Bwin £20 free bet daily (basketball)

Thanks for posting this, what are the lay odds like for this? Is it eligible to UK punters?

Betway used to do something like this.

I ended up doing total points odd/even market each time. Basically betting on a coin toss.

Odds here are about 1.91. So long term for each 20 you bet you win back 19.10. So <5% cost of getting on.

It’s something to consider if you want to do this offer quick and can’t find good back and lay or don’t want to be caught for commission.

I haven’t yet done this offer (was waiting for confirmation from bwin that it’s open to UK customers because they only mentioned euro amounts before), but it’s on all basketball leagues so shouldn’t mean staying up late. Basketball is a popular sport pretty much everywhere that isn’t the UK, so there are exchange markets with decent liquidity. Not huge amounts, but sufficient.

That said, if you want to go for the NBA games, Sundays are probably the best days as they stagger the games through the day and they often start at about 6pm UK time.

Just like football, I’d guess the best time to back and lay will be at half time. Between quarters and at time-outs might work, but that’s still only a couple of minutes.
