Refer a friend bonus

The bookie that I signed up for last week offers a free £25 bet to any customers that refer a new customer. Whilst I haven’t convinced anyone to sign up I have however found an existing customer who agreed to give me £15 of the bonus if I said I was referred by him (apparently you have 30 days from signup to do this).

Basically money for nothing, so I gave him my email address to claim the referral and within 24 hours there was £15 in my Paypal account from someone that goes by the username of Munk. Only downside was Paypal took £1.25 in transaction fees reducing my earnings to £13.75, but seeing as this guy is a stranger that I met online I wasn’t about to give him my bank account details instead!

Cashing in £50 free bet

Tonight marked the finale of group C, better known throughout this tournament as the group of death.

Celebrate Royal Ascot week with a £5 matched bet

I received an email this morning from one of my existing accounts offering me a free £5 if I stake the same amount on any of the opening day races at Royal Ascot. So I backed Fleeting Spirit with my money and Tariq with the free bet, offset both of these bets with lay bets on Betfair and once both races had run (with neither of my selections winning) I was £3.55 up. Not bad for 5 minutes work!

Cashing in £25 free bet

I decided to use the £25 free bet that I earned on Saturday to back a draw between Poland and Croatia, with another offsetting lay bet with Betfair. The possible outcomes were:

Despite having already qualified Croatia beat Poland tonight. This meant I had turned my £25 free bet into £16.73 profit, or in other words I had converted 67% of the free bet into cash.

Free Chips (well almost)

Whilst I am still waiting for two free bets to be credited I decided to take a different approach today and take advantage of a promotion whereby I receive £10 worth of free chips to use in an online casino simply by staking £10 on each of today’s matches.
