As with many big horse racing and other sporting events, you will find that there are many free bet deals offered by, in particular, online bookmakers during the Epsom Derby weekend.

Remember, too, that Euro 2008 begins this weekend also. As a result, there are even more special incentives out there that the average punter can take advantage of.

In this piece I’ll do the leg work for you, and show you some of the best deals, and explain what you need to do to qualify for these great free bets. Read on for the very latest free bet offers that you can claim and get some free cash back from the bookies this Epsom Derby weekend.

Boylesports – £200 of free bets

Boylesports have been offering £200 worth of free bets for some time now (we have the banner at the top of each page no less!) – what better time to sign up than the Epsom Derby – which is one of the biggest gambled British horse racing events of the year – if you were going to have a bet anyway, why not get a free bet out of the deal???

Totesport – Free £125 Bets

Totesport, a long time favourite of Systemlays, not least thanks to their great pool bets that we love so much on course (Placepots and Jackpots make a cheap (£2) fun bet for every race!). Now Totesport have made signing up and opening a new account with them an even better idea: you getup to £125 worth of free bets!

All you have to do is sign up a new account, put in some money with the card of your choice, and place your first bet of between £10 and £50. Totesport will immediately credit your account with a free bet of equal value.

Then, after 5 more bets have been placed, Totesport will credit your account with an additional £25 free bet.

5 more bets placed will see you land a £50 free bet too – a total of up to £125 in free bets!

Just click the Totesport banner below, sign up a new account, and place your bets. Free bets are added straightaway with Totesport – no messy emails or strings attached.

Betdaq – £25 Free Bet

Betdaq are offering new customers a £25 matched bet for the duration of Euro 2008. It is not clear whether this applies only to football bets, but the important bit is this:

Click the Betdaq banner on the right-hand side and be sure to enter the code EURO2008AF in the promo code section when signing up your new account.

Betdaq is a betting exchange which allows you to match bets against other punters. This means that they often offer better odds than traditional bookmakers.

Betfair – £25 Free Bet

another betting exchange – our favourite – Betfair is also offering a £25 free bet during Euro 2008 to new signups who deposit and bet £25. Click the here to qualify.

SportingBet – £150 Free Bets

SportingBet are offering up to £150 worth of free bets to new members. If you sign up, deposit and bet £10, that bet will be matched with a free bet of £10. It gets a little complicated after that, as you have to “Beat the Bookie” but the free tenner is worth having.
