They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but with free bets it does seem as though they may be wrong. Betting promotions of all kinds offer punters, and especially new punters, a chance to play the odds at no cost. However, is free betting the real deal or is it just another scheme to trick the unwary out of their money?

The answer, naturally, is that it depends. Almost all free bet promotions come with a lengthy list of conditions and small print that you will want to be sure to understand. Many of the free bet offers are contingent on opening a new account or depositing a certain amount with the bookmaker. On some of the free bets, bookmakers require you to bet a certain amount of times in order to cash out any winnings from your free bet offers.

Thus, when you look at any betting bonus offer, you will want to consider your own personal profit margins and playing habits. Do you switch between many different bookmakers? If so, you may be able to benefit from the new account opening bonuses and free bets that are available.

Do you place a lot of bets over the course of a season? Do you like to have multiple wagers going at one time? If so, you will want to look at bookmakers with free sports bet offers or offers that have play through requirements, as these will benefit you.

Whatever your playing style, there is likely to be a free bet offer target toward you. Browse the current promotions and check out the fine print before proceeding to the bookmaker's sites to be sure you aren't wasting time on promotions you can't use. There are some very nice free bets offers available, and it never hurts to play, even briefly, on another's dime.
