The League Cup final isn't far away and the lovely guys over at PaddyPower have brought an offer to the table that is too good to turn down, so I'm having some and you can have some too.

All new customers who make a £10 bet get a free £20 bet and with Villa at 13/8 at the moment, if you put that £20 on Aston Villa to win and we do, then you will get back £52.50 - and if you want to be super clever, you can put down your intial £10 bet on Manchester United and then your £20 on Villa and whatever happens - you walk away a winner.

You can do it anyway you want, but you basically can't lose as the odds of 13/8 for Aston Villa and 4/9 on Manchester United are for 'Outright Betting' so there is no draw - it is basically whoever wins. If you do the £10 on Manchester United and they win, you get just under £15 back but if Villa win, well, it's over £50 - but like I said, do it anyway you want.

So, click here, sign up and place your bet. Maybe you can donate a little of the winnings to Acorns and thank the Irish. I'll be buying beer with mine.

For complete transparency, I should also point out that if you click on any of the links above and place a bet, this site will earn a commission. If you want to take advantage of the offer but you would rather PaddyPower made more money, then click this link and take up the offer - we won´t make anything and you will go direct to the PaddyPower website.

... my mistake - will amend later when in front of my machone but if you put the initial tenner on either team and the free £20 on the other - you would be a winner

... Damien, what about the draw ? is there a replay if tied ? Forget the name of that type of bet ( i don`t mean a sure thing ) Did similar a while back on Mourinho to stay/ go, betfair and william hill i think. Good thing when you can get it !

... That is some really cynical shit there. Why not just have a paddypower advert on the top of the site?

... For even more transparency you could go to Betfair and get 2/1 rather than 13/8 with PP and as with all gaming sites you will get free money for opening a new account.
