Free £10 bet with Betfair.com

I received an email from Betfair on Friday offering me a free £10 bet if I staked £10 or more this weekend. I decided to stake £10 of my own money against Man Utd winning the league as another one of my so called insurance bets where I bet against my team so that if they lose I make money!

24 hours after placing this first bet Betfair topped up my account with another £10 as promised for me to bet on a market of my choice. I opted to top up my bet against Man Utd so that I now have a £20 bet which will win me £21.94 if they fail to win the league and I have only staked £10 of my own money. Of course they could win the league and I will have lost £10, but I doubt I will care about £10 at that point!
