Undaunted, I continued setting up the free bets. The next candidate was 888sport. A wager of £25 will result in a £25 free bet (although as of Friday 15th August, that offer seems to have disappeared). I chose to bet on the Community Shield between Manchester United and Portsmouth. A draw offered odds of 3.4 and I offset this with a lay of £23.94 (£62.24 liability) at 3.6, a loss of £2.25 no matter what the result of the game. As it happened, Darren Fletcher sat on the ball when it was easier to score, Tevez was rugby tackled in the penalty area but the referee stared at it but didn't see it and the game finished 0 : 0. A draw - not affected by the resulting penalty shootout which Manchester United won 3 : 1. The overall pot showed a loss of £75.10.
I then turned my attention to Canbet who were offering a variety of free bet options, the best (in my opinion) being a £30 free bet for a £20 stake. I bet my £20 on the Irish Premier League game between Patricks Athletic and Drogheda. I bet that there would be nothing to separate the two sides and it would finish in a draw at odds of 3.2. I managed to get lay odds of 3.1 which meant that my loss was limited to £0.07. "Paul Keegan struck his first goal of the season to hand Drogheda United a precious win over title challengers St Patrick's Athletic." The overall loss was now £75.17.
