Bet365 25% bonus confused

9de5q7tsr8u2im

Ready to drop €300 on bet365's dirty 25% bonus.

Just to make this clear and simple:

€300 in account, risk the deposit to activate bonus of €75.

Use risk free bonus €75 bet it 3 times , 3 seperate bets of odds 1/2 or greater.

Method 1
Bet 1: €75 odds 1/2 returns €112.5
Bet 2: €75 odds 1/2 returns €112.5
Bet 3: €75 odds 1/2 returns €112.5

Method 2
Bet 1: €75 odds 1/2 returns €112.5
Bet 2: €112.5 odds 1/2 returns €168.75
Bet 3: €168.75 odds 1/2 returns €253.125

Are both acceptable and each has their own rewards and risks correct?


If that bonus is successful after all 3 bets then i have to do the same for my bonus in my own money, but this time i have to risk total of €900 right?
Also i forgot to say too, ill have to risk the 300 at the start too so thats another massive risk?!?

Is the 25% bonus stake returned when you place the first free bet?
How do you know the difference in your account when you have the free bet and also the money out of your own pocket?

When you go into balances, it tells you what you are able to withdraw or not.

I thought it's only up to 100 quid?

That depends. I got a 25 quid bonus. Did well on the in play offer. Withdrew everything except the 25 bonus. I've been wagering since then and am in profit.

All profits from the bonus funds become bonus funds until the wagered requirements are met. I'm about 60 buck away now and up to around 120 in the bonus balance. I would have thought excess funds beyond the core bonus would have been cleared immediately but apparently not.

Damn no asian handicap or goal line allowed?

Is double chance allowed? Corners? Cards?
Goals a team scores, eg man u over 1.5 team goals etc?

ballyargus

Only double chances are precluded afaik. I've done corners and cards bets. They've qualified just fine.

So dc is excluded?

Better of with +0.5 AH anyway than with DC.

did you sign up for this? they've another offer on now, that matches the deposit 100%, up to €200.

though afaict you've to bet the deposit to activate it, then bet 3 x (dep. + bonus) to withdraw it. - what could go wrong
need one 1.5 in the bet for it to count towards totals, one bet that counts per event. no AH or goal line, cash out.

Is that not just their standard sing up bonus?

They offered me a 50% reload bonus at the start of the season - deposit €200 and get a bonus of €100.

The account is in profit but because of their €50 free in play bet I will always keep the net profit figure close to zero by purposefully losing a bet with them but covering it on Betfair for a small overall loss (about 6% of the Bet365 stake).

Over the full season its very profitable for me especially as they have a wide range of asian markets that most of the other books don't offer.

They can probably see what I am doing as I have a very specific betting strategy and when I lose one of these bets it is completely out of character to my normal bets but it is extending the lifetime of the account before they eventually close or limit me.
