Request-a-Bets (was 'Sky Bets' thread)

Good spot thanks Charlie, 40-1 feels way too big. Unfortunately I'm heavily restricted with Sky so max bet £2.50 :highly_amused:

Might see what price Hills or BFSB will offer
 
They will only allow me £6.25 as a free bet on that.


That's 2 out of 4 Sky accounts gone :highly_amused:

Will check the others soon....


How have you managed to get extra accounts Kev? Mine is long gone and it would be very handy!!
 
Hi lads - good to see plenty of posters here for the summer months ahead. Let’s keep this forum nicely active with this thread and the forum yankees again like last year.

My weekly Skybet Freebets so far:
Week 1 - Trixie: Altior (Champion Chase @ 3/1) Paisley Park (Stayers Hurdle @ 3/1) & Tiger Roll (Cross Country @ 5/2)
Week 2 - RequestABet Treble: Altior (Champion Chase), Paisley Park (Stayers) & Klassical Dream (Any Race) @ 100/1
Week 3 - RequestABet Treble: Altior (Champion Chase), Paisley Park (Stayers) & Klassical Dream (Any Race) @ 100/1
Week 4 - Gypsy Island to win the Mares Novice Hurdle @ 12/1
Week 5 - Draconien to win the Arkle @ 40/1 Each Way
 
Thinks i will have to add Draconien next week before you lot mop up all that 40/1 :highly_amused::highly_amused:
 
100/1 Any Race - Paisley Park, Altior, Klassical Dream

...has a bit of appeal....

Also an Altior, Paisley Park, Defi Du Seuil(Ryanair) at 100/1 does too.

I prefer the former.

I think a fair few of us on here are already on the PP, Altior and Klassical Dream bet at 100/1 from a few weeks back.

Yeah I can see, looks a fair price.



I still think 'saving' the 'free' £5 bets is a good way to go this year, but easier said than done. :highly_amused:
 
I agree with Archie that there is some value to be found before the Irish festivals, but can see the logic in keeping them back afterwards

Obviously I agree in principle... personally though I tend to ignore large parts of the end of season Irish form, especially in previous years when it's a scatter gun approach from Mullins/Elliott.
 
By and large, at this time of year you'd only want to be backing something that has a definite/very likely target next season and which is likely to be considerably shorter by the end of October.

Couldn’t find the bookmaker/offers thread so thought I’d throw this in here, betway, who aren’t exactly renowned for creative offers, had a bet £50 on tonights City/Utd game and get £100 free bet.
Too late now for anyone to take advantage but it marks a shift in their marketing so maybe expect a few more of these.
At this stage it’s all Altior/Paisley park doubles of course...

Make the most of it from them while you can, I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who has had a Betway account restricted, last year I got about 400 quid worth of free bets from them in the space of 4 or 5 months just mainly £5 and £10 free bets used them all on ante post and then got the dreaded email from them, kind of had the last laugh tho when I had used some free bets on topofthegame at 16/1 and defi du seuil 12/1

I’m old enough and cynical enough to know that every account will be restricted in the end, but at current levels I’ll nick 3k/4k in free bets and if I don’t have a half decent return from those free bets I shouldn’t be punting.
Betfair and the likes of Star Sports are the future, until that day comes these offers should be taken...

*nod nod*

Don't actually take advantage of the Betway one at the moment.... will certainly start though, as Sky are on to me.
