
Belgium win by 2+ goals = £87.50 profit


Anyone else get worried with these offers over the first 30 seconds or so until the in-play bet goes through?!

you've got a weird way of doing an easy, guaranteed profit
