Another ridiculous promotion from Betfair, to reach my prize I have worked out I have worked out that over 15 days or whatever it is, I have got to have over £107k in net market wins and losses. My prize is a fiver. Not being funny but what is the point?

I love these - they're comedy gold. last time I needed to bet the price of a small house to win a tiny novelty fridge, worth £5.99.

got a link?

I only need 47,775 points in 12 days to get a fiver.

"Betfair's most generous free bet and prize giveaway ever!"

Confused

Don't think I've ever had anything from these 'generous' offers. I've 250 points and only need another 12,775 and I'll pick up a tenner Crazy

You lot must bet an awful lot to have such big targets. Mine is 2405. Which bookmakers do you use that take a bet apart from Pinnacle, SBO, 188 and greek?

Doesn't make sense for anyone to do all their betting via betfair these days, Investor, as I'm sure you're aware.

I don't know how but I have made my 7365 target for £100 with a week to spare! HUZZAH!
Report Mr Magoo • February 20, 2012 11:07 AM GMT
I'll be lucky to reach 1/10 of my target points. Which is weird, because I haven't changed my level of betting recently. Betfair normally pick these promotion targets so that you get little or nothing if you continue to bet as normal, but you have a chance of getting a prize if you increase your betting by a fair amount. But do they really think I'm going to bet 10x as much on here in order to get their £100 bonus?
Report viva el presidente! • February 20, 2012 11:52 PM GMT
basically these things aren't really aimed at heavy users. it's just unfortunate that they generate targets that are so laughable.

I still want my Betfair diary :)


The reward chest points counter seems very broken. I just went to the page this morning and I now have almost ten times the points that I had yesterday. Are Betfair making these point counts up? My points will have to double again to reach the target though.

40100 points for a £5 "fee bet" ....... I reckon about £100,000 of turnover, you couldnt make it up!!! Priceless

I need to lose my entire betfair balance just twice to claim my fiver.

Well TTS, that's nice. If you double your bank and then do a full bank job and lose, rest assured that you won't be completely broke!

So i completed the points target and now they have reset it.

So you have to start all over again?

So am i right in thinking they won't pay out?
Report twomolinaris • February 27, 2012 10:47 AM GMT
according to the bloke on the telephone sir bond the free money goes in your account by wednesday. And the new rewards chest is a totally different offer . Hope that helps u out mate
Report Mr Magoo • February 27, 2012 12:44 PM GMT
I wonder how many people have lost out on the offer due to Betfair not crediting points on Australian markets recently?
Report viva el presidente! • February 27, 2012 2:50 PM GMT
same here sir_b. fluke week of results meant I hit the £25 target with two hours to go - then when I looked it had been reset to 0 and I had 10,000 points to go.

not massively bothered for 25 quid, but it would probably be a good move for them to make it clear they're gonna pay out on the original offer and haven't just moved the goalposts.

Two cross-market arbs and I hit my target, but where is my £25? Typical bf failure of communication.

They could quite easily make up the names for the daily prizes though.
