Lets assume it is true. Put €50 on a 4/1 shot they treble odds you  claim. Now you stand to win €600 on the bet. Lay them at 5.1 on betfair for €205 and then stand to make €395 risk free. By all means do the SIMPLE thing and risk your hard earned money. Im just here to offer guys advise on free insurance considering how financially tough i see people are finding this trip. Well, the best way is to put €50 on a 4/1 shot, trebled you win €600. Lay on betfair at 5.1, but lay €325. If the bet wins, you make €600 off paddy power but lose €325 on betfair (€275 profit). If the bet loses, you lose €50 with paddy power but make €325 on betfair (again a €275 profit). All around winning!! Think your maths is a little off as 5.1 on betfair is 4.1/1 in normal terms. Fractions & decimals. Its most likely my fault as i probably overlapped them in my writings above. If anyone wants detailed explanations of what to do il try and help via pm.

You're right sorry. Put your €50 on a 4/1 shot with paddy power, trebled to 12/1, you make €600 if it comes in. Lay on betfair at 5.1, €543.44, if the bet comes in, you make €56.56 profit. If the bet doesn't come in, you lose €50 with paddy power and make €106.56 (€543.44/5.1) on betfair, €56.56 profit.

Not €325 or €395, but free money nonetheless.

I got 5/1 with William Hill to qualify and bet €200.

Coming home from Poland after Italy game and hopefully heading back out.

Remember you posting that before and stuck in my head was was sickened when I missed it! Have refundable accom in Kiev for €55 for two nights so €450 should cover me for travel and expenses fingers crossed

Cheers for the heads up on that 9/1 nvidic

You put 50 on at 5.1 and get 500 at 4/1 and put that free bet on with PP and get 4's on Ireland and then you come win 600!?!?!  AARRGGHH  WTF - somebody simplify this for me please.......in 1 sentence please!! In one sentence  "Follow my instructions and you get a free bet on Ireland with no risk." I decided to simplify this for guys ok 1. Open a new PP account ( has to be new ) 2. Open a betfair account or use your current account with them. 3. Place €50 on PP for Fulham to beat Sunderland. 4. Lay Fulham on Betfair for €51 ( your liability ( what you can lose ) will be €49.47. 5. Potential Result  Fulham win you have €47.62 profit with PP and lose €49.47 on Betfair = €1.85 loss Fulham lose means you lose €50 on PP and win €51 - 5% commision €2.55 = €48.45 = €1.55 loss 6. Both options result in a small loss but for this small loss we get a €50 free bet on Ireland @ 4/1. This roughly gives us a €1.55 bet @ odds of 129/1. Its not one sentence but surely its simplified. Again if anyone has any confusion il happily help via pm/facebook/phone. Now people dont ever be saying the new posters since the euros arent helpful. Give the 1 post guys a chance.

What happens if its a draw
