    Lads, don't want to come across as a spammer but I think most of you know me by now so hopefully it's OK to post this. A pretty good deal to be honest!

    Betfair are promoting their budget petrol market:



    BETFAIR, the world’s biggest betting community, today announced an offer which will, quite literally, get punters all pumped up.

    Budget 2011 is expected to be the toughest in the history of the State but Betfair are planning to ease the Budget Blues by giving away €50 of free petrol or diesel to any thirsty vehicle which makes it to the pumps at the Maxol Service Station on Mespil Road, Dublin 4, between 10am and 12 noon tomorrow, Monday 6th December.

    The offer will no doubt come as a welcome relief to brow beaten motorists and consumers who can only be looking ‘forward’ to Tuesday’s speech by Minister Brian Lenihan with trepidation.

    Betfair Spokesman Barry Orr commented today: ‘’Our customers are betting that there will be a significant increase in the price of petrol, so before the inevitable happens, we’re offering a straight up, no strings attached, free fill-up’’

    ‘’All you have to do is get to the nearest Service Station to Dail Eireann, the Maxol Station on Mespil Road, between 10am and 12 noon and we’ll top up your tank to the tune of €50’’

    ‘’Hopefully the offer will come as a welcome throwback to the heady, carefree days of the Celtic Tiger before the harsh reality of this Budget hits home on Tuesday afternoon! At Betfair, punters are used to getting better value on their betting but on this occasion, we felt we needed to go a step further to put a smile, however fleeting, back on the face of the Irish Public”


    By how much duty will Minister Lenihan add to a litre of Petrol in his 2011 Budget Speech: 9-4 8c or under, 2-5 Over 8c

    Haven't seen it online but it's a genuine press release that will be out tomorrow. As some of you know, I do a few bits and pieces for Betfair so I can confirm it's genuine.
