    put on 1 game, the more games the less chance obviously

    that way your win your money back + a little & then can use your £25 free bet, does the free one have to be on 1 bet too?

    if so again just go for small odds, win little to gurantee it then once won and you can bet normal then you can start doing doubles/trebles spin it up

    now that i think of that i may start doing it lol

    Just thinking though are there any T& C eg. must be 3/1 odds for free bet etc? check all before as otherwise i think it be to easy for people to start with a bankroll for betting

    Good point mate

    Yeah it all has to be on 1 bet and the odds have to be at least evens

    Chelsea are evens against Everton

    In my experience free bets can usually only be used on single bets so you wouldn't be able to do a double with Chelsea & Utd (although like young gun said check the T&C's first). You don't usually get your stake back with free bets either so it's all about trying to find some value somewhere in the singles market.

    Even money on Chelsea to win is a decent price imo. It won't be easy at Goodison but they seem to have turned a corner again lately so that may well be worth a shot. 

    Other singles worth looking at are Norwich to win at Palace or Bournemouth to win at Plymouth. Both are 11/8 so you'll get a slightly bigger return on your freebie but they are slightly riskier.

    Good luck with whatever you back.

    Reading won't make it easy for them tonight which is why they're above evens at home. I could be wrong but I don't think they've got Bellamy available tonight & personally I quite fancy the draw.
