Bookie stuff

A couple of things.

Anyone know if Hills have stopped their boosting offers? The facility hasn't appeared on my betslip for some time. I just wonder if they've pulled the plug on me because I've had a good run against them lately.

And B365's ITV 4/1 free bet offer? I haven't had one of them for a while either.

Edit - Doh!... I just realised how I was not seeing the Hills boost... all's well on that front.

Bet365 still advertising 4/1+ offer on their app/website. I’ve forgotten to use it the last couple of times

Yes, I see the ads, etc, but never get notifications of pending freebies.

They don’t notify you at least I’ve never received a notification

They used to, then stopped, then when I enquired they said it was to do with my settings, then I started getting them again, then they stopped again.

I also used to get 'did you know?' notifications after I'd missed a freebie (just to rub it in) but don't get those any more, nor do I get notifications of refunds on what would otherwise be free bets.

Still the best bookie anywhere, mind. Never otherwise limited me regardless of winning runs.

I am not sure about free bets for horse racing but as someone who has previously played on online casinos I can tell you that when a bookie starts giving you freebies in their casino you need to stop playing their casino.

Many years ago Bet 365 started giving me a free fiver a week to use on their casino.

At some point I asked them what the RPT percentage was for the games I played with them. They got back to me and said the average RPT since I joined Bet 365 was 86 percent, despite them supposingly being regulated or made to operate at a RPT of 96 percent.

In America slots and other casino games are of course regulated by law at 95 percent plus.

It seems in the U.K the bookies 'reserve the right' to give you percentages of 86 percent, (which is the phrase they used when I spoke to them), knowing that a player will hardly ever win with those underhand tactics at play.

Hence why the free bets are so often given out to customers either weekly or sometimes daily these days for games on their casinos. - as a sympathies exercise for shafting their customers with unfair RPT's.

The gambling commission and/or government should have the bookmakers regulate their RPT's on their casino side of bookmaking.

But then if this happend I am sure they would cut down the so called 'free bets'.

Re-free bets for horse racing, well good luck to anyone getting them.
