SkyBet Promotions – Money Back if England Triumph at World Cup

SkyBet are backing England to win the World Cup, with a great money back guarantee. SkyBet will refund all outright bets on any of England’s rivals for the World Cup, if John Terry stands there and lifts the trophy on July 11th. Yes, if England win the World Cup in South Africa, SkyBet will return losing stakes placed on any other nation to win. You will automatically be entered into this, as soon as you place a bet on anyone other than England to win the World Cup. This is a nice feature, for as an England fan placing a bet on Brazil for example to win the trophy, you’re going to win either way. If England win you’ll get your bet refunded, and be dancing in the streets, if Brazil win, then you will at least have some winnings to console yourself with.

SkyBet is loaded with features to fill your every betting desire. Football dominates of course, simply because Sky brings the best of the English Premier League into your living rooms, and they are able to back that service up with a fantastic sports book. One interesting feature in the football section of their sports book, was a Transfer Special section. What was found in here? A list of high profile players, and selections to choose from, where the punter thinks they will be playing next. An example is Liverpool’s Fernando Torres. The bet is, where will he be after the Summer 2010 Transfer Window? Liverpool are 1/2, Chelsea and Man City are both 6/1 or perhaps it’ll be one of the Spanish giants, Barcelona 7/1 or Real Madrid 8/1. This is a fun section, worth exploring if you have your inside tips!

There are some great football promotions to add a little spice to your online experience. Check out their Soccer Saturday Super Six competition, which runs weekly. SkyBet will present you with six matches and all you have to do is guess the correct scores for each. One guy won the £5,000 prize last weekend, for six correct FA Cup Third Round predictions.

SkyBet also offer concessions on their betting, as another football promotion, in a FairPlay award which benefits the punter:

• The most notable one here is their correct score bet. If your correct score prediction is correct at 90 minutes, but then someone goes and scores a late injury time goal to mess it up, SkyBet will refund your stake as a free bet! That could save a lot of stress from seeing a last minute winner go in.
• They do a similar thing with their First Goal scorer bets. If the player you back to score first gets taken off in the first half with scores at 0-0, then you’ll get your stake refunded as a free bet.
• The same refund stands if a player backed to be top scorer in any English or Scottish League transfers to a different league.

An extra bonus for a couple of the above bet concessions, is that SkyBet enhance their odds on first goal scorer and correct score markets for two hours prior to kick off of one of their televised matches.

SkyBet’s online betting service, is definitely one worth checking out, and they sum everything up nicely with their tagline “it matters more when there is money on it.” Perhaps there are fewer truer words spoken when it comes to sports betting. If horse racing is more your thing, then SkyBet offer special daily Extra Values on their horse racing book, with some races features for little extra incentives like 5 places for an each-way bet, instead of the normal three. Check out their promotions page for bonuses on their live racing.

Poker? Casino? Games? Yes, they are all there as to be expected. Their Sky Vegas section really is excellent, and you can got lost in there for hours playing games, including a penny arcade. They have their own promotions in there, as well as a welcome bonus, so it is worth exploring and seeing what is on offer for yourself. The same can be said of their Bingo section, which is also excellent and extensive.

But their Sports Book is where SkyBet really shine, and they genuinely do challenge for some of the best market prices around, without question. A wide range of sports are covered, and some non-sporting ones such as politics and TV and Film Specials. It’s all there, driven by a left hand menu, so you don’t have to go searching too hard for the bet that you want. Under the tennis, Andy Murray was found at 11/2 to win the forthcoming Australian Open.
