I couldn't see one of these. Has anyone placed some bets or spotted any good offers? I quite enjoyed the £10 on top goalscorer, £5 free bet every time they scored last time. William Hill are doing it this time, I think it was Betfair last.

Me and a friend always put loads of 5-8x fold accumulators on the group results to keep every game interesting. Too many variables to list here!

Also stuck some on Lukaku top scorer and a few others.

What you got?

Hills are offering if you bet £10 on outright winner / top scorer you get £5 free bet each time they win a game or score a goal. Got £10 on Spain at 6/1 and £10 on Aspas at 33/1. Also got each group winner, 1 team from each group under/over goals and Saudi Arabia to be lowest scorers at 7/1.

Nothing yet, not sure I will this time round despite making loads 4 years ago (more by luck than judgment).

Got Brazil in the work sweepstake though so let’s hope they do better than 4 years ago!

Using the Sky offer I put £10 on Argentina to win, their front line is scary.

Also did a £1 trixie on the following to be top goal scorers for their group, going big me :D

Firmino, Suarez, Werner.

I've done a 20 way acca for £20

Went through and picked a match where a great team is playing a rubbish one (Brazil v Iran) etc etc

£9,000 if it comes in. My one and only bet! Interesting to see how far it goes

already won the Russia/Saudi match
