I don't bother covering 0-0 either anymore. What I tend to do is Dutch it - which means covering all three results at three different bookies for an overall qualifying loss of about two quid, regardless of the final score. The reason for this is that you can take advantage of other offers at the same time. 888sport will give you a free bet if your result is screwed by a late goal, Boyle sports give you a free bet if either side hit the bar.

And after all that, I then have my 50 quid risk free bet in play to do what I want.

Must admit [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] have been following your lead now after the last 0-0. Hasn't done me wrong yet.

Id say there's been about 50 matches with this offer and at a guess 7 or 8 0-0s - not once has there been 4+ first half goals if memory serves me right. Says it all. That's also £350-£400 extra those doing the 0.5 - draw bet would have. Bit of a risk but stats speak for themselves. I'm not saying there won't be a game when there's 4 first half goals cos law of averages suggests there will be and there's been a few close shaves with 3 first half goals.

Let's be clear here: it took me, what, 2 years or more before I got round to sorting myself out with Bet365. There is no chance whatsoever of me being organised to join up with further bookies and then research other offers, do the math, deposit cash and make the bets. NO CHANCE.

As it was I locked myself out of my Bet365 account tonight so nearly missed out again.

Sorry, I'm being stupid. 0.5+ / draw netted me £60 profit. [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] is quite correct, of course in that his approach would have made that £115, give or take.

But, of course there is still a risk that there's 4 first half goals and the game doesn't end in a draw... I'm not advocating people taking risks of course and the 0.5 draw does make it totally risk free... I weigh up what a £50 loss would mean against the £100s I've made from the offer etc...

If you're just doing that 0.5 - draw so far [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] it could be worth doing a few smaller bets on the account on other random stuff - just so you don't get banned from offers as they sometimes do this without warning for those 'abusing' it...

I can only seem to find under 2.5 goals first half not under 3.5? (which is why I haven't done it)

It's not available on every match. It also comes and goes sometimes in the lead up to a game depending on who is playing etc so you have to keep an eye out. I wouldn't do under 2.5 first half - more chance of over 0.5 while game I'd say..

*** Noticed on the site there's a 10 free spins on casino offer when you transfer £10 into casino wallet. It should use your free spins first and have no roll-over requirements so worth doing (someone may wanna check that though as not done it myself yet. Spins will only be 25p each I guess but could net everyone a couple of quid to put on Dunk first scorer v Derby ;) )

Tend to agree with you, I cover the 0-0 but I like to do the draw as soon as they kick off so it just suits me that way.
Also with the 0-0 if it does finish that way even though you lose on the first bet if you have not covered it you still end up with profit anyway.

However anybody does it good to see plenty making a profit though.

Shame it doesn't seem to be on for tomorrow. Maybe they'll do it for Liverpool Thursday? They seem to have made money on last weeks' one so surprised they aren't doing it again...!

Damn, looks like they might only do it one more time this year (for the Champs league final)
