    If you put e.g. £10 e/w and you lose you'll get £10 as a free bet.  This is how it usually works iirc

    Max refund £25. Money Back as a free bet. First bet only. Place parts of each way bets are not refunded. Singles only. T&Cs apply.

    Anyone know when the refund/ free bet is credited back? I understand their is only 3 days to use it.
  • edited March 2016
    I think it said it'll be credited within 24hr.

    It was Min that let me down here

    They hope to credit the Free Bets within about half an hour, but be patient, there were an awful lot of them. :)

    I had £25 at 4/1 (to win) Altior. Nice few minutes work :)

    I had a free-bet on another runner too and (to answer the question about credits) my new free-bet was credited quickly and used again on the 2.50 (Holywell)

    Nice win! yeah mine was credited. I have no idea about horses so i've just stuck it on "Out Sam" in next Checltenham race. Now its time to jump up and down like a possessed monkey cheering on my horse!


    *I didnt even realise I put £20 this morning on un temps pour tout at 14/1 - turned out a better win than the free bet haha. This racing larks easy!

    I'm by no means a tipster. But I was awake at 5am this morning so I hit up all the tipster blogs, and racing post. Seems too have paid off as I had 2 winners in last race lol.

    I've gone for

    3.30  top notch e/w 16/1  Nicholas Canyon 13/2 e/w

    Apparently its a tough race to bet on though.

    Sun News Paper giving £1 free Cheltenham bet every day all week,  started yesterday.

    Anyone recommend sweaty horse to put it on.......... ?

    Why not try an accumulator?   

    762/1
                  
    Josie orders                                     
    More of that                                    
    Politogne
    Diego Du Charmeil


    That way you can potentially sweat multiple races.

    When down the Bookies and could only find Paddy Power .... the Sun bet was no good as its for Coral so had to put £5 on. !   Street cred .... well they were all looking at me.  Did the Accumulator and because three horses were Fav   put £5 ew on the outsider Politologue.  Thanks Weecheez but can't be asked to walk down there again.

    Blimey Betting Shops have changed since I last went in one, used to have man on chalk board, you put coins in the slot machnes not £50 notes.  That tell's you how old me is.    This could be my first and last venture into horse racing betting.   cheers lads

    I had a quick look to try and find out but couldn't seem to find anything to say yay or nay...

    Does anyone know if Sky do what seems to be the standard these days of guaranteeing to match the best odds?
  • edited March 2016
    I can confirm they do. Good luck

    As said above they now guarantee best price and they have a really good cheltenham offer of money back if your horse loses in the 1st race everyday at cheltenham.

    Hi Paul,

    Just go to Sky Bet />Horse Racing, & then there are 3 Sidebars, one of which is
    THIS

    It's "Best Odds Guaranteed",  commonly abbreviated to BOG
  • edited March 2016
    Well - if you have any sense none of you will back the same horse I do lol as I only go by the names and jockey colours :)

    Todays 1.30pm I've back Outlander - so I'm practically guaranteeing that he'll be a donkey.

    Good luck all
