Won a nice freebet and spent it on one of the specials on the dailys, so I finally hit. A small one. Dortumund to win and score 2.5 goals, of course it was so tight as they won 3-2 but it seems for me to win I have to do stuff like this. Bigger odds specials keep failing, and I only managed to win 2.15x so 1.15 as freebet was not returned with wager.

Afcon promo ded with Algeria out. I wonder which promo will come next now I'm bored

AFCON has a few more matches happening as Senegal are preparing to take the field and then Morocco later on today.
There was a special for over 1.5 goals and them to win at a pretty good price. So I took it.

[buwaytress]

Just to update here, Senegal won their 2nd match, so I got my second freebet today. It was for Blackjack again and instead of putting all 0.2mbtc on 1 hand, I decided to split it on main hand and on dealer bust.

If you remember, my first freebet hand was a 12, hit and got 9, so I won 0.4 (freebet returned in live casino).

Today, I got a natural blackjack haha. Which was a shame since the sidebet was returned, total won: 0.35.

0.75mbtc in cash returned AND Senegal are still alive. All I need now is for them to get 1 more win and at least money back =D

After seeing Cape Verde get a red card mid way through the first half it already felt like a win but at the same time I don't like how they're taking so long to score though. 

For my second free chips I got 0.3 mbtc winning 3/4 rounds after playing the 0.2mbtc free chip not bad considering I lost most of my rounds on the first free chip.

As long as Senegal wins the next one I might break even because win or lose means they still have another match for the third place decider worst case scenario they lose both but I hope they won't.

Those red cards in the Cape Verde match were early enough for Senegal to capitalize on in the match but they didn't.
With the likes of Mendy, Mane, Sarr and Mendy you would think they were alot of goals to come from this team but before this game they only scored one and it was a late goal from a penalty in their last match.
The Cape Verde side were playing with 9 men having those two red cards in the first half and early into the second (21'&57' mark) up until Mane scored at the 63' minute then went off due to a head injury with the goalkeeper.
So with only 3 goals in the tournament is a pretty poor performance as many from the AFCON coverage would agree. Yet they are favorites to go on to the semis in February.
Next matches are on Saturday with Gambia vs Cameroon and Burkina Faso vs Tunisia.

Congrats to you and buwaytress on the wins in blackjack from your free chips/free bets.

Does anyone know the requirements for the 4-3 free? I was just about to lock my predictions for the next match and it seems like they've added a bet requirement for the entries.

Hopefully, the bet requirement is only for the AFCON rounds.

Place a bet on any event in the amount of $10 or more and after the bet is calculated you will be granted access.

This is a normal practice ... after all, Sportsbet encourages active users in this way.

I guess the Afcon promo only pays out if your team actually wins in Regular or Extra Time,,, I have Egypt on my promo and despite that they progressed to the next round, I did not get any freebet to play with. This is such a shame, to pick such a great team and only they won once in 4 games!

Good luck to ralle and buway for their Senegal pick. Best scenario is for Egypt to meet Senegal and we all get as many chances to win as possible.

Didn't realize they had a bet requirement until ralle14 mentioned it.
Went to the 4-3-free promotions page and was able to enter in with that sign in red showing, so it shows there even though you are eligible to enter.
Only because I had a bet late yesterday for the AO they took it as my bet required.

Yes, Mo Salah and Egypt didn't do much in this tournament and they were a disappointment for many.
Senegal is doing alright and they should go all the way to the finals the way the other teams are performing. Surprising for a side which only scored 3 goals all tournament long.

They didnt had this on few previous rounds of the 4-3 free promo isnt it? this is the first time that I know that this requirement exist. Kinda expecting this to happen anytime soon though, some people probably try to abuse this at some point that sportsbet decided to add a requirement for this 'free' event ( sportsbet are too generous with their promotions sometimes lol )

So if it allows you access that is it? Does not seem clear enough on the site. They should have added something in the rules. I saw the red text and tried to find some explanation but without success.

