If you back something like a non-runner, are the free bets refunded as cash or free bets?

u lose the freebet. say id u back a team draw no bet witha minute left and put the freebet on and it finishes in a draw - u will get no win or no loss but the freebet stake will not be given back. if it was meid just wait for a couple of 2 or 3/1 favs wherethe nearest is say 12/1 and at least worst case u just lose the freebet.hope u guys get paid out tho.

I think I can guess...
Anyway this thread is about BETFRED customers being ripped off and lied to. Not about the ins and outs of free bets. |

say you have £200 free bet, put the lot on horse at 4/1, lay on here at 5.0 if you can , if that horse loses you win £200, if wins then you get £ 800 from baldy but you lose £800 on here. that why you need the horse to lose. forget about free bet stake thats irrevelent in the situation, as you dont get that returned anyway.

I am amazed nobody is taking legal action ... a free bet is NOT the equivalent in cash as you do not get the stake back - the stake is effectively built into the odds - so an even money is a 50/50 chance you stake £10 and win you get £20 back. But with the free bet you only get £10 back. A free bet is effectively only "half" money
It's for this reason and as for the blatant statements in his advertising that I believe the advertising standards could have him. I am also amazed that he actually believes he is in the right it's so clearly wrong and he should pay up in cash. |

IBAS have ruled Fred must pay out in cash, ok for me as I never used free bet balance, but I bet the majority have done.

This is excellent news but probably doesn't help me as I converted my free bets into cash at about 80% of their face value. Don't expect I'll be able to reclaim the other 20%.
