Using free bets offered in the form of multiple tokens

• Hi,

  Matt’s free bet guide, using the example of Ladbrokes, doesn’t pick up on what is the best strategy when dealing with free bets which are provided as multiple tokens, e.g. £20 as two £10’s or four £5’s. I did search, but couldn’t find a relevant thread, hence starting this one.

  I have encountered two of these so far after successful qualifying bets and as these were amongst my first batch of sign up offers (where it is taking me a while to identify the right markets to bet on), I placed them all on the same market on either a premiership or live match (or both) thereby totalling a £20 bet, which I then layed in one go in the exchange.

  I have seen two other online guides to sign up offers that run through free bet examples using tokens and state to lump them all on the same bet, but I read on another forum that it would be safer to place the free bet components on separate markets, as this would look less suspicious to the bookmaker.

  Is this a big problem for the two sign ups that I have already completed? £20 doesn’t seem like a huge amount to place on a single outcome that would set of alarm bells. I guess I could follow up with some mug bets with £20 stakes, which would demonstrate that a £20 bet on a single outcome is not out of kilter with my usual betting pattern.

  The next time I come across this with sign up free bets, I think the total is going to be £30, so I am thinking that splitting them up may be more important as the free bet total gets higher.

  As ever I am grateful for any advice.

  Cheers,
  TE
