    Coral have an offer of 2/1 for Brazil to wear their yellow kit in tonight's game with a max bet of £10, so the return is £30. Seems like a certain win with them basically giving away money in the hope that people will gamble it away through the world cup.

    Hoping? More like an odds certainty. Quite a clever promotion really, you sign up, you bet, you win, you feel buoyed up by it, you "reinvest" the £30, lose that, add a few more in...etc

    Not suggesting people will end up thousands in debt but if they made 30 quid over the top of that on a decent percentage of the punters who takes up that offer, they're quids in.

    I doubt any bookies will have to cycle or walk to work after the world cup.

    It's just alternative to the £20 free bets you get when you sign up.

    I've just signed up and took both on. Stuck £15 in, bet a 5er on Brazil/neymar anytime, got my £20 free bet then stuck a 10er on the Brazil home kit bet.

    Smashing.

    Better than a free bet as it can be withdrawn whereas a lot of free bets require you to bet it through at above certain odds

    Yeah that was quite clearly a training kit ^

    I also got a free £20 bet so have to place that on odds of 1.5 or greater, I'm thinking Uruguay against Costa Rica. If you made the deposit through paypal you also got £5 extra for nothing so by risking £5 I am hoping to end up with £60

    There's an enhanced odds multiple, Spain Mexico and Japan at 6/1, reckon I'm gonna lump my free bet on that.

    Paddy power offered Spain to win the World Cup at 16/1 max stake £50. New phone customers only. I did it and got somebody else to do it for me aswell so £100 on Spain 16/1, too good not to. I'm not sure if the offer will still be available but I don't see why not, their game isn't untill tommorow.

    Seems like you're underestimating the strength of the Ivorian squad, I certainly wouldn't bet against them. Drogba, Yaya, Bony, Gervinho, Kalou, Aurier etc far exceed the ability of the Japanese squad

    Let it be noted that the bet was actually;

    "If Brazil wear yellow".

    They were willing to pay out if Brazil wore their green away kit because the number and letting on the back is in yellow.
