It hasn't been zero for years.

If I don't deposit anything for a few days will Betfair give me some sort of special offer or bonus to encourage me?

No but you may disappear from the forum ..unfunded account..

Just out of interest, lay a few horses in running, keep bets of 0.49 at 0.01p and see what happens.

Actually, thinking about it, you won't be able to do this on the betfair site, but only through an app!

No good if you wait a month for a £20 free bet if it means you miss out on winning thousands in the meantime.

Actually, again, that might not work at all, as the bot will fire in a £2.00 bet, and then change it to £2.01, and cancel the £2.00 bet!

So the first bet will be rejected!!!

Anyway, probably best to not play games, as you may get castrated, and lose your Xmas hamper.....Wink

AP - I may have misunderstood your posts but there is a way of placing bets for pennies (without an app or a bot)
Report Aunty Post • January 27, 2017 3:01 PM GMT
Yes nick...I know that but you have to first place one for £2.00 before changing to £2.01 and cancelling the £2.00 bet.

You can't do it with less than £2.00 in your account!
Report Aunty Post • January 27, 2017 3:04 PM GMT
Actually again again, you would need £2.01 in your account

You don't need £2 if you are laying - just 2 or 3p
Report i_agree_with_nick • January 27, 2017 3:07 PM GMT
Actually, more than that but less than £2
Report Aunty Post • January 27, 2017 3:19 PM GMT
Actually again, again, again, you would need considerably more than £2.00 in your account,
as the liability is multiplied by the price at which you are laying!
Report Aunty Post • January 27, 2017 3:24 PM GMT
Yes nick but we are talking about betting with zero balance.

You could lay at 1.01 for £2.00, so your liability is £0.02, so you can't do it with a zero balance!

Anyway this is "Chit Chat" so we don't want to talk about such rubbish as betting! Laugh

Betfair used to pone me all the time giving me free tickets and bonuses when I didn't play the poker site but haven't had a call in ages (I play the poker site). Just curious do they still contact anyone?

Best you will enjoy from BF is 5 free spins on casino/arcade...one just before christmas and another just after.

Long old wait.... best recorded win on free spin was 88p in 2014

Be Lucky
