The selection here is DOLOS @7/1 with Ladbrokes for £25, refunded as free bet if loses.
Ladbrokes Saturday Specials
1:55 Newbury – Ladbrokes Money Back Special
First up a racing special – worth getting involved in this one.
You could play for the freebet buy laying off but I’ll just have £25 on the Favourite Midterm @ 5/2
If we lose we’ll get a freebet refund that should be worth about £19 once cashed out.
Ladbrokes In Play Offer – Chelsea v Tottenham (17:15 KO)
Bet £20.00 in play via mobile on Chelsea v Tottenham and Ladbrokes will give us a £10.00 free in play bet to be used on Burnley v Man Utd on Sunday. I’ll post a qualifier for this via twitter. As usual I’ll probably just back over or under 2.5 or Both teams to score yes/no depending on back/lay odds.
Freebet: Man Utd to win 1-0 as soon as in play @ around 5.50
Cheltenham Day 4
Not been able to land any winners with this which is annoying, I hope the favourite today will get us some reward.
£20 Defi Du Seuil @ 5/2 Skybet
Freebets:
I’ve cashed out yesterday’s £20 freebet from Skybet to get £16 back, by backing/laying North Hill Harvey in the 2:10 Cheltenham at the odds shown below: (use the calculator to enter current odds if they’ve changed)
Ladbrokes free £10 bet from yesterday:
I am actually using this one on the weekend football:
Man City v Liverpool (4:30 Sunday)
Man City failed to keep a clean sheet in all 8 games against top 7 sides this season.
Liverpool scored in all 5 away games at top 7 sides this season, drawing at Utd and Spurs.
I think this could easily end up 1-1 but will take the “Both to Score and Draw” for more coverage.
£10 Lads freebet, match result and both teams to score, “score draw” @ 16/5
Ladbrokes also gave me a free £2 bet in the 1:30, I’ve no idea where this came from but here’s what I’ve done with it:
Aside from that I’ve got 3 x £2 in shop Paddypower bets today from the newspapers (Express/Mail/Star)
I’ll be using these on :
3:30 Cheltenham Outlander
3:30 Cheltenham Sizing John
4:40 Cheltenham Tommy Silver
(These are only selections for the freebets!)
Update later for weekend football, with possible bets kicking off this evening.
Cheltenham Day 3
Today’s pick for the first race special with Skybet is £20 on Top Notch @ 100/30.
I’m swerving the favourite Yorkhill as I don’t think its value, especially given the way Mullins horses have been going. I could be wrong of course but its very low risk with a decent upside if this comes in.
Mullins v Elliot in this one and again Mullins is worth taking on given Ladbrokes are refunding losing bets if his favourite Un De Sceaux wins this.
2:50 Cheltenham
£10 Empire Of Dirt @ 5/2 Ladbrokes
Cheltenham day 2
Today’s pick in the first is Bacardys @ 7/2, so £20 win with Skybet with refund if loses.
Update around 1:30/2:00
Today’s Cheltenham Bets
Keeping it simple in the first, £20 on Melon with Skybet, money back as a freebet if it loses.
You may prefer Ballyandy, it was close call but I’ve gone with Melon.
4:10 Cheltenham – Ladbrokes Money Back Special:
Vroum Vroum Mag and Limini take a fair chunk of the market and this concession therefore represents a decent bit of insurance/value.
Therefore I’ve had £10 on Apples Jade @ 7/2 (with Ladbrokes)
Daily Star – Free Walk In £2 bet (30p newspaper cost)
My £2 has gone on Footpad @ 16/1 in the 3:30
Haye vs Bellew Betsafe/Hills Specials
Odds of 5/2 on this to last 1 to 3 rounds look generous. Ladbrokes rate it about a 2.62 shot so I’m happy to have a tenner on the 3.50.
£10 fight to end in Round 1-3 @ 3.50 Betsafe
William Hill are offering “Fight to end in Rounds 1-6″ at Evens (2.0), from 7pm online and on mobile (2:30 -5:30pm in shops)
We’ve backed the Betsafe special already but this is also value and looks worth backing also.
£10 stake from 7pm or bet in shop.
Racing Specials (Boxing Day)
26th December Racing Specials (Boxing Day)
Skybet Special:
Henderson’s Gold Present is as good a call as any in this and with money back 2nd/3rd its worth getting involved:
£12.50 @ 10/3 @ Skybet with Concession.
Ladbrokes Mobile:
Boxing Day 3:15 Money Back if Cue Card wins the King George
Suggestion is the obvious one which is to back Thistlecrack, not the max £25 but to £20.
The chances are one of the top two in the market will win so we’ll either get a freebet or the winner. Of course we could lose so don’t rule out that possibility.
£20 on Thistlecrack (@5/4) with Ladbrokes VIA MOBILE
Racing Offers
Skybet are offering money back (as a free bet) if 2nd or 3rd in the 1.25 Ascot.
Given this race has a very strong favourite in Order of St George this is well worth taking advantage of.
I’ve backed Order Of St George for £25 @ Evens with them.
The horse has been placed in 10 of 13 runs overall and has never been out the top 2 at distances at 13f or further. (This is 16f and he’s won over 20f at Ascot)
Coral also have an offer on the race, offering money back if Order Of St George wins.
With what amounts to a 50% chance of this insurance kicking in its worth a punt on an outsider as well:
£5 Quest For More @ 10/1 Coral
Ladbrokes Arc Money Back Special
A decent little offer from Ladbrokes on the Arc.
I’ve backed and then layed Found @ 8.0/9.0 with Ladbrokes/Betfair which means I’ll lose £3.80 on the bet.
However if the favourite Postponed wins the race I’ll get a free £25 from Ladbrokes worth around £17.50, that’s equivalent to just under 5/1 on a 2/1 shot, so worth doing.
If the selection were to win at bigger odds than 7/1 Ladbrokes are BOG on the race so we would profit there also.
