Cheltenham Festival

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I’ve had a number of little offers this year but nothing big. Still every little helps: a £10 free bet from Paddy Power, £9 from Bet Fred. 10 free spins at Canbet’s casino generating £8. A 10% bonus from Ladbrokes on a horsey bet

Good arbs also on the UEFA Cup Sporting Lisbon pretty much everywhere.

I’ve Been Limited by Bet365

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Boo Hoo! Dismal news, Bet365 have limited my a/c so that the most I can win on any bet is £40. I still qualify for all the offers but with the reduced limits it won’t be nearly so profitable. I don’t know why, but perhaps I had been overdoing the French football score score bets for their “no-score-bore” offer.

They often have the best odds for French football matches and recently had  one £100, and two £50 correct score bets which all finished 0-0 thus getting a rebate of £200.

However, no businesses want customers who cost them money so it had to come sooner or later.

Bet24 Bounty Freeroll

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I had an excellent run in last night’s bounty “Meet and Greet” freeroll at Bet24 knocking out 3 bounties and finishing in First Place to collect $150 prize money plus £79.78 for eliminating the Bet24 players (presumably converted from $ and added manually to to sports book a/c early this morning).

This tournament runs on the first Thursday of each month and will definitely be on my schedule from now on.

I am fairly new to Bet24 and don’t know much about them except that they sponsor Blackburn Rovers so presumably are a reputable company. I signed up to them last month to play in the Feb freeroll but went out early. 

There were 1392 players (most of whom didn’t show up) and prize money for the top three places.  About 10 bounty players are called Bet24-something each with between $30-$70 on their heads. So, you have to cross your fingers and hope you end up on a table with a bounty and then target them. Anyway, my first win of the year and third final table for 2008.
