Paddy Power Special offers

Have a look at this if you fancy a flutter. Seems to be great value on the Aidan O'Brien one. I know I'll be taking a punt!

Bargain Alert. From a bookie. Seriously?

Dutchy

England 10/1 to win the WC. England are always over backed in these contests. As per the ad., most firms are going c.6/1 but I think that 10/1 sounds about right.

Good arb opportunity for anyone who has a betfair account.

Thanks OP.

That email seems to be showing your username, just a heads up!

I have a mate looking to stick 5 grand on England to win the world cup - told him about this and he nearly shat himself.

Of course the maximum bet is €10 on it.

What a bunch of tight arses those lads in Paddypower are :rolleyes:

5k on England, he must be on drugs
England apart from Rooney & Gerrard, have no other class players.
Terry & Cole not playing well, no goalkeeper worth talking about.
If I had 50k, I'd offer him the bet myself.

Defo worth sticking a tenner on em.
good tip my man.
Hardly worth the effort at the 11/2 odds that were offered.

That's mental sticking 5k on that.
anything could happen to them.
first match rooney goes mental after a tackle and punches someone in the face then it's all gone down the toilet.
that's crazy.
wouldn't mind being in the pub with your mate for the games though, say it'd be a good laugh looking at his swinging emotions!

10/1 is still ****.

They basically have to go through the entire tournament without losing against the best in the world, and they suck at penos.

Don't be silly, even if that happens england fans wouldn't blame losing the world cup on one player being sent off

A Bargain Alert from a bookie would have been offering Spain or Brazil at 10/1, not England.

As usual though, people will back it thinking it's value, even though it's only a tenner they all add up for Paddy, only for England to then get knocked out in the Semi Finals.

I really doubt you could actually arb a market like the World Cup.

It doesn't matter what the market is. If there's a diff in the prices you can buy n sell.

The O'Brien special is crap... or am I missing something?

He's 3 runners Fencing Master 14-1, Viscount Nelson 33-1, St Nicholas Abbey 11-10.

10-1 on two of them getting 1st and 2nd???
