    Opened a betting account with Coral and got a sign up bonus of 5/1 on Man Utd getting a corner at any time. Max bet was a fiver but good enough for me. £25 win after 3 minutes of the game!!

    Insanity that, they literally were giving money away.

    I think someone will get fired for that, that is a monumental **** up.

    It's a bit like why Just A Bet went tits up.
    If you put a lucky 15 on & only had one winner they'd pay x5 the odds.
    People were coming into the village as Corals & Billy Hill were only giving x3.
    I've seen some of the owld cheps wanting the last horse to get beat if it was odds on & they had a winner at say 6/1 or so.

    Shows how much bookies make when they can afford to literally give away quarter of a mil just to get some new punters in...

    It's just a promo thing. Years ago Mansion gave away $5m on a NFL game. Offered a full refund if $1000 bets lost.

    I had a go on that, just buying money really. Obviously they hope people will gamble the winnings but i just withdrew the 30 and won't use them again, cheers lads <ok>

    I prefer quantative easy. Not perfect but probably more merit than gambling.