I have more 10$ every day, so should not be a problem.

[rdbase]

Another AFCON promotion under specials for today with Cameroon to win and both to score @5.20x looks too good to pass up.

The Senegal one hit that I was saying I took. So for this one you still have time as there are not really anything else to bet on with the EPL, La Liga and Serie A having nothing happening this weekend.

Well since I bet almost every day here I guess the promo is available to me,,, and I can enter and see my predictions so I guess it works for me? $10 right now is only something like 0.25 mbtc so it is not a big problem, but they should maybe just make the promo disappear until you meet requirements so as to not cause confusion?

[arallmuus]

but they should maybe just make the promo disappear until you meet requirements so as to not cause confusion?

Like completely dissapear if your account is new? Nah I think its better to be up there and its kinda appealing especially to new accounts. Bet atleast $10 and receive up to $50 in free bets, that a great promotions for sure but if you remove it from accounts that isnt eligible for the promotions than some new guy wont even know that about this promotion

Completely agree with arallmuus here. Why make a completely free offer gone if active on your account. Then it shouldn't be a problem.
I think they put this meet these requirements rule in the terms because there might have been a large increase in new accounts created which were just entering into this promo and not wagering anything. So I can see why they would impose this.
That is alot of upkeep just to cull these accounts once seen as inactive and then dumped.

I guess what I mean here is make the Availability to bet disappear not the promo itself (so to avoid confusion). Seems like you misunderstood me rdbase, why on earth would I ever ask for a completely free offer to be gone if you are active?

If the reason you offer is right, then all they need to do is automatically make the promo page display a blocked sign or message saying: wager $10 to access this page. Not having a sign in red to confuse everyone who already wagered. Anyway no big issue for me,,, I can bet on it, I was just suggesting.

I got a nice special win some few days ago too did I mention?

[ralle14]

Another win for Senegal they're looking somewhat better and better as they progress and hopefully, it continues as they have the easier matchup in the semis.

Also, the Arsenal free chips just got credited today, I didn't get much out of it only 0.1mbtc profit as I got greedy and only split the chips within a couple of bets.

Easier on paper, but on the Afcon thread it seems a lot of people are going against them or for the draw. I'm backing my man Mane to get his third goal today, but an assist would be sweet too.

Played my Arsenal free chips today and won 0.4 mbtc. I went a bit "safe" and just bet on both sides red/black, and then put 0.1 and won that. So that brings my total winnings to 1.15 mbtc. Nett profit 0.15 mbtc but looking forward to Senegal progressing for another chance and freebet.

Would be super cool for a Mane hattrick and get 0.5mbtc cash too -- we can all dream right?

Based on their head to head it kind of makes sense plus it was mentioned that Senegal has a trend where their semi finals match tends to end in a draw.

A hattrick would be the best case scenario for us but I feel like both teams will play defensive so I kind of like the under on this one if i'd bet on something.

Also the Saints promo seems good but unfortunately, it's on OneTouch though they have a rule where you can't bet on both red and black.

Just under an hour left! 3-0, 0-1, 0-1 after extra time, heck, even penalties will do for me if we get Senegal over the line (I wonder if we still get the freebet though actually if it ends up being penalties, probably not?).

Betting on under's never my thing, unless the value's right, which it still doesn't look even with the boost.

I actually don't think I've ever played OneTouch games. EVO or classic (not sure who's the provider) for me, and always only because of promos. Only time I'd play Casino is when I truly feel rich, and that's only cause Evo's really really raised the bar IMO. No red/black? Oh well, split all the chips and go on 1/3 chance when you see 9-streak no hits, that's my way without red/black haha!

P.S. Any of you somehow weirdly miss Live Casino Hero? I don't want to put myself through that any time soon of course, but I looked at games today and I don't recognise a single dealer anymore! I miss this one guy forget his name, Jurgis or something, bearded and big. Bloody funny and he knows how to host Blackjack!
