What is 2up? 2up is a popular matched betting offer where the bookmaker pays out early if the team you backed to win scores 2 consecutive goals ahead of the other team. Note: 2 consecutive goals ahead. So if the score is 1-1, your team needs to get to 3-1 before it’s a 2up payout as it needs to be 2 goals ahead and they need to be one after the other.   What bookies offer 2up? The main bookies that offer 2up are Bet365, Sky Bet and Paddy Power. Do note that both Bet365 and Sky Bet have special markers for 2up so make sure to bet on these to qualify.   How do I pick a team to back? T ..read more

Manchester City’s odds on winning the Quadruple have shrunk to just 10/1. No team has ever done the Quadruple but City look well placed to have a real go, although at this stage last season they were also going for all four trophies they could win – in the shape of the League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League. Last season City completed a double by winning the Premier League and League Cup, but they came up short in their quest for all four. But their bid for the Quad remains on this season, and  City could complete the first of a possible four leg triumph if they take vic ..read more
