With bookmakers offering a plethora of free bets in the UK in order to tempt new customers, you can potentially pocket a great deal of cash with very little impact on your own bank account but how do you find the best offers and are they really free?
What are free bets? Free online bets are the bookmakers' primary method of attracting new customers. For major sporting events such as the World Cup, The Grand National, Wimbledon and the Formula One Grand Prix season these offers increase in generosity because they know that people who rarely think about visiting the bookies might fancy a punt.
How much do I get? Many headline-grabbing free betting deals are introduced in the run up to a major sports tournament, but you can often find the most generous freebies available after the tournament actually starts. Some free bets are relatively small in value but offer an excellent return on investment (such as 25 of free bets for every 5 bet placed) these are the ones to target if you're relatively new to betting or are an infrequent punter. If you're more of a high roller, look for higher freebies to match higher bets (such as a 50 to 50 ratio).
How do I find a good deal? An internet search on free bets will lead you not only to the latest offers but to a host of sites who do the hard work for you by categorising the best free bets available at any given time. Look for a site like getfreebets.co.uk to make your life simpler it will not only tell you where to find the freebies, it will offer betting advice and odds comparisons for new starters. When you've found some good deals, it's often best to begin with the smaller, straightforward offers and when you're comfortable you can start to really take advantage of the big ones.
How do I make money and is it really free'? In a word, yes. You'll need to open an online account with a bookmaker and deposit some money, and place a bet with this money. Then, whether you win or lose, you'll be able to claim your free bet and lay it on whatever event you like. Then you simply need to wait for the result. As long as you read the small print, there's little risk involved and you can get started right away. With so much sport on the box, there couldn't be a better time.
