1 Your essential guide to the bookies best offers In this special report from Matt Nesbitt at Football Betting Data: The truth about the bookies free bet offers The best new account offers on the market Get more from your bets with these Money Back Specials The truth about the bookies free bet offers The majority of bookies will try and lure you in with their so called free bet offers. Don t be fooled, they are not giving you free money to bet with. Each bookie usually has a whole page dedicated to terms and conditions that you need to follow in order for you to earn your free bet. Having trawled through the bookies sites it seems that their most popular approach at the moment is to give you your money back if your first bet loses in the form of a free bet. Most of the time your first bet needs to be placed at odds of Evens (2.00) or more. If your first bet loses they will credit your account with a free bet matching the amount you staked on your first bet. The limit is usually 25 but that can vary from bookie to bookie. Now here s the trick, you won t be able to withdraw that free bet money they credited your account with, you will have to place that money on another bet. Wealth Warning: Always read the bookies terms and conditions when it comes to their free bet offers. The best new account offers on the market As you ll see from the list below pretty much every bookie has a different offer going for new accounts. But most of them give you the chance to have another go to some extent or another if your first bet loses. While this isn t as good as getting your money back with no strings attached, it still gives you the chance to place a risk free bet when you open a new account. 1

2 Plus - it s so easy to open a bookie account online these days (just a few details to fill in and a password and username to choose) that there s no harm at all in taking advantage of several of these offers. In fact, the more accounts you have, the more options you have when it comes to finding the best odds on your future bets. You don t have to use all the accounts if you don t want to! I ve looked at all the major UK bookies below and a few big names from Europe and beyond. And a special mention goes to the little-known Bet Clic who I ve included on the list due to their exceptional welcome offer for new accounts...
