Betting Tips

With access to so many free bet offers on Free Bet No Deposit, you’ll want to make the most of them. Here is list of betting tips to get you started, which have all been designed to give you the best chance of placing a successful bet and turning your free bet into a profitable one.

1) Understand the odds

Some people get confused with the betting system, but understanding the odds is not hard to grasp. Betting odds are essentially the amount you bet alongside the amount you can win. For instance, a horse at 3-1, will earn you three pound for every pound bet (plus the return of your initial stake). Sometimes, if a horse or team is highly favoured to win, the bet will be known as "odds-on", such as 1-3. In other words for every three pounds you bet you will win one pound, plus you initial stake money.

2) Each way bets

An each way bet is essentially two bets. The first is a straight win bet, while the second is to bet your team or horse will get a “place”. Placed is when the subject of your bet comes second, third, or in some cases fourth (depending on the number of runners). You don't get the same odds on a placed bet, which are normally a quarter of the odds of a straight win, but an each way bet gives you a better chance of winning.

3) Only bet what you can afford

Never bet more money than you can afford to lose. Betting is about having fun, so always set a certain amount of money aside for your bets, and never try to recover losses by betting more than this amount, otherwise you could end up in financial difficulties.

4) Hedging your bets

To take advantage of a free bet offer that requires you to place your own bet first, you can always hedge your bet so you can get your free bet without risking any of your own money. Hedging your bets is simply the process of betting a horse or team to both win and lose. You may have to use two different online bookmakers, one to place a winning bet and one to lay the bet off (bet the team or horse to lose). Of course, this means you won’t win any money, but you won’t lose any either, and since you will have placed a bet with your own money, you’ll qualify for the free bet offer.

5) Do your research

Researching your chosen sport is the surest way of placing a successful bet. While betting does require some element of luck, if you know your subject, you can maximise your chances of being successful.
