Phree money... I hope. In the worst case I'll lose about a fiver. Seeing as I'm making about £45 tonight anyway I'll take the chance. Doing nothing tonight anyway

Surely the worst case is you win £0 from your £100? Or am I spectacularly missing the point.

Thats what i thought, there's no guarantee the 50 spibs will drop anything

Ladbrokes gave me 5 free spins on the frankie dettori game, first spin i rolled in another 35 free spins, won a total of less than 6 quid from 40 full spins

Hi guys, have a problem and wondering if anyone can help me. Just did the bet 365 £200 stake for £200 free bet. I won with the stake and now have £600 cash and £200 free in my account. I tried to withdraw the six but it warned my i would lose the bonus. Not quite sure what to do. Do I just keep betting the £600 until the lay wins and then use my free bet ? Any advice would be appreciated.

So did my wager £100 to get 50 free spins offer. I went over by 40p!!

Anyway here was my Hills balance before I started and wagered £100

I had a few bonus rounds and won a few quid. Feeling confident I upped my stakes from 20p a spin to £1 a spin

I got the bonus section and got another 10 free spins on that right away so I had 19 free spins and god it was worth it. Keeping track of the maths was hard though but as I was out by about 40p I am not to fussed. Here is my balance at the end

Mind I still have 50 free spins to be credited. But even if they didn't win a single thing, my profit was £140.20. Bear in mind there may have been a small loss. But this is about average value on the slot offers. If it is on the site the value is in the players favour, I got lucky here. As a matter of fact I have been quite spawny with the casino offers. I made decent cash on the Betfair Macau offer a while back too. You will take a loss here and there with the casino offers. But bear in mind the freebet and signup offers will offset any loss on them.

You only have to wager £100. Unless you hit a spectacular run of bad luck, you'll recoup at least 80% of it through wagering. And if you're lucks in,like his was, you'll win.

Slots for free spins is gambling of course, but it's weighed up with risk vs reward before its put on the site as an offer. A lot of folk don't understand this and believe you have to run your balance to zero before being credited with a bonus. Which is not the case. Me? I tend to pick and choose which of these offers to do very carefully indeed.

Bet 365 don't award free bets, they award bonus funds. As a result, you'll have to wager it (in portions, don't make it obvious) until you either meet wagering reqs (which will be in your bonus section of your account details) or lose it to your exchange.

I'd recommend the latter but losing a bet is easier said than done when you really want to.

I think you'll have to bet 3 times the bonus, ie. £600 before withdrawing. Don't think there are any odds limits so you could bung it all on a 1/25 bet and stick it back in the bank. Read the terms and conditions though, I could be wrong.

Exactly. You could probably wager at most on this £30. Add the 50 free spins and the worst case scenario would be about a £10 loss overall. You could do that 9 times but the 10th you would win big. It is not about luck its about average value.

I had an interesting situation last night that I thought people should be aware of. I took up the Dafabet sign-up offer of a maximum £30 free bet for a £30 initial bet. I placed this on Brentford and laid it on Smarket for a small loss of 81p. Brentford lost and so I won on the exchange. Happy days. However shortly after I received an e-mail from them stating that under clause 25 of their t&c's I would no longer be given any form of free bet, ever.

Obviously I looked up clause 25 which basically stated they could do as they please without any justification or need to reconsider. A quick look on the PA forum shows a few others with similar fate.

Pretty disappointed as you could imagine so fired off an email stating that I could no accept their decision without reasonable justification and that "as a relatively new player to online gambling" [snigger] I was deeply disappointed by their decision, asked them to reconsider or close my account with immediate effect! accused them of having no intention of honouring their promotion and threatened a formal complaint to the gambling commission. All empty threats of course.

However this morning I had an email stating their decision had been reversed and bonus credited to my account. Which has been duly placed/laid on Man Utd tomorrow for a £20odd profit :)

Worth baring in mind for anyone going ahead with Dafabet offers.

£500-odd profit since Boxing Day.

Yeah I read about that too. Dodgy fuckers. If we can't steal an honest pound there, we'll take our business elsewhere!

Got my hills 10 free bet for tomorrow. I intend to do a horse refund too on another bookie. I've hit hills hard recently. But I'm doing 3 mugs to every offer so I hope to be ok.
