888sport. A mistake.

I made a mistake.

Didn't read the T&C's for 888sport's offer.  It wasn't a matched bet, it was a no-lose bet.  Bet £20 and if the selection loses, you'll get a £20 free bet.  If the selection wins, you keep the winnings but no free bet.

Muggins here, backed 'Over 2.5 goals' for Man Utd v Villa at just 1.61 (8/13 in fractional odds) but laid at Betfair for 1.70.  Overall, a £1.41 loss at 888sport, when Man Utd beat Aston Villa 3-1.

Live and learn, onto the next one now... Paddy Power!
