Paddypower offers a £50 matched bet. I just set up an account to bet, if my girlfriend sets one up too.. I put £50 on Sonnen to win, they match it with £50 so the total stake is £100 = 2/1 returns £300 and I'd profit £200 If I use my girlfriends and bet on Silva to win also £50 to win + their £50 matching so total stake at £100 4/11 and he wins returns £136 and I profit £36 Either way I profit, that can't be right? I feel like I'm being really thick and missing something blatantly obvious here. lol
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question I guess they know from experience that you are likely to spunk the £136 on other bets.
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question Are ya sure? lol I'm about to put £100 on it then if I lose I'm gonna come kick your ass in whichever way the fight ends, so if you get arm barred by a randomer next week you'll know why
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question Yeah i thought maybe thats the case. I haven't gambled in maybe 10 years though
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question They do the whole free bet thing hopeing that people dont think like you lol. but ye worth doing dude.
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question I know you usually get your stake back but will you on the £50 they give you?
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question Nearly right, sadly the matched stake is not returned with the profit/returns. So you'd either return £250 on sonnen winning, or £86 on Silva.
Am I being dense - betting on UFC question You dont get your free stake back. So total outlay for you and the missus will be £100 if the favourite guy wins, you'll get your 50 notes back plus £36 ergo £14 down, no?
