Betfair are offering new customers 18+ a fantastic £100 in free bets – and we show you how to start snapping them up by betting on this weekend’s football…and hopefully making a big profit!

How do I get £100 in free bets at Betfair?

In all honesty, it’s not a quickfire process. It’s not a “wham bam, thank you ma’am” in the sense that it’s not one bet = one free bet.

Instead, Betfair like to reward loyalty from customers who will stay with them rather than the ‘here today gone tomorrow’ types who are in it for one quick hit.

And that’s fine by us, because the £100 in free bets offer allows you to build up your betting bank and/or withdraw any profits just as long as you stick to the criteria for the promotion.

How much do I need to stake to get £100 in free bets?

The simple answer is £250. But not all at once – it’s essentially five £10 bets to trigger a £20 free bet, and you can do that five times to reach the maximum £100 in free bets.

So it works like this:

Open a Betfair account via this link
Place 5 single bets of £10 or more on different Betfair Sportsbook markets at minimum odds of 1/2
After your 5 qualifying bets have been settled, you will receive a £20 free bet
Repeat this process up to 5 times to receive the maximum available bonus of £100 (5 x £20 free bets)

What else do I need to know?

Qualifying bets are those placed and settled within the first 30 days after you open your account
Cashed Out and Voided bets do not qualify
Bets placed using free bets as the stake (in full or part) will not qualify
Only one bet per event qualifies
Multiple bets are excluded
Free bets are valid for 30 days

Which qualifying bets should I place?

Let’s bag a £20 free bet on Saturday by betting £10 on each of the following Premier League matches. We only have 30 days to get the full £100 of free bets available so there’s no time like the present to crack on!

Bet No 1: Aston Villa vs Liverpool – Liverpool to be ahead at HT/FT @ 10/11 with Betfair

Liverpool play Manchester City next weekend and will be desperate to ensure they go into that match still six points clear, at the very least, at the top of the Premier League table.

Jurgen Klopp completely rested his entire current first-choice XI for the Carabao Cup in midweek, so his European champions will be fresh and ready to go at Villa Park.

Bet No 2: Manchester City vs Southampton – Home win and both teams to score @ 8/5 with Betfair

Similarly to the match above, City will not want to travel to Anfield with anything worse than a six-point deficit to Liverpool and they really should ease to victory against a Southampton side beaten 9-0 in their last league match.

However, Saints scored a consolation goal at the Etihad Stadium in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie between these clubs and could be capable of doing so again, especially with Danny Ings back in the team.

Bet No 3: Sheffield United vs Burnley – Home win @ 13/10 with Betfair

Sheffield United have been something of a revelation in the Premier League this season and after beating Arsenal in their last home game, they can do likewise against Burnley.

The Blades are very solid defensively but the same cannot be said about Burnley’s recent performances, for they have conceded eight goals in their last four matches and look vulnerable at Bramall Lane.

Bet No 4: West Ham United vs Newcastle United – Home win @ 3/4 with Betfair

Let’s go now with what looks like more of a banker bet in the sense that we confidently expect West Ham to beat Newcastle – and will get a 75% profit on our stake if they do.

Admittedly the Hammers have not been firing on all cylinders recently, but they should not be unduly troubled by a goal-shy Magpies side and ought to have the quality to break down the visitors at least once or twice.

Bet No 5: Watford vs Chelsea – Away win and under 4.5 goals in the match @ Evens with Betfair

Watford have made only marginal improvement since Quique Sanchez Flores returned as their manager and the Premier League’s bottom club look set to stay in that position by losing at home to Chelsea.

The Hornets are not too bad defensively but do not bag enough goals, so they are unlikely to contribute too much to the scoring as Chelsea notch up an anticipated fifth straight Premier League victory.

Potential total returns from our five £10 bets = £105.59…and you will receive a £20 free bet.

Good luck!
