Free Bets
Welcome to our horse racing betting free bets section where we give you a rundown of some of the Free Bet offers during The Cheltenham Festival.
When punting at the Cheltenham Festival you have the opportunity to use the bookies money to get yourself a good start to the week and a great strategy is to open an account with bookmakers who are making an uncomplicated free bet offer.
If you open an account with 5 or 6 bookmakers then you can use your initial deposit to have a bet on each race on the first day (Tuesday) of the festival and then use your free bets to have a free days punting for one of the other days.
Sometimes the terms and conditions offered by bookmakers are quite daunting but we have unravelled that for you by selecting what we think are the top 5 free bet opportunities for The 2010 Cheltenham Festival.
William Hill are offering a 25 GBP Will Hill free bet for opening an account and as soon as your first bet is settled they will give you a free bet up to twenty five pounds, very simple and very easy.
Betfred are offering a 50 GBP Betfred free bet for starting a new account online with them (they match your first deposit up to fifty pounds) and this is also a great offer. I would just make you aware that If you set up an account with Betfred then the free bet will appear in your account 48 hours after your first settled bet. So to
get the best from Betfred you should open an account and place your first bet on the Tuesday of the festival. This means your free bet will be in your account to use on the Friday.
Paddy Power are of course huge in Ireland and they also have a 25 GBP Paddy Power free bet offer
and they also offer some great bonuses during Cheltenham Festival week including Fallers Insurance
. This main free bet offer works similar to the Will Hill offer in that you get your free bet as soon as your first bet is settled.
Coral are one of the oldest bookmakers and are offering a 10 GBP – 20 GBP Coral free bet offer for new customers. They also have some other good offers including a 10% cashback which can’t be bad. They also have a 1000 GBP Free Bet competition taking place during the Cheltenham Festival
for new accounts and this is very interesting.
Extrabet are offering one of the more clever incentives and if you open an account they will match your first deposit up to 20 GBP……but the Extrabet free bet will actually place your free bet on your very first selection. So if you have a banker at the festival, you place 20 GBP and Extrabet will automatically match that and make your bet a 40 GBP bet. I have not seen this done before but it means you get your free bet bonus immediately…….very cool.
So that’ s a rundown and as i said don’t forget the strategy i mentioned above.
If you need help with any of this then leave a comment on the blog and i’ll reply personally. You can also check out our “Free Bet Video Tutorial” where i run through some of the good and bad free bet offers.
