I bet £50 @ odds of 2.50 on Everton to win

I lay £50.20 @ odds of 2.54 on Everton to NOT win. This gives me a liability of £77.31.


No matter what happens, I will lose £2.31. But all is not lost, I can handle losing a couple of quid, because after the match has finished, I will have 2 x £50 free bets!

You might be able to guess what comes next, very similar, will make a small loss on each of the free bets, but because it wasn't my money anyway, I will be in profit. This will probably make me around £90.

I'll post up my next bet when I get to that stage.

If you haven't got it, it is worth taking the time to, it really is easy money.

Mate I can see where your coming from but first off the free bet you only take the winnings so, to make any decent money you will have to back something that could easily loose, so it's not as if with your £50 you can back a 1/25 shot and win £2.00 then take the £52.00, you only get the winnings.

Add to that Bet365 I know for a fact only let you cash your bonus after you have placed the bonus 5 times.


The best way to make so called free money is get a poker and casino Bots which is a software that plays so many hands or spine or whatever it is for you to qualify for the bonus, my mate has been doing this since feb 2009 and has been making on average 300 quid a month not huge amount but good decent money.


I always wary of free bonuses as like I say alot of them you have to read the small print as they make you stake the amount you get in the bonus at least 4/5 times meaning more likely to loose, quite weird I have come across this haha as only this morning I was looking at the best bonuses for bookmakers as I wanted to have some money on the tennis, I picked Betfred and Willhill as they match your £25 quid deposit and you only need to bet once and I won on Murray to beat Nadal!!!
