What is your longest run of QL going for a free bet?

The b365 offer is 4/1+, so by definition you will only get a free bet at best once in 5.

It might feel like everyone else is hitting winners all the time, well, because ppl don’t post it when they have a loser.

Sometimes you might hit two in a row, conversely, sometimes you won’t hit one in ten. It’s not good luck or bad luck, just normal.

What you can do if you want is overlay.

I bet €60 (=£50) and lay €63.27 because I got sick of the dry spells where I’m stuck picking up qualifying losses for a week. Guarantees me €2 for every loser. If I win, then true I pay out significantly more than normal but should still have enough room to extract €30/€40 from the free bet.

With 12 races Sunday to Friday and maybe 8 on Saturday – for a total of 20 races. So I’m picking up €40 per week even if I don’t hit a single winner.

The other thing with the 4/1+ offer is you’re not just looking for lowest QL, you want to limit yourself to horses that have a chance of winning. So 5/5.2 might be a better pick than 10.0/10.0.

and thats why you have no accounts left pbetts :p

no point in going for the least QL if your pick has not got a chance of winning. Most of my money was betfred boosts last week, I didnt hit many winners on bet365

Johnbo , an idea to increase your chances is to back the same horse on skybet and bet365., when sky are doing mb 2nd/3rd and bet365 have the 4/1 winner promo. That way you profit if you come 1st 2nd or 3rd. It seems to work for me most Saturdays. Obviously it helps when fewer runners in the race.

Also theres a good tipster on oddschecker called Andy Holding, he has quite a high success rate, 1 day last week he bagged 5 winners and 2 eachways from 8 picks.

I had a terrible goodwood, only managed 3 4/1 winners (one of which was unwanted) and a beaten by a length at coral! made a bit from boosts etc but its just swings and roundabouts, during chelts it felt like I got a free bet from every race and hit fifth place every time.
along with Gman’s advice, the other thing to do is choose your races carefully, where there is a short favourite back 3 or four different horses at the bookies that do 2nd to fav.
its also worth looking at the place odds as well as you can sometimes cut your QLs to the minimum. (don’t try this at will hill though because they only give you a free bet if you win less than the value of the freebie.)
