Does anybody know if the £200 free bet still works..?

Cheers Tommy

The £200 is redundant, as far as I know.

With their current terms I wouldn't want to attempt the £200 anyway. If you won a bet you'd be in there forever.

Effectively you have a Cash balance and a bonus balance. The bonus balance has to be wagered 6 times but any wagers you place use your real balance first, so if your first bet wins you need to lose all your winnings or bet all your balance to wager the bonus once more.

Further to that their terms state that wagering your whole balance is bonus abuse.

My mate was in Canbet for 10 days for the £30 bonus and couldn't pick a loser. He ended up mugging it on low odds tennis to complete the WR and even then he only made £33.50 profit

£33.50 profit from a £30 freebet ? thats good!
Or am i missing something.
Ive just done the £30 one now, for £24 odd profit, but i just want to get in and out fast, and move on.

He made £33.50 profit and wasn't laying, i.e. mugging at odds of 1.01 on the likes of Federer

Oh, i see what you mean, i didn't know what you meant by mugging!
It means something different where i live

hi all,great site and forum,just wish i had found it sooner,would have saved me money,i have a problem trying to get my money out of canbet,what with there stupid real money,bonus money account,same old story bet to lose,lay betfair,wins at bookies,i have a couple of hundred in canbet and would like some advice on a good way to get it all out.i know that another person said that they had a friend,who had the same problem,and that he got it out by mugging,how exactly does that work, if i bet my full balance they treat it as bonus abuse.if i can get it out in £50 amounts losing a small bit each time that would do,what i dont want is to bet it all,and it wins at canbet again,(have not got a big betfair account)any advice most welcome.
canbet and there way of treating new customers with the sign up bonus is very poor,how do they get away with this.

thanks
terry

Hi - I initially had this problem coz my qualifier won at CAnbet but I just plugged on betting it on the horses laying at BF - I found if I bet at Canbet then held my nerve as long as possible at BF before I layed than I actually got really low lay and made a few quid each time extra - mind you all my horses had 3 legs!

Hi Terry
Mugging a bet means the bet has not been layed off at betfair. You have to hope it wins and withdraw the profit.

hi:thanks for the info,did try the horse racing backing and laying,of course the horse won,so thats more money i have to try to get out,i was thinking of taking the hit with the bonus,and the winnings of the first bet,saying i did not understand bonus requirements and get the rest out.thanks again for your replys.

thanks
