Betfred Review
Betfred is a hugely popular bookmaker, especially in the United Kingdom; where it was first founded back in the year of 1967 by the two Done Brothers. The main face behind the brand, out of the pair, is Mr Fred Done or The Bonus King as he has become appropriately known.
Betfred began its days on the UK high street as a retail betting outfit, offering odds for horse racing bets and football, as well as a few other popular markets. The brand subsequently expanded across the UK quite rapidly, and they are now one of the UK’s largest independent bookmakers.
Like many other brands before and after them, Betfred found their way onto the internet, and began offering online punters a fantastic sports betting experience, including a huge array of promotions making them ever more worthy of the “Bonus King” label.
What makes Betfred so great?
Betfred don’t just re-invent the online betting wheel, they have a lot of unique bet types and features that make your betting experience with them a great one, from start to finish.
An initial glance on their sports homepage will show you just how user friendly they are; literally everything you could need is in the one place. On the left hand menu you have the betting highlights, which are basically quick links to popular bets. Beneath that, you can view the huge selection of sports that are available to bet on, from football and racing to golf, baseball and so much more. There are also links to betting news, race cards and results, as well as live commentary for racing, football and other sports.
On the right hand side of the sport page, you have quick links to the next football match that’s about to kick off, or the next race that is just about to begin. Also, on the topic of racing, Betfred has a fantastic interactive race card. Inside you can view course details and full details of runners. When you use this tool, you can try out their racing predictor, which analyses form and estimates the winners and placed horses.
If football betting is your thing, then try the cool football analyser tool. When you open this, a list of upcoming games will be displayed, simply click on the one that interests you. Once you do this, the tool will analyse the teams past performances, and provide you with clear statistics and likely outcomes. This is excellent for any football fan and also very insightful as well, and once you’ve made a decision on who you want to bet on, the analyser has quick links to the betting markets too.
Goals Galore Betting
If you have heard of Betfred, then you should also have heard of Goals Galore betting. Goals galore bets are fun, exciting and in most cases very profitable when done correctly. In fact, we love these bets so much that we even wrote a Goals Galore guide. Basically, you choose three or more football games from a list. Now each of the two teams in each game must score at least one goal. So if you chose four games, then there would be eight teams in total, and all eight teams have to score a goal, when they do its Goals Galore, and you get a nice pay-out. The beauty of this bet is, it can be done with friends and colleagues, and really does have everyone hooked to a game right till the end. Goals galore bets can be placed from as little as £2 and increases from there.
New and improved in-play betting
The in-play betting concept is now vastly popular, and Betfred has just recently created an in-play betting product that is unlike any other. The beauty of this product is how it can be personalised and tailored to suit you. You can choose preferred markets and teams, which means that each time you use it, you can be shown bets of your preferences only, making the experience easier and quicker. If there’s one thing you don’t want to do when making an in play bet; it's waste time, thankfully with this, it helps you place your bets much faster.
The product has a much larger selection of betting markets, a larger number of games to bet on. Also, a whole host of new user friendly features. Furthermore, the product will provide you with details on if your event is being broadcast on television or not, and if it is, what time and what channel. If that wasn’t enough, it also has all scoreboards and statistics as well, such as live scores, statistics on each game (ball possession and substitutions etc.). If you bet in-play at Betfred, you can rest assured that practically everything you need is built into this one product.
Promotions
Well, we’ve saved the best till last, as a title like 'The Bonus King' doesn’t just fall from the sky. Betfred welcomes all new players with a 100% bonus based on their first deposit, up to a maximum of £50. When compared with some offers, this is very straightforward and simple, all you need to do is deposit and bet £50, and receive a free bet up to the value of £50.
Betfred regularly holds other promotions on specific games, they have new ones known as double delight and hat trick heaven, where they will boost your odds on goal score bets if your selection scores a double or a hat trick.
Other reasons to join
Betfred isn’t all about the sports bets; they also have other products as well. There’s the Betfred Casino, Betfred Live Casino, Betfred Poker, Betfred Games and Betfred bingo too.
