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:
| Betfair | Bookmaker | Total | |
| Draw | -£45.79 | £62.50 | £16.71 |
| Poland/Croatia win | £16.73 | Free bet | £16.73 |
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.
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.

The last couple of days I have been busy betting 5 x £10 to qualify for a free £50 bet which should be credited to my account in the next couple of days. Frustrated at clocking up small losses each day I thought I’d signup for another betting account that would let me earn a free £25 bet simply by staking the equivalent amount once. So I registered, backed Spain for the win and lay against their win at Betfair. The possible outcomes were:
| Betfair | Bookmaker | Total | |
| Spain win | -£16.58 | £16.25 | -£0.33 |
| Draw/Sweden win | £24.22 | -£25 | -£0.78 |
£0.33
My 5th and final qualifying bet was staked tonight on a draw in the big match between Holland and France. Once this bet has settled I should be credited with my £50 free bet in the next 2 days.
£0.64
I placed my 3rd and 4th qualifying bets today, continuing on from yesterdays two qualifying bets, for the bookmakers offer of a free £50 bet if I place 5 bets of over £10 in the next 30 days.
