Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yeah, there's a chance they'll void the bets as per the last couple of lines on those T&Cs. But then I'm still even so no loss, got to be worth trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Does still seem a bit liberal of them, £100 limit or not. If loads of people do what Chris has done, they're going to take a fair hit, all of their own making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I was already doing something like you tbf Chris I'm just making the more likely scenarios more profitable and making sure the unlikely possibilities at least break me even. I'm avoiding the Man Utd winning by 4 goals plus though. If that happens, I deserve to lose £100 and PaddyPower deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Very last bets of the season. Hope to end the season on a high. 260 € on Man Utd 18 € on Man Utd (better odds, back in January) 25 € on Giggs to be Man Utd's last goalscorer. Will later do one live bet with 25€ that I'll get back if I lose (bet 365) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just spread £100 over Man U win / Draw correct scores on Paddy Power, thus guaranteeing at least £25 profit provided Barca don't win in normal time. If Barca do win, I get my £100 back. Seemed ridiculous not to do it really. Zero risk, decent chance of £25. Tempted to stick £25 on a Barca win in normal time (Evens), then I'll be looking for that to come in rather than hoping Man U win or draw. Will think that through in the next couple of hours. Same thing occurred to me, and probably everyone else with a Paddy Power account, surely? Says in the t&c they can void bets if they think you're trying to guarantee money. :dowie The smart people would be placing bets over numerous accounts to avoid arousing suspicion, you'd imagine.

Interpolic Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Holy shit! I just noticed that I had a £2 free bet in the games section on Paddy Power. Half an hour later I've just turned that £2 into £162 on Deal Or No Deal. Have withdrawn £100 before I get too excited. Buzzing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Stick the other £62 on a Man Utd or draw score of your choice. Either you break even, or win a whole lot more. Edit: ....please don't do that. I'm an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Stick the £62 on Barcelona to win in extra time at odds of about 9/1. Then even if Barcelona win in normal time the £62 is refunded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Barca -1 is my bet of the day. Also got a free fiver from Hills which I've stuck on Man Utd. £2 on 2-2 £2 on Vidic first goal scorer. £2.50 Messi first goal scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my highest after I withdrew £100 was about £81 and now I'm down to 22p. But still I'm impressed I had the restraint to withdraw anything at all.

Alberto2005 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Is the PaddyPower deal if Barca win in 90 you get a refund? I don't get it then? If you stick 50 on Man U at 13/5 you win 180 If you stick 50 on draw at 5/2 you win 175 And if Barca win you've still got your 100? What have I not understood?

Interpolic Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well if it goes to extra time or pens you're obviously snookered, not sure if I'm missing owt else. I'm better at DOND tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
