Has anyone looked at this, I was going to place a full £200 on a season bet but my reading of the offer is that this initial stake has to be played 3 times over, as well as any winnings.
Has anyone else seen this.
Can live with free bet being played through 3 times, but not initial deposit.

Any thoughts?

I posted details of a complaint that was upheld about Bet£3.65 last year by the ASA for running this promotion without making all of the terms and conditions clear.

Agree with Lux, google "Donglemouse matched betting" and read through the thread on money saving expert. The guy has made £50k+ ripping the bookies off.

50bridge you will soon cycle the deposit and bonus over if you play the horses and you might even get a few free bets along the way via their 4/1+ winner offer

having a 365 account can be very worthwhile if you are lucky enough to not be restricted too quickly

can be very difficult to get through the initial process to collect the free bets - better to open a telephone account to begin with, rather than an online account where their software picks up the accounts that they will restrict very quickly. You can always switch to an online account later after first collecting the free bets.

Thanks lads.
Forgot about their 4/1 or better offer.
I did used to have an online account with them but do not use accounts now.
This one is an agreement with my mate, I put up the £200 which I want on Batern for Bundersleague. We are going to play through the bonus and go 50-50 with whatever we can get out with after playing through 3 times.
Got 90 days and have agreed that we will exercise all due caution.
Minimum odds for bet is 1/2, will be glad to break even and take a ton each.
Got 90 days to do it.
To give 365 their due, bonus was released the minute Bayern bet was placed.

I laughed when I read that ad (I think I saw it in the Metro last week). 

When I read the conditions, I realized I had left my slide-ruler in a classroom in 1981 so wouldn't be able to figure it out.Laugh

just warning people about considering taking up the offer of bet 365 $200 free bet. you have to have a total of 1200 euro worth of bets until you can withdraw which i have no problem with.
however after some recent success with my account and having worked my way through 500 euro worth of bets they rang me up this morning placing restrictions on my account for at least a month and possibly permantly. for instance when i went to have a bet this morning the maximum bet i could have was 36 euro.
i advise people to steer clear of there offer as with these restrictions in place it will make it very difficult to clear the bonus.

dododododo what kind of bets were you successful with?  Might be worth letting others know what to stick clear of.
Report 50Bridge June 21, 2011 10:32 PM BST
Dodododo, would appreciate any pointers here.
We were going to wait for second week Wimbledon to get involved, were also going to try Copa America using Draw No Bet Market where it was over 1.5.
Would be pissed if this was flagged as irregular pattern.

Will post any news when we begin the chase.

Thanks again.

Ideally you should lay back the initial qualifying £200 bet on here effectively giving you a risk free £200 to arb back for a profit regardless of outcome.

If your bets win you should try and get the wagering requirement out of the way asap , this time lumping on a similarly priced shortie just before the off (thats already been hammered) , laying back on here .

Obviously this strategy requires an adequate betfair bank :)

We got back into profit thanks to Rafa Murray match, seems that you can withdraw money piece meal so we have pulled some profit out.
Would seem to be a good number if you are considering a long term £200 bet and have someone you can trust to open account, assuming you already have one and can not tak eadvantage personally.
It is good for boredom bets like Klitchko tonight,just have a bit of fun and bet will qualify at price.

Have cleared the required sum using 10% and 20% staking only.
Ended up with 225 which we are obviously happy with.
Given that we approached this in partnership automatic restraint was in place so we avoided bore betting keeping to Super League, US Open, and football.
Mistake in previous post, can not withdraw piecemeal, that was a refund of sorts from a proper bet.

We intend to open a new account in mates mum's name for another £200.
Does anyone know best way to avoid 365 being aware of the fact it is us doing it.
Different computers?

I assume all companies place cookies or whatever in machines which can be traced.
