⚽ Qualifying Bet – Birmingham City vs Ipswich Town
📅 Friday 8 August, 20:00 UK | Championship
Suggested Bet: Draw
Odds: 9/4 (3.25)
Potential Return: £32.50 (Profit: £22.50)
Birmingham return to the Championship with momentum after a record-breaking League One campaign, while Ipswich are reeling from a tough Premier League season. Despite Birmingham’s strong home form, Ipswich’s unbeaten pre-season makes this a finely balanced contest. With both sides evenly matched and still settling new signings, backing the draw at 9/4 provides value — and more importantly, qualifies you to unlock your Free Bets ahead of Saturday’s card.
💡 How to Use Your Free Bets – Saturday 9 August
Once Friday’s match concludes and your qualifying bet settles, your Free Bet tokens will be credited. Saturday offers a rich slate of football and racing – here’s a focused strategy to extract maximum potential from each token.
🏆 £10 Football Free Bet – QPR vs Preston
📅 Saturday 9 August, 15:00 UK | Championship
Suggested Bet: QPR to Win
Odds: 6/5 (2.20)
Free Bet Return: £22.00 (Profit: £12.00)
QPR welcome Preston in Julien Stephan’s first league game in charge. The R’s have won their last four against Preston and looked organised during pre-season. Backing the home side with your £10 Football Free Bet is a smart use – and a strong potential return builder.
⚽ £10 Bet Builder Free Bet #1 – Stoke City vs Derby County
📅 Saturday 9 August, 15:00 UK | Championship
Suggested Bet: Stoke to Win + Over 2.5 Goals + Both Teams to Score
Combined Odds: 6/1 (7.00)
Free Bet Return: £70.00 (Profit: £60.00)
Stoke come into the new campaign off the back of strong pre-season form, while Derby’s away record remains a concern. With both sides expected to find the net, but Stoke tipped to edge it, this Bet Builder provides a juicy return if it lands.
⚽ £10 Bet Builder Free Bet #2 – Sheffield United vs Bristol City
📅 Saturday 9 August, 17:30 UK | Championship
Suggested Bet: Sheffield United to Win + Over 1.5 Team Goals + BTTS No
Combined Odds: 13/5 (3.60)
Free Bet Return: £36.00 (Profit: £26.00)
Sheffield United hammered Bristol City in last season’s playoff semi-final and now begin life under Ruben Selles. With defensive stability and goal threat, this Bet Builder hones in on a confident but controlled Blades performance.
🏇 £10 Horse Racing Free Bet – 3:20 Ascot – Prince of India to Win
📅 Saturday 9 August | Class 2 Handicap, Shergar Cup Sprint
Odds: 4/1 (5.00)
Free Bet Return: £50.00 (Profit: £40.00)
Prince of India has won 3 of his last 4 and drops back to a more favourable sprint distance. Given Ryusei Sakai’s recent form in the saddle (50% win rate last fortnight), the colt looks well-placed to dominate this competitive field. Ideal value for your racing token.
