Wednesday delivers a headline Champions League tie at the Allianz Arena where Bayern Munich face Chelsea – the ideal springboard to unlock BetUK’s welcome. Stake just £10 pre-match at the right price and you’ll collect £30 in free bets, split across football, horse racing and a Bet Builder token.
Qualify on tonight’s Bayern v Chelsea clash, then deploy the three tokens on Thursday’s card: Manchester City v Napoli, the Ayr 3:15 fillies’ handicap, and Newcastle v Barcelona. Follow the staking path below and that single tenner can be parlayed into £126.15 in total returns.
This only works if you complete the qualifying step today, so your tokens are ready for tomorrow’s fixtures. Place the first bet now, then use the free swings on Thursday.

✅ Qualifying Bet – Bayern Munich vs Chelsea (20:00, Wed 17 Sep)
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 Goals @ 6/5 (2.20)
Potential Return: £22.00 (Profit: £12.00)
Match Insight
Bayern arrive rampant – five wins from five domestically and a 5-0 cruise against Hamburg – while Chelsea’s openers have featured lively exchanges. With Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry and Luis Díaz on one side and Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and João Pedro on the other, a goal-heavy opener looks realistic. Most importantly, this wager qualifies you at the right odds before Thursday’s free-bet plays.
🎯 How to Use Your Free Bets on Thursday
We’ll stage the tokens across the evening so you can follow along. Remember: free-bet stakes are not returned; for clarity, we list “Free Bet Return” as odds × £10, matching the totals below.
⚽ Free Bet 1: Football – Manchester City vs Napoli (20:00, Thu 18 Sep)
Market: Manchester City to Win @ 8/13 (1.615)
Free Bet Return: £16.15 (Profit equivalent using token: £16.15)
Rationale:
City have won five of their last six UCL matchday-one ties and are 21 unbeaten in League Phase/group games at the Etihad. Erling Haaland sits on 49 Champions League goals and Phil Foden is purring again. Napoli travel superbly under Conte but have never beaten an English club away in Europe.
🐎 Free Bet 2: Horse Racing – Ayr 3:15 Thu – 1m2f EBF Fillies’ H’cap (Class 4)
Selection: Donna Nook – to Win @ 3/1 (4.00)
Free Bet Return: £40.00 (Profit equivalent using token: £40.00)
Rationale:
A strong second on stable debut at Southwell suggests David O’Meara has Donna Nook spot on. The extra furlong looks a plus and Daniel Tudhope keeps the ride. With several rivals unproven at the trip/class, she rates a fair play with the racing token.
🔁 Free Bet 3: Bet Builder – Newcastle United vs Barcelona (20:00, Thu 18 Sep)
Suggested Bet Builder:
- Barcelona to Win
- Both Teams to Score
- Over 3.5 Goals
Combined Odds: 19/5 (4.80)
Free Bet Return: £48.00 (Profit equivalent using token: £48.00)
Why this works:
Lewandowski and Raphinha headline a Barca attack fresh from a 6-0 league win, while Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade brings aerial menace at St James’ Park. The Catalans rarely lose matchday one, yet the Magpies create enough to notch – perfect for a high-scoring away victory.
