sorted byCoral have a similar free £1.
Heat added. I know I can really do some damage with only a free £1.
I've cashed out a fare amount this last couple of months, but I've left a war chest for Cheltenham. These free bets are great though as each one saves me from using cash.
So far I've seen..
Livescore Bet has 4 x free £2 bets
Paddy Power has 3 x free bets (£TBC)
Coral 1 x £1 free bet
BetFred 1 x £1 free bet
I believe somebody mentioned SkyBet, but I've been too much of a champion, and they're too worried about a free bet in my hands. (edited)
We're in the same boat. I do like a 10p or 20p bet. I don't think I've ever done a sports bet on Bet Fred.
I'm sure many will be blowing their bet on a 4-fold of outsiders in the hope of winning £100,000.
I'll just put mine on one outsider. I don't want to be greedy.
I imagine the competition winner will have to win £10,000 at the very minimum. I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of the final leg with £1,000 of winnings on the final 10/1 outsider. I'd want to cash out, so I'm betting on one horse.
