6 by my reckoning. If you dutched them all at best bookies price it would pay around 3.45. If you dutched them all at current exchange price it would pay around 4.7.

Rule 1 for these sort of bookies offers is to compare them to what you could get by simply taking the best available price(s). This one looks just short of being fair given that it falls between best bookie and exchange odds.

Always assume a bet the bookies are pushing at you is poor value unless you do the “due diligence” and have a reason to think otherwise.
