Happy days, it still works. Basically a no risk even money bet for free.
Betfair used to have a clause in the T&C that laying your free bet invalidates it, as bookies do with arbing on another market with the same bookie.
They never seem to invalidate it though which i find strange. Probably end up with all my free bets getting reclaimed one day in a lump sum :lol:

I read recently that the free bet coupons once activated initiated an account suspension followed by affordability checks :D

Been there before, many moons ago. I think I may have fallen under the radar a little with affordability checks though, I don't make a habit of depositing... I just recycle the same balance over and over, not deposit, withdraw, deposit withdraw etc.

Not sure about the free bet theory though, I love a good conspiracy, but it has to at least be believable :D

Maybe we should ask CS for Beer tokens instead. At least it's not encouraging gambling :D
Have a GOOD evening ...

Really not a good idea to trade when you're pissed out of your brains. At best you forget what stakes you're using, at worst you forget what market you're clicking on!

Same year, haven't reached that one yet, and another big mimer. 77 was a big year for Boney M but nobody can wear pants as tight as that and sing in a deep voice. :lol:

Finished 1977. There were some iconic songs like Hotel California, the next thing you know the flipping muppets are on with a shit song about sitting on the best step of a staircase. :roll:

Yeah pretty shocking alright. I like the song but it's one of those songs that's better without a video :D

At least in the version you posted the audience on TOTP are sort of into it... I suppose that's what passed as dancing in the 70's? Just standing on the spot shaking! To be fair Jimmy Saville could have been there and they were just all terrified!

In this version they look like they're there against their will :)
