Won £260 today Switzerland vs Spain but not seen the £20 stake back. Is that correct?

Have it!

Does anyone know what time the offer ticks over? Says today's free bets are gone already...

I tried today at 7.15 and 7.30 so if the deals still on I'd also really appreciate knowing when it changes.

Alas I am at work till 5 now and I can't access any gambling sites

Hi all.

New to the forum but I wanted something explained to me if possible. Why doesn't the 'stake' get refunded ? I put my £20 on Uraguay to win last night at 11/8. My win has totalled £47.50 but I haven't been given my stake money back which would have made it £67.50. So in reality it's lucky I went for a bet with good odds.

If for example i'd have placed my bet on England to beat Algeria at 2/9 then I would have winnings of £4.44. So if I don't get my stake money back then i'm at a loss of £15.56.

Maybe this is how the company are making their money back. Has anybody else made a 'safe/odds on' bet and if so do they find themselves out of pocket ?

Not advocating gambling ...

however check out http://www.bigfreebet.com/freebets.php

It gives you a handy list of sites that are offering similar offers....

I am just in the process of getting my losing £20 bet back.. once done.. I will then go to another one of these sites and do the same thing..

I'm not a gambler but when it doesnt cost you anything.. hey i'm game!

OH AND SELECT THE ONES THAT STATED "NO RISK BET"

Hmm, I would be interested to see how they would treat a multiple match bet slip... for example I have signed up and bet on 9 matches using Trebles, if you do not know what this is, it is betting on every combination of 3 results (ie, I need at least 3 teams to win to win anything, the more teams that then win, the more combinations come in and the more I win..). Using this bet, I can win a maximum of something like £75, however if only 3 out of the 9 teams win I will only win something like £1... does this count as a win?? And therefore I cannot claim my £20 back? This would seem unfair that a £20 cost bet is classed as winning when you lose £19.... any thoughts??

If you have no idea what trebles are or have no idea on which teams are going to beat who then you might find the blog http://clinicalfootballtips.com/ useful, I have been following this world cup and found it rather useful!

Doesnt the no lose bet have to be a single?

I'm not too sure, the T&Cs says,

"this bet must be placed individually on a bet slip."

So it depends what a bet means... I thought this just meant any one bet, be it 1 team, or a mix of them... ah well, will see what happens! Will hopefully win anway (however Spain managed to screw up a big chunk of it for me! I pretty much need Germany to do me a favour and win there next 2 games, and England to win on Friday, hmm not to sure about that last one... )

You HAVE got your stake back: 11/8 produces winnings of 27.50 ((20*11)/8) and your stake back of 20.

I don't think that will count. The whole £20 has to go on a single bet, which can be an accumulator, as long as you enter £20 into the stake box and not something like 3 x 6.66.

I did an accumulator which lost last night due to switz. I had 5 games + 2 group winner selections.

The banner is there but it's saying they've reached the cap for freebets today. Looks to me like they have pulled the promo now.
