Can anyone explain this bonus offer with Bet365? I opened up a new account and deposited £20. My account balance was £40 which is what I expected, I thought the offer was that they doubled your stake money. I placed one bet of £20, then attempted to make another bet of £20 and it wouldn't let me. I appear to have £20 left in my account but I cant use it to place a bet.

If its a 100% bonus offer on your first stake (which I presume it would be) all sounds correct. When you try to place a bet on your slip is there the option of clicking "use free bet" or something along those lines?

Another reason I've thought of has your first bet been settled? Some bookies don't allow you to use your bonus until your qualifying bet has been settled.

I've looked at the terms and conditions of the bonus and this is something you may want to take into account


To bet with your bonus, play through the amount of your qualifying deposit once on the sports and markets of your choice. You will need to rollover your deposit and bonus 3 times prior to making a withdrawal.

Apologies.
Found some hidden T&Cs. I have to play throught the value of my deposit once to use the bonus and 3 times to be able to withdraw it.

You got there before me. Ha.

Yeah I've posted that just before you replied. I should imagine once your first 20 is settled you have activated your bonus.

However then you'll have to spend 60 from your bonus bets in order to retrieve a payout. That's how they get you and make it difficult for you to win. Also check the terms about odds out as they won't accept odds under a certain amount so be careful.

Best of luck to you I hope you are able to withdraw a nice profit.

Are these the usual sort of terms you get with join up bonuses? I should have known better tbh. Always careful, I wont be going out my way to make stupid bets.

The offers seem to change regularly to try to entice new customers and so do the t & c's although it does seem bookies are getting a lot tighter. I suggest, like I have to several people on here, that you sign up for the bonus bagging service. Your guaranteed profits and I made a lot of money off it and I never once risked my own money.

If you were to sign up to it mike who runs the service could also help you make a guaranteed profit from the bet 365 bonus offer you have in your account.

having Colin Larkin to score the 4th goal tonight didn't work out, damn it!

[Heavy_Soul]

I've backed jessica ennis to win sports personality of the year tonight. Anyone else having a punt?

I was looking for a reverse forecast of Ennis / wiggins too but I could only find straight forecasts and I couldn't make my mind up on which way to go so left it out in the end.

[Spire1986]

I've managed to get the account up to £180 off the £20 + £20 free bets. Withdrawn £130 leaving me £50 to play with. Gonna play with that then go to the next bookie with free bets. Found the trick to be dont get carried away. Been putting £25-£30 on no more goals in the 83rd odd minute. Usually makes me a tenner per bet. Seems to be working.

Had a few good betting offers come through lately on the football betting sites, is there any chance we could have something pinned at the top off the message board to share these amongst the betters off us ?

Good idea. I think paddy power are doing one this weekend where if the favourite team loses in a match you get your stake refunded as a free bet. Not sure of the terms and conditions of the free bet but there's probably a minimum odds rule attached to it. Still a decent offer.

Funny you should pick that because that's the very one that gave me the idea

I'm just waiting for them to give me my stake back from my losing accumulator at the weekend (had to wait for the last game to finish which was tonights) still it's my stake back and it's another shot at winning something. They are doing some top offers at e moment.

[shaun1866]

I have about 6 accounts and wondered why the others where not competing with the offers (note to self - turn on notifications on the others)

Would the bookies take bets on both CFC's going unbeaten all season?

Ill take a bet off you for that, 100/1 sound ok?

How much you thinking??

[Trigger]

Town now favourites (5/1) to win the league, for all interested (on bet365)

I wasn't born yesterday. I was merely enquiring out of interest if they did novelty bets like that. That's all.

[cfcblues]

You'd get one if you went into shop & they rang through, certainly on Chelsea but not sure about town. In all likelihood it would be singles only on a market like that

[Trigger]

Just stick a pound on town win/draw (double chance) then with what you win, roll it over on to the next game and so on....

Celtic 2 down 10 mins to go against a team we look like we would beat. Celtic currently 5/4 to qualify. That's an invite to print money
