Simply place a pre-match bet on any market up to £50, and receive a free in play bet to the same value as the pre match bet.
For those asking before, you have to weigh in with a double stake as Bet365 will not have the resources and time to credit everyone with a bet in time. For instance, if you place a £50 pre-match bet, ensure you have £100 in the account, as the in play bet if it loses will be refunded as real money at the end.
There is a rule about market manipulation, and i know that many have attempted the same bet half a dozen times without any questioning.
