Normally with these things they have a £5 max stake.
Yeah, whenever i've done similar in the past it's been a maximum of a fiver, but then i think it'll be an easy £20 quid.

Although, knowing my luck, all my betting on Spurs to score at any time will do is ensure a 0-0 draw

#edit

why do all bookmakers talk in bookmaker-ese ?. i'm on live chat with marathonbet and just asking them to clarify the terms of what i can bet and what i'll win and he seems incapable of just saying "ok, if you bet X, you'll get Y and then Z" and seems to want to hit me with paragraphs of T's & C's ... ggrrrrrrrr ...

Ok, found out the finer points and it *might* be worth doing.

Stick a tenner on "Tottenham to score" and they'll pay out at £5 on odds of 3/25, which will net you £5.60 in actual cash.

You'll then get £24.40 in free bets within 48 hours with no additional wagering requirements - i assume through the 'enhanced odds'.

Great news for me two goals for Harry Kane takes him clear in top scorer chart.

Possibly 300 quid for me at the end of the season
This should be on now that Vardy is looking likely to get a 2 match ban, especially if he bangs in a couple tonight against Stoke!

Good job I did the marathonbet offer

Made a massive £1.25 on the initial bet but the free bets should arrive tomorrow so can probably bump the profit up a good amount.

That's good to know, cheers. If it is going to be £24 odd quid to play with then I might go for a few safe ones just to make sure I can finish at least £20 quid up.

If you're doing it under the terms of the "Risk Free" offer and you did £100 pre-match on the double chance and £50 in-play on the draw, then it's £175 currently for the draw, which would be £25 quid profit and £130 for either City of Madrid winning, plus the £50 in-play refund, so it's a £30 profit.

But then they haven't advertised it yet as the risk free option so I suspect they're not going to do it and maybe save the next risk free for the Champions League final.
.
OK, sorry, you do guarantee profit, I tend to try and go for the bigger potential profit though.

I didn't think they normally advertised it until a couple of days before, I'd expect to see it appear on the app on Saturday/Sunday probably.

I try not to deal in "potential"

Just got my free bet from Marathon Bet and it's £24.38 which is nice, so will have to try and find some bankers to see if i can turn a respectable profit.

#edit

rather annoyingly, you have to place the entire balance on a single to win. there's no breaking it up to try a few variations, so it's pretty much all or nothing.

Might have to be City to win tonight then ..

Arrgh, of course the stake isn't returned, so it's a teeny, tiny profit to be had if i go for a banker .. ah well. A couple of quid it is.

I'd rather have the opportunity to gain profit or either £75 or £15 than £20 or £30. That's why I do the both teams to score in the first half, if it doesn't win then you get around £6-£10 profit but when it does win you get a good amount (the least I've had is £116 profit and the most £225). It's still impossible to lose but you're maximising the potential profit.

If i've got the money the next time the offer rolls around, i may well give it a go.

I think it's worth it. I don't really bet much, I just do a few £1 accas at the weekends but when they do these offers I stick £100 in my account and do it (after all, you can't lose).

I may have been really lucky with the both teams to score thing (in fact, I have as three of them left it very late and the PSG goal against City was pretty lucky!) but from just those 4 wins I've got £640 profit. The next few probably won't come off though!

I should really stop doing this lark . Saw that Cambridge were 5-0 up at half time and thought that on that form, they'd easily be good for another couple so stuck £20 quid on +6.5 goals.

They obliged with number 6 on 59 minutes and when it was still 6-0 when they announced 2 minutes injury time i'd resigned myself to having shitty luck and my horrible losing streak continuing.

Then they were awarded a penalty at 91 minutes, 55 seconds .. which they scored

Decent night for me had a fiver on aguero for first goal which gives me a free fiver on tonorrows premier league games for first goal scorer.

Main coupon had Newcastle +1, Barnsley and Millwall waiting on Liverpool for tomorrow

Actually thought I'd lost as Roma were losing with 5 minutes to go. Thanks to Totti I won £229.86 from a £5 bet!

ok, not football betting but I know how everyone likes free money! Been having a search around for new deals and come across a couple of casino freebies that might be of some use.

Paddypower casino app are giving away £10 completely free for trying out their new app =>http://casino.paddypower.com/#

And Mr Green casino are giving away 20 free spins on their new slot, Jimi Hendrix.
https://www.mrgreen.com/en/aff/20-free-spins-jimi-hendrix

Had a go on the Mr Green slot but didn't win anything. It's ok for a but of fun and maybe you might have better luck then me!
