Colombia vs England (R16) - 19:00 - 03/07/2018

[Mr.Bishie]

Harry Kane to score 50/1

“£1 bet only | Minimum £5 deposit | Plus £5 free bet
should your bet lose | Winnings paid in free bets
Available for a limited time | 18+ T&Cs apply.”

That’s all see.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The evils of bookmakers is about the only thing I agree with Erdogan on. At the very least, this nonsense about being paid in 'free bets' should be illegal.

Totally agree with the latter!

 

[skyscraper101]

I know its bindun but...

 

[Kilgore Trout]

What's the catch?

They get you signed up as a new customer, give you some free bets (if Kane scores) and hope you keep gambling once you've lost them.

I just stick to Betfair exchange.

 

[belboid]

I know its bindun but...

It is not in my nature to ever pick the winning team
Sometimes I think I’m happy then I remember it’s a dream
Now it isn’t in my nature to ever pick a winner
I always pick a bastard who would have me for his dinner

 

[Teaboy]

Am I wrong then?

Looks like I've got it:

What's the catch?

Well I suppose you have to deposit a fiver, which you could probably get back later but most people won't they'll just spunk the rest on some pointless bet.

It could be that Mr.Bishie is right an you'll just get credit for future bets rather than cold hard cash but it does say this:

18+. New UK+IRE customers only. Certain deposit types and cash out excluded. Winning bets paid in cash at normal price. Enhanced odds paid in £5 free bets credited within 24 hours, valid for 4 days, stake not returned. Losing £5 free bet excludes Connect customers. T&Cs Apply.

Which still reads like the £50 would be in cash but the enhanced odds available after Kane scores (betting in play) would be credit. I'm none the wiser though and don't gamble. I've tempted fate enough with this game by being mildly optimistic, actually betting on England would ensure us a sound thrashing.

Enhanced odds refers to the 50/1. You get ten £5 free bets to be used in four days is the way that reads to me.

yes, but if you click through it talks about enhanced odds being 40/1 after Kane scores. Quite frankly none of this will matter when we lose 2-0.

Got £2 on that at 18/1

 

[Steel Icarus]

We need Uri Geller and his big orange spot, not people betting against their own team.

That is SO 1996

The year we got to the Semis in Europe

Oh yeah, the guy who made millions telling oil companies where NOT to drill. I can do that, in fact I reckon I'd be pretty damned good at that, where do I sign up.

 

[planetgeli]

I'd say this is fairly telling.

£1 bet only | Minimum £5 deposit | Plus £5 free bet should your bet lose | Winnings paid in free bets

6/7 games won by the group winners so far. May as well pack up and go home.

Thats how its meant to work - the top teams play a lesser team - but England have gamed the system!!

 

[J Ed]

I'm putting 25 quid on Colombia

 

[not-bono-ever]

My commute home is a cavalcade of England shirts

 

[oryx]

Getting nervous already!

 

[frogwoman]

I won't be too gutted if Colombia win tbh.

Been having a comedy of errors trying to watch the game. it's on 2 a.m. local time, I'm down at the inlaws in the sticks, had been doing OK with web streaming and was set to go in the spare room but now sister in law has stayed the night last minute so turfed out. In a box room, set up again and she tripped the electric drying her hair
Think I'm about good to go now, even if it's a bit of a sweat box in here.

 

[Teaboy]

No surprise with the England team just announced. The same that started the tournament against Tunisia.

Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Henderson, Alli, Lingard, Young; Kane, Sterling

[Steel Icarus]

I've been with Mrs SI over eleven years and this will only be the fourth knockout match England have had in any competition during that time. I still don't think she quite knows what it does to me
