I should probably switch from Skybet, as they don't do in play cash back on lost bets, as I am definitely the sort of person to do that.
It'll cover my losses at least 🙂
You may be right sadexpunk, especially if you are not making any other 'mug' bets to keep the account alive, however, although I cant see the small print as the offer isnt on at the moment, a google search reveals "Finally, you cannot use the free bet to ensure a profit, for example by backing both teams to score pre-match and then using your in-play bet to back both teams NOT to score. " I think this is similar to what you (and admittedly hundreds if not thousands of others are doing)...
it is ian, youre right, i wasnt aware of that rule, thanks. in that case youd think theyd cancel all winning bets like that wouldnt you.
Nah, it goes back to what you said earlier, they are happy to take the (tiny) losses if it gets people to open accounts/bet more. You're account seems solely for the use of the promotion that you cant lose on, so they limit you. Let you have a few that win but if your betting pattern doesnt change just stop giving you promotions 🙁
