Greyhound racing was once the most thrilling and popular sport in the United Kingdom, being so loved by people that more and more greyhound venues began popping up all around the country. Sadly, interest in the sport died off as the years past, meaning that nowadays it not the all-encompassing activity that it once was. It remains popular with bettors, however, who are keen to place wagers on the outcome of the races that do take place. If you fit into that category and have been irked previously when your selection has come second to the starting price favourite, QuinnBet have an offer that you might just be interested in.
How QuinnBet’s Second to the Favourite Greyhound Offer Works
If you’re looking at placing a bet on a greyhound race then you might want to at least consider doing so with QuinnBet. Whilst the company obviously can’t promise that you’ll score a winner every time, what they can do is make things a little bit less painful if you’ve placed a wager on a greyhound and the witnessed it coming in second to the SP favourite, coming close but not quite close enough. The promotion that they have running sees you get your stake money back as a free bet, up to £10, if you’ve placed your bet on one of the selected qualifying races and had that happen to you.
It is important to check whether the race that you’re betting on qualifies, given the fact that this promotion could be confused with the same one on horse racing. With the horse racing offer, though, it counts towards any race run in the United Kingdom and Ireland, whereas the greyhound offer is only on certain qualifying races. There are certain things that your bet will need to do in order to qualify for this promotion too, which is another thing that you must bear in mind if you’re looking to take advantage of it.
How to Make Use of the Promotion
For those hoping to qualify, the first thing that you’ll need to do is to ensure that your selection is running in one of the qualifying races. After that, you’ll need to check that there are at least six dogs running in the race, or else the offer won’t stand. The starting price favourite will need to have odds of greater than 6/4 in order for the promotion to come into play. Once you’ve met those specific restrictions, you could get your stake money back, up to a maximum of £10, if your chosen greyhound comes second to the favourite when the race reaches its conclusion. That means that your dog has to come second and the favourite first.
The offer is in place on win single bets and the win part of each-way wagers. If the winning greyhound happens to be a joint favourite then you can still get your stake refunded to you as a free bet. The offer is up to a maximum of £10 per race, so if you have more than one bet on for a race then the first one placed will be the qualifying bet. You need to make sure that you have placed the bet on the day of the race, bearing in mind that the offer won’t come into play if the race finishes as a dead heat. Instead, you will need to have selected the horse that comes in second on its own merit to the favourite for the race.
It is important to realise that the promotion being triggered will render any other specials that you’re looking to take advantage of null and void. In other words, you can’t use it in combination with any other promotion offered by QuinnBet, which includes welcome offers and free bets gained at some other time. As you would imagine, QuinnBet aren’t willing to offer this promotion to any accounts that are suspected of foul play, reserving the right to close accounts and forfeit winnings at the company’s discretion. That includes if it suspects you of running multiple accounts, for example.
Using Any Free Bets
Imagine a scenario in which you’ve placed a bet on a greyhound with odds of 5/1, betting £10. Your selected greyhound comes second to the favourite, which was rated at odds of 5/2. Instead of losing the £10, as you might imagine to, the fact that you placed your bet on a qualifying race means that you get your £10 stake back as a free bet, but you will no doubt want to know how it works. The free bet will be credited to your account by 12pm the day after the race, at the latest. At that point, you can then use it on any sporting even that is covered in the sports section.
The selection that you wish to use the free bet on has to have minimum odds of 1/4, with maximum odds of 500/1 being in play too. Once you’ve received your free bet, you need to remember not to use it on the same promotion, given that that will mean that your bet won’t qualify for the offer. You have seven days to make use of it, else it will expire and you won’t be able to use it on anything. The positive news for those of you that like to login to your QuinnBet account using numerous different devices is that it is in place regardless of whether you use the mobile app, desktop or the internet browser on your phone.
