Free Bets

[Rhinestone_Cowboy]

When opened my bet 365 account in 2010 i was told i would get a £5 free bet for every £200 i bet. Looks like this is not the case anymore as done £240 last week and no free bet.They said they have never heard of the £200 to get a £5 free bet

They seem to give me a free 5 every few weeks no idea what for and is a winning acount...love Bet365

Got a £5 free bet from Bet365 when said there free bet bonus was rubbish up against skybets.Put it on Pingshou for the Arkle.Will let this account tick over till march then it gets the axe!!!

I thought it was linked to the balance in account or simply a loyalty bonus paid at their discretion, I get £10 a week at minute and average over £2k in the account, average stakes per week over £1k

I don't think it is balance in the account as I withdraw every return and deposit for every new bet so the balace is always £0.00 and I get £10.00 "free" fairly regularly.

The average stake would be less for me than £1000 on 365 but I spread around numerous bookmakers.

I've never thought to ask them why I am getting it, it seems random and is always "loyalty". I'm loyal as they're usually best price and are 1/4 the odds...and offer cashout when I find out a horse is injured for a few hours

must be loyalty based on volume of bets then I reckon. Thanks for that, I'll not be as concerned with shifting money from other accounts into Bet365 in future, although they are by far the most used and best account I have, every other has limited my stakes and available offers. Bet365 have thankfully never done it so far.

William Hill are doing the scratchcard everybody saturday/Sunday. Typically a bet and get e.g. yesterday was bet £10 on any horse racing market get £5 free, and today bet £10 on any nfl market et £5 free bet, I’ve never been rewarded for turnover though.


Betway are similar with the bet and gets, bet365 seem to have slowed their distribution of them.


Coral seem to have some stand out prices for antepost so interested to know if they do any?

I think if you have their "connect" card , and use it when you bet during the week,. then you get free bets on the weekend.?? (corals)

BetBright have an offer for their "App"


Between £5 and £50 free bet

Have 10x bets and get a free bet (Between £5 and £50) if you use the "App"

Must be 5/2 or bigger



I'm taking that to mean they'll give you the value of the lowest bet of the 10 that you place on their app at 5/2 or bigger.

I imagine that could tempt some people or might suit their style already.

How's about this one that I've just started 'farming' for free bets.

Betway have an NFL offer where if your team loses but the last score is a field goal you get your money back as a free bet up to 20 pound. I looked back through weeks 4-6 matches and found that in around 55% of them the last score was a field goal. Anyone who follows the sport more closely than me do say if that sounds wildly out.

My theory is to focus on the slightly closer match ups say between 3-6 points on the handicap, as they are more likley to finish with a field goal (no idea if this true but doesn't really matter), backing the outsider to win. I've not been able to calculate how often the favourite wins in these relatively close match ups but imagine 60% of the time is on the conservative side. This would mean if you played this bet 10 times, your outsider would lose 6 times and in all likelihood around 55% of those matches i.e. 3 the last score would be a field goal, which would get you a free bet.

Now you may of course (cough cough) wish to lay off your bet on the outsider on betfair in so doing lose around 1 pound a game, so for 10 games you'd lose a tenner, but gain 60 quid in free bets for Cheltenham...in theory at least, only done it 3 times over the last couple of weeks and gained 2 free bets, so might have a few more this week

Theres an NFL thread on the General horseracing forum R.C , might find out some info there.

Cheers BC, reasonably confident I'm in all the ball park on this. Actually landed again on the first game of the weekend early this morning, so that's 3 from 4 (or 60 quid of free bets for Cheltenham for a 4 pound exchange loss). Not expecting it to continue at 75% but even if it drops to the conservative 30% still a cracking deal. Can't see them continuing this much longer as must be giving out a fortune in free bets

It's a great offer. You need to maximise it while your account lasts RC.

Wise words FM, hoping to learn from past errors by trying not to take advantage too much and throwing in some footy access to keep the account open

This week free £5 bet on Sky I have had Annamix and Getabird in a double.

 

[thistlecracker]

Not quite a few bet but I have my accounts signed up to rewards 4 racing and get points for all the bets I place. I then use these to get free vouchers to attend the races in person.

Yes, a great offer, my 365 account is so I've had my Cheltenham ticket with that for the last couple of years.

It really is good. If anybody here is aged between 18-24 then you can get an 18-24 racepass which gets you 50% off a lot of jockey club tickets. That includes festival Wednesday, you can get a club enclosure ticket for £45!

I’ve been using bet365 for years and never knew this! My betting accounts and rewards for racing have been on different emails, just signed up again so they match

Do you have to go through their site every time to make sure you are credited?

 

[thistlecracker]

No you don’t have to go through the site every time. They will credit your account automatically, sometimes if I haven’t logged onto rewards for racing for a little while I then get an email to “claim my points” but if you think you have missed any then it is easy to claim

You can link Betfred and Coral accounts as well I think.

I also claim points from purchases on online, using it a bit like a Quidco account.

 

[Hurricane fly]

Frankly amazing and means I’ll probably be going to the fez for free

I think you have to log in to their site at least once per week or you lose the previous weeks posts.
They send a weekly email so I use that as my cue to login and check my balance and that ensures the points are credited.
