Betfair Unite Football and Poker

Sunday June 29, 2008

It's been a blistering tournament so far, and for once we're not talking about the World Series of Poker. No, we're not just poker junkies here, also appreciating some of the finer things in life such as football and beverages. While the Spaniards have been sinking Italian dreams and the Dutch lost their courage, we've been missing out on some valuable poker time though, which is why this particular promotion from Betfair has caught our eye.

Betfair Poker's latest Daily Freerolls have been a footie fan's dream as the goals fly in at Euro2008. To celebrate the European Championship, they've been bumping up the prize pool for every goal scored during the tournament. Each freeroll starts at 22:00 UK time with a basic prize pool of $200 - Betfair then adds an additional $200 for each goal during that day's matches. So, for example, if 5 goals were scored, an extra $1,000 will be added to the freeroll. Betfair have already given away a staggering $9,300 to the Freeroll Prize Pools so why not start joining in on this action packed fun? Anyone can enter these unmissable freerolls which take place 22:00 UK Time.

The Euro 08 partnership doesn't stop there, Betfair Poker have also adjusted their daily $16k Guaranteed changing your starting stack to 3,000 instead of 2,500 and allowing you football fanatics to deliberate over your hand for an extra 5 seconds!
