I had a £1 full cover bet, £15 total, on Real Madrid, Fulham, Rotherham and Coventry, all in normal time. Rotherham only drawing after 90 minutes cost me £81, the bet returned £33 instead of £114!
I had some money on Real to win but...... :(

Race 6 - 5:15pm yesterday
THE INVESTEC SURREY STAKES (CLASS 1) (Listed Race)

A Stipendiary Steward reported that he witnessed a ½ lb lead weight drop out of William Buick’s breeches after weighing out. The Stipendiary Steward and Buick were interviewed. Buick explained that he was not intending to carry the weight but was going to replace it with a drink of water. The rider was re-weighed prior to the race and drew the correct weight on weighing in. Buick was fined £650.

Yeah right

Anyone doing 'Beat the Drop' on Paddy Power? It's free. You start with a million pounds and have to split it between two options - for example 'Will Poland score before the 29th minute against Lithuania?' In all there's 20 bets and you keep whatever you have left at the end. Basically a really drawn out Million Pound Drop.

Lewandowski at 33/1 for golden boot at skybet.

Golden boot is usually 5/6 goals and Poland dont have the hardest group, so he could have it in the bag even if Poland don't get out the group

I'd be staggered if he scored 5 or 6 and Poland didn't get out of the group!

Brazil and Germany worth a look on a handicap -2 perhaps.

Not sure on that to be honest.

Mind you I have taken a punt on Serbia, Germany and Brazil all winning to nil.

Interestingly, they are repeating this for England v Tunisia, however they have capped the free bets at 3.

With all the low scoring games so far, if you want to have a bet on a goalless draw, make sure you choose "no goalscorer" rather than 0-0 Correct score. The odds are the same, but I got paid out on the Morocco - Iran match on the no-goalscorer bet, as own goals don't count
