How to do the Bet365 4/1 offer if gubbed – HELP

• Seems my max win amount is £50 on horses

  So I could do £12.50 each way on 4/1 and be in line for a £25 free bet, so question is if this happened, whats best way of extracting any profit

  I have been on live chat and questioned what their rule 9 means, which is “where you are unable to place the maximum risk free bet amount due to restrictions on your bet, we will credit the difference between the maximum risk free bet returns and your actual returns”

  Using the £12.50 above example, they have told me that if the risk free bet horse wins, you would be paid out in full at the £12.50 each way rate, so if you were only able to place say £5 each way on an 8/1 shot, and it won, you would be paid out at £12.50 each way, I assume if it placed you would be paid out at the £12.50 rate too

  My question really is, for anyone that has still done the offer with restricted stakes, what have you been doing with the free bet?

  A risk free £25 free bet could still extract rough £16 if backed and laid a horse at 3.0/3.0 but obviously the next race could have anything in it

  Would you just punt the £25 free bet and hope for the best, because the restriction complicates the laying – i would note that having two winners in a row for me is unheard of, if i never laid the risk free bet when had normal account i would have not made anywhere near as much

  Punting the risk free bet as an each way also seems to reduce the possible profit extraction, because of the place element, or suppose you could fully lay the win and place and hope it bombs out, or just lay the win and hope it doesnt win, but then the latter you are only making 50% of the risk free bet?

  Any guidance would be most grateful
