Win
Well we have had a bet this month. I wasn’t expecting to be betting until the Premiership started. With little interest in Big Brother 10 and no real interest in any other sport we weren’t going to bother.
Anyway, marketing does work on some people. Pod got an email from Paddypower saying that, they were having a special. Place 5 bets in July and whatever the average amount of the bets is, they will give you a free bet up to £100 to use in July. Bets must be 1/3 or better. Not a sparkling offer but OK.
So our mission is to place 5 bets with Paddypower this July. First bet has gone well. SK Brann vs Fredrikstad FK. Brann were 1.67. Pod phones up to put the bet on. They have some disagreement out the special offer so 10 minutes later he gets to put the bet on. Odds have gone up for Brann as Fredrikstad have scored. Price was 2/1.
After some relief that we dodged a bullet, we decided to stick it on Brann anyway at 2/1. If we were going to have the bet at 1.67, 3.00 is a bargain. Pod rings up again and gets 3.1 for £100. They left it late but Brann come good. Bank at +£210.
So 4 more bets to go until we get our free bet from Paddypower. Next bet is Brann again vs Lyn Oslo in the Norwegian cup. Price is 4/7. Not a clue about this but generally, 4/7 teams win their games.
