I'm ridiculously and unfeasibly happy to have won this yesterday on a £10 free bet.

Even more so because the final Bournemouth corner that clinched the win was in the last minute.,

I suspect that you uttered a minor curse when that dreadful referee Taylor blew for half-time just as City were about to take a corner. :wink:
Incidentally in the West Ham game their idiot ref Rob Jones forgot to give West Ham a corner after a VAR review when Thiaw was deemed to have touched the ball in his tackle and the ball went out of play.

On such decisions are fortunes won and lost but well done for yesterday.

Leeds 17/5, Liverpool 3/4.

Leeds will really go for their soft underbelly - seems very generous to me.

Ermedin Demirovic top Bosnia goalscorer 5/1, 40-year-old Edin Dzeko the fav in the market but minutes got to be against him, should be on pens if Dzeko is not on.

Spain top tournament goalscorers 4/1.

A football ITV 7 story (true story at that) - never done it myself but (you probably know all this) it's free to enter and I believe you have 7 Qs to answer - like No of corners, No of shots on target, No of yellow cards etc. etc. with a tie breaker nominating the minute the 1st goal will be scored.

My son is a swimming coach, one of his swimmers turned 18yo on 21st June and decided he'd enter the ITV 7 on the Brazil v Scotland game, 3 days later

He only went and won it so copped £10k for his efforts.

Lucky fcuker, that's insane. Still, he'll probably think it's easy, get hooked, lose it all, go into debt, turn to alcohol to bury the pain, then drugs, and die under a bridge by the time he's 21. :wink:
