Default Any regular betters out there?...

Hi guys,

I accidentally placed a bet on William Hill online for the world cup. I was just checking the odds/return and hit the "place bet" button by mistake!

My bet therefore is for Holland in the world cup. The odds were at 10/1 , the bet is each way and the stake was £4. My question is this- do I see any money if Holland just reach the final (i.e come second) or do I only win if they win? Over to you then betting shop addicts!!! Ta!

I was thinking of becoming a regular better - BET365 make it very interesting. But my results on this World Cup have been woeful!!.

I just wish I had taken the in-play bet on Holland at 28-1 just after Brazil's first goal!

I originally deposited £20 at the start of the F1 season after making some good predictions last year. It's worked out well so far and I'm breaking even at the moment with 3 bets still outstanding for the British grand prix. So I decided to do a one-off bet on the world cup, hence the ****-up!

I'd like to think I know when enough is enough and that I won't go betting on anything and everything, I'll just be happy at the end of the F1 season having made a few quid off of my original £20.

Any definate answers on my holland bet peeps?...

your each way bet then becomes a 1/3 of your odds so did you put £8 pound altogether seen as you put £4 each way if so you will get just over £12 for just making the final and if you win the final you get £40 and £12 for getting both bets up

Sweet! I'm no football expert- far from it- but I reckon Holland will beat Uruguay fairly easily. So I may well see a return on my accidental bet after all! Thanks for your help DB and PZR.
