Football Idol Help Thread

Thought I'd put up an "official" help thread to avoid cluttering up the forum in case anyone has questions about rules or whatnot.

So - shoot! Very Happy

emm.. i can't find this in Bet365 as i don't do lucky15 etc. Could you copy and paste from the Bet365 rules and i'll take a look at it.
Cheers!

Are we allowed to use the happy hour option that is running at the moment. i.e. Freddie Ljungberg to score anytime now 2.75 from 2.37??

If it exists, it's ok with me. Just remember to state the circumstances of the odds. I don't mind if you keep winning with this "happy hour" option, as it will open the eyes of the forum to such offers. So please state "Bet365 happy hour odds" and the time of the odds next to your selection. Good luck to you! Wink

Remember, this is not a tipping competition. This is a challenge to make £10000 profit from £200.

That's absolutely cool.

Already from this challenge starting, I've found new ideas for bets so i've gotta say nice one and cheers for getting the whole thing going!

Cheers for the help and especially the quick reply.

Glad to be of service.

ok.. just help me out here by clarifying this question:

Let's say you do a Lucky 15, and you only get just 1 selection correct and the other 14 wrong, you would get the offer: i.e. the odds for that 1 selection is trebled.

If you got 2 or more correct, the offer does not apply. Am i right here, Londoner?

sure Londoner... no problem mate.

you can use the "treble the odds" offer on that category of bets in the markets as stipulated by Bet365.. though I think you'll still end up with a loss if only 1 (a single) out of the 15 bets came through.

OK, the Valerenga - IFK Goteborg match in my treble for today has been postponed. Should I:

a) Just edit it out
b) Void that match, setting the odds to 1.0

???

Bet365 are offering PSV etc as I've got a bet on them. If you go to the site and then click "Soccer - Thursday's matches" you should find them. Very limited markets so no nice -1 or -1.5 AH for PSV I'm afraid Crying or Very sad

Actually don't think they have Benfica but they have about 6 games for tonight listed I think.

Yeah, sure, but what I'm asking is would it void my whole treble or is it just effectively reduced toa double? (don't see any point in that, I could just post a new double bet as none of the matches have started, but...)
