Sky Bet offered a great value 40/1 offer on England captain Harry Kane to have a shot in England’s last World Cup against Congo, and the skipper duly delivered with a brace to see the Three Lions through to the next round. Don’t worry though if you missed because the bookie is now offering the exact same promo again ahead of Mexico vs England tonight!

Sky Bet offering enhanced odds welcome offers has been a recurring theme since the start of the World Cup, with the bookie running one on every single England game so far. And Kane has been the focus a few times, which is no surprise given he’s bagged five of England’s eight goals at the tournament. Let’s walk through the offer in more details.

How the latest 40/1 Sky Bet sign up offer works

sky bet england vs mexico sign up offer

To qualify, new customers need to register a Sky Bet account, deposit at least £5 and place a maximum £1 first bet on Harry Kane 1+ Total Shots (Including Extra Time) in Mexico vs England before kick-off. This bet can be found under the Player markets tab; don’t hesitate to reach out to Sky Bet customer support if you have trouble finding it.

If Kane records at least one shot during the match, your bet will settle at the standard odds in cash, with Sky Bet topping your returns up to the enhanced 40/1 price using four £10 Free Bet Builder tokens, each valid for 14 days.

Even if Kane somehow fails to register a single effort, qualifying customers will still receive a consolation £10 free bet within 72 hours, providing a useful safety net.

Alternative Sky Bet sign up offer promotions are also available, including Bet £20 Get £60 and Bet £10 Get £40 plus a boost token, while you can also compare the best betting sign up offers if you’re shopping around before opening a new account.

England vs Mexico: Kane looks well placed to land the boost

England needed Harry Kane to rescue them in the previous round, with the captain scoring twice after Thomas Tuchel’s side had trailed DR Congo for much of the contest.

Kane has averaged 1.25 goals per game at the World Cup so far, only drawing a blank once in the goalless group stage draw with Ghana. Meanwhile he’s averaged 4.5 shots per game too, with a high of seven against Croatia and a low of three against both Panama and Ghana. With that in mind, taking up the Sky Bet 40/1 new customer offer and backing him to attempt a shot looks like a no brainer if you’re already planning on signing up.

Indeed, the regular odds on Kane to have one or more total shots are just 1/50, and that includes extra time too. To put it simply, it’s difficult to imagine a match in which he doesn’t manage at least one attempt on goal.

Mexico will certainly make it tough work for England. They’ve actually got a better record at the tournament than the Three Lions so far, having won all four of their matches without conceding, including a 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the last 32 last time out. Their outstanding defensive record and formidable home support at the Estadio Azteca should ensure England are tested far more severely than in previous rounds.

Still, that could actually work in favour of this promotion, with a tighter contest likely to encourage England’s captain to shoot whenever opportunities arise.
