Bookmakers offers and free bets from bookies
Online Bookmakers are like any other business - They have to spend money on marketing and advertising to get your business (as well as being competitive with their odds - some are better at this than others!), so quite often you’ll find that the bookies have special offers or promotions to get you to bet with them rather than one of their rivals.
Of course, one of the most popular and well known of these is the Free Bet Offer. The last time we looked, you could get over £750 of free bets from the various UK bookies, although of course this varies as bookies offers change.
The other promotions you might see are “no-lose” bets, such as refunds on losing correct score bets if a match finishes 0-0, or extra places on each-way bets. Keep an eye out on this page, or to ensure you don’t miss out on any free bet offers, make sure you subscribe to Bookies Offers updates
Paddypower Money Back Special - York 2:10
May 16, 2008
Update:
How did you do? Let us know in the comments section, but the results for this race were:
- Luberon 6/1
- Pevensey 20/1
- Sugar Ray 3/1
Which means that the Money Back Special offered by PaddyPower (below) would not have been any help to you. Though hopefully at least some of you fancied an each way punt on Pevensey at 20/1, and didn’t stick to the favourite winning. Look out for more Money Back Specials and other bookies offers.
Paddypower are offering a money back special on todays racing at York. More specifically the 2:10 Reland Jorvik Heritage Handicap, at York.
If your selection finishes second to Sugar Ray (the current favourite), in this race, PaddyPower will refund your losing single stake. This money back special from PaddyPower is available on Single bets only and applies to win only and win part of each way bets.
Place your bet for this race with PaddyPower on a Win or Each Way basis only. The maximum refund possible on this bet is €300/£200 per customer.
If you want to take advantage of the PaddyPower Money Back Special, then choose odds on a horse in the PaddyPower column.
Using Money Back Specials is a good way of hedging your bets, so you don’t always lose out if your selection doesn’t come in for you. With this Paddypower money back special, you do not have to back the favourite, you can choose another horse, with maybe better odds, one that you think has the potential to either win or come second. So that if it comes first, you win, but if it comes second, you won’t have lost your money, you can use it to fund another bet. If you horse comes in third or worse though you will not win anything, unless you bet each way, though the return will only be the win element of the each way bet.

Grand National Free Bets
April 1, 2008
I was amazed to receive an email from skybet, to inform us that they were suspending their free bet offer for the Grand National on Saturday. This amazed us that a top bookmaker would withdraw their incentive to get new customers just in time for the biggest horse race in the country, where there are more bets placed than any other race, most of which by the ordinary person (who doesn’t usually place a bet).
The increase in the number of bets placed for the Grand National is sparked by the huge amount of publicity the race enjoys, and the fervor that the general public picks up during the lead up to the Aintree Grand National. In fact there’s hardly an office which doesn’t run some form of sweepstake such as the Free National Sweepstake you can download.
