Jamie’s Top Tips for Sports Betting

Play free-to-play games to earn free bets

I’m a sucker for a free-to-play prediction game but they’re also a really handy way to earn free bets with no deposit. Granted, the free bet values can often be small, but what bettor doesn’t get a thrill out of turning a £1 free bet into a 20/1 winning acca? My advice is to enter several free bet games every week, claim your free bets as they come and use them shrewdly.

Shop for the best odds

I’ve never been the type of punter who sticks religiously to one bookmaker, so I’ve always found odds comparison tools very useful when I’m researching a bet. Over time, you can accumulate an ample number of betting accounts and whichever bookie has the best odds will usually get my custom.

Don’t bet more than you can afford to lose

Thankfully, responsible gambling messaging is widespread in the industry now, but it’s still wise to take stock of your gambling habits regularly even if you don’t feel like you have a problem. If you like a flutter but you also find yourself struggling to make ends meet month-to-month, then it’s time to re-assess how much you’re depositing into your accounts. Don’t be afraid to use safer gambling tools to stay in control.
