Betfair - Possible Free Bet

Hi all,

Betfair have on there website that if you stake a bet of up to £25 they will refund you if your bet loses.

I can remember during the world cup that 888sport did a £20 bet which if you lost you got back, and you could then transfer the money back into your bank account so effectively you got a free £20 bet.

Is this the same?

    Can't see anything on their website about refunding losses, other than for their Arcade game.

    Betfair have never offered anything such as the 888sport that I know of.

  • yes, but you can also get an extra £25 from betfair (making £50 including your own deposit) if you have a mate who is already a member.
    what you do is lose you inital £25 bet to your mate (who then withdraws it and gives it back to you).
    Betfair will then give you £25 as your fist bet lost.
    total of £50 from £25
    find a deal....pass it on :beer:

    It would be far simpler and far more profitable to take a look in the gambling and introductory offer loophole thread in this very forum.

    If you only make £25 from signing up to betfair you should be shot!

    Far simpler ways to make far more money from them than this.
