Sign up to Bet365, place a bet from £5-£50 and you will get a free in-play bet of the same amount. If your free in-play bet loses, you will get it refunded. Free money.

I've put £25 on Barca, and I'll put my free £25 bet on Celtic/draw when the game starts. If Barca win, I'll get about £8 back or something small, but if the other wins, I'll make about £40.

Edit: You can do it if you already have an account.[/QUOTE]

I was going to do that yesterday but read the T&C.

"any evidence of a series of bets placed by a customer or group of customers, which due to a deposit bonus, enhanced payments, free bets or any other promotional offer [B]results in guaranteed customer profits[/B] irrespective of the outcome, whether individually or as part of a group, bet365 reserves the right to reclaim the bonus element of such offers and in their absolute discretion either settle bets at the correct odds, void the free bets or void any bet funded by the deposit bonus."

They will probably void any winnings or refuse to refund your In-Play stake.

I saw that, but a few people claimed they did the same with Real last night and were able to claim their winnings. Hopefully I can do the same!

Some more of mine for the night...

Because they drew 2-2. If Real had won, I doubt they would refund the In-Play stake.

Exactly. Their bet was guaranteed (either Real win, or Dortmund win/draw). Whatever the outcome of the match, they still won, which is against Bet365 rules.

Either I'm being thick or I can't explain it. The 'offer' didn't come into play as the in-play had won.

If Real had won, then the offer would have came into play as people were abusing the refundable stake.

Anyway, good luck as Celtic are winning anyway. :)
 
Phew, had a couple hundred on Chelsea and United. 2 late goals and i'm potentially doing brilliantly for the night.

Shocking thing is Barca are the team to mess up my accumulator. Very rare does that happen!

Looool, not sure what "betting patterns" they are on about as I've only placed two bets in the past couple of weeks and I haven't been directly hedging or anything like that. Highest level eh, Mr Stan James himself took one look and said "Close this guy's account, he isn't losing all his money and that's not in the spirit of gambling!"
 
Only thing I can think is I stuck £465 on Anzhi vs Liverpool to be a draw at halftime which was kinda hedging a pregame bet on Anzhi to win with another bookie but I don't see why the bet it itself would be that suspicious as the score was only 1-0 and they were offering decent odds on the draw (5.5). I've bet higher stakes in the past without any problems. I then followed it up with another in-play bet on Young Boys to beat Udinese which could hardly be described as dodgy as they were 2-1 up at the time (1.67).

I just started out. I have a german game at the bottom lig 2 as well. I will cover all leagues all over the world. But plan to just pick out a few games I think I can predict well each day. I wasnt feeling 100% about any the german games 2moro nor the championship game. Not as confident as the games I chose and i cant pick out every game,

Problem is weekends..to many games to chose.

But as u ask..Boro to win 1-0 or 2-0 id say???

Mainz to win 1-0,2-0 or maybe even 3-0?

Most likely koln, Hertha and Eintracht Braunschweig to win 2nd liga games

How strange, SJ are usually one of the better ones for this sort of thing. Did you use your account frequently? If not, jumping straight in and placing quite large bets like the Anzhi one would probably be flagged up to them.

A few years ago, I found a flaw on their mobile app (I only had a crappy old nokia) in that there was no time delay applied to in-running bets. I was at the Ashes 3rd test at Edgbaston and did a little £20 test bet on the next man out market, of course Sky pictures are delayed by a good 6-7 seconds compared to being there and with no delay on my phone I could get the bet on before it'd happened on the TV. Once I got home, we had a bog-standard analogue radio that was way ahead of the TV too. I'd got to the point of betting £120 at 5/6 on the next man out to win £100 each time. It almost backfired once when I had £70 on Arsenal to score the next goal at 10/3 because on the radio they'd claimed they'd scored so I quickly placed the bet and they hadn't. Pepe Reina dropped the ball in the net in the 91st minute to save me :p

Even after doing that they didn't limit my account or even close it!

There are some bizarre games in running on bet365 lately - my favourite was Jordan Women Under 16 v Palestine Women Under 16. Home side were 1/200, finished 9-0 :p
