    Well someone has to win.

    If you want a second try, Titan Bet are offering 1 HUNDRED million and 1 million to the best if noone (which they won't) get it. They also offer a signup bonus of up to €250. More details can be found on my blog for anyone interested.

    Boyle's promo is a joke.
    Win a million my ****.
    Sure you can but only if you name the Winners & Runners Up of each Group, the winners of each 2nd rd match, then the winners of the Q/Final, Semis and Final! :eek:
    Picking the favs to finish 1st and 2nd in correct order and then picking the favoured team in every match from then on in and assuming that they all win is about a 7 million to 1 shot. :mad:
    Boylers have the Win a Million plastered all over but in reality you have NO chance of winning it.
    Having said that, you do get points for every selection picked correctly and the top 3 points scorers at the end get €35,000, €10,000 and €5,000 (assuming none wins the milllion).
    1 entry per person and entries MUST be accompanied by a €5 bet (on anything).
    Also have to keep the receipt as that's your entry.

    It's a great competition, quit your complaining :P They are giving you a chance to win 1 million for free! With an added bit of excitement to every game and guaranteed prize money of 50k :)

    What's their policy with multiple winners ? Do they share the million ? Going for the favourites would be in the thousands to one....but hey it's free. Does sound a bit gimmiky. I prefer the Paddy Power style "losing bets refunded if Rooney scores the last goal" specials.

    Yup, money's split for mutiple winners.. Boyles should have plenty of specials for individual matches too..

    Not strictly speaking true, you have to have €5 bet and then put in your entry!
    guaranteed prize money of 50k

    That's 3 prizes.
    How many people do you think will enter?
    As it's online and shops, let's have a guess at the numbers.
    Let's say 150 shops at say 20 entries per shop and the same again for Internet so that's 6,000 entries (total guess could be way under or way over).
    So 6,000 at a "fee" of a €5 bet so Boyle's get €30,000 in turnover which may be winning or losing bets.
    There's 3 prizes so you have a 1 in 2,000 chance of winning a prize!
    This does exclude the chance of winning the jackpot either single or a share in the jackpot but I've already stated that's about a 7 million to one chance of getting that one up.
    Think I'll wait and what Ladbrokes & PP do.

    Just entered that competition online no problem, i think that minimum €5 bet is for entering the competition in the shops

    Its free online anyways, I just entered it there myself and found out that Brazil beat Italy in the final.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    I think its free online if you have placed a bet for €5 or more in the past? Anyway mine's gone through so I'm not worried unless I have to place another bet as dont use me Boyles anymore

    It's free online :) and surely if you're in a shop you'll be having €5 on something anyway! 1 in 2,000 chance sounds good to me, i'm quietly confident!!

    Picking the favs (shortest straight forecast) in the groups alone is a 5295/1 accumulater

    and the closer it gets to the final, the closer the games get pricewise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 951 ✭✭✭Verance


    Haha very slim chance to win €100,000,000 here, but guaranteed prize money of €10,000 so it's fair enough!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,632 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Just follow these simple steps to take part in our World Cup predictor promotion:
    1. Predict the exact score outcome for all 64 games after regular time
    2. Make sure you submit your predictions before that game kicks off
    3. If you change your mind you can modify a prediction as long as that game has not started

    If you successfully call all 64 results we’ll reward you with an unbelievable €100 million. You don’t even have to get all the results right to win big. The player with the most correct predictions will also take home a guaranteed €10,000 in cash

    Jesus I thought Boylers was bad, this is off the wall stuff.
    Correct score in 64 games? :eek: you couldn't get 14 of them right let alone 64 and then the "guaranteed prize of €10,000?".
    At least Boyles have 3 prizes and 35k top prize.
    Offers like this are a total joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 951 ✭✭✭Verance


    Meh, at least somebody will get 10 grand... Hopefully me!! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,632 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Maby but that's 1 prize for probably thousands of entries?
