Bet365 are doing their £50 free bet on England v Russia - any thoughts?

A 'no lose' one would be £50 pre match on over 0.5 goals and £50 inplay England to win at 11/10. A little bet elsewhere to cover the 0-0 at 6/1 would be completely safe but I don't think I'll bother with that.

A bit more daring: Both teams to score pre match 1/1 and England to win.

I think I need to study this...

Haven't checked the details yet but I saw LeoVegas were offering 5/1 on England, max bet a tenner, for new customers.

Could use that then go £50 Russia/Draw pre-match guaranteeing a profit or at least no loss, leaving you free to bet £50 on whatever you liked inplay. I'll study it too when I'm more awake.

Decided to leave the Leovegas offer as I can use the Bet365 offer on this one, I might as well hope that LV put up an offer on a subsequent game that Bet365 aren't covering with their inplay offer later in the tournament.

Gone for the usual £50 on over 0.5 goals with Bet365 and covered no first goalscorer with Coral. I'll put the £50 on something I fancy during the game. Tempted by Russia half-time/England full-time at 28-1. I stand to lose a couple of quid if it doesn't come off but a couple of quid for a £50 bet sounds a good deal to me.

Incidentally, if anyone else plans to do the same... bet on no first goalscorer rather than 0-0. I think this way they still pay out if the only goal in the game is an own goal.

Slovakia at 15/8 seems a very good price.

Wales have played poorly since a couple of very good results against Belgium. This seems to have fooled people into thinking they are suddenly a very good side. Their group consisted of Andorra, Israel, Bosnia and Cyprus and they managed to score just 11 goals in the whole of qualifying.

Since they beat Cyprus last September they have drawn with Israel and NI, lost to Bosnia, Holland, Ukraine and Sweden and only beaten Andorra.

I've put a £50 bet on the above to get my £50 free bet with Ladbrokes.

Put my £50 free bet on England to beat Sri Lanka at evens just before the second new ball.

Gone for Russia half-time, England full-time.

Was 22-1 but waited a few seconds and got 25-1.

Be a nice £1,250 profit if it comes in!

I had the England win which would've been nice - over 1.5 in play and used a Bet Bright offer for the draw so came out on top and had a free bet (subsequently wasted on the baseball!). All in all OK though. One of these days I'm going to nail this Bet365 offer.

I've won two or three hundred on the Bet365 offer before by playing relatively sensible. I always go for odds of 20-1 or more now though. The way I see it, you're having a free bet for the chance of getting a holiday.

I do normally try with my inplay to pick something with decent odds but couldn't think of anything last night with England - hopefully we'll get another chance against the Welsh to fill our pockets.

The Bet365 offer is back for the Wales game.
Over 0.5 pre match then England win 2-1?
