Topic: Avoid placing your freebet on Tennis match (Read 299 times)

It was a frustrating experience. Especially when everything seems to be going in your favor. Just for the unexpected, such as players withdrawing to place your bets to be honest. It's great to see a sports magazine giving you free bets again. But it still feels like a missed opportunity. Especially since good tennis numbers are rarely reported!

One thing I learned when betting with free bets Especially in a market like tennis where retirement is possible. is to write down the terms and conditions in advance. Some sports publications may treat breaks differently depending on the sport or activity. Therefore, it is a good idea to know what will happen in those situations. But in the end That's part of the risk. And at least you have another chance with a replacement free bet. I think in this situation Having a backup plan or strategy for your free bets can help too. Keep smiling and hope the next one is a hit!


I completely agree with you. Every sport is different. And betting without truly understanding the game can lead to frustration or loss. Your ping pong example is spot on. Although it may sound misleading to the uninitiated, But people who do their homework and follow sports closely can have a great opportunity to bet using data and actually profit from it.

Like tennis where I just placed a free bet. If I spent more time looking for potential risks, such as player churn, I probably thought about that market over and over. It shows that knowledge about a sport and its strengths plays a huge role in improving gambling. Betting based on guesswork or without proper understanding often leads to consequences like the one I experienced. As you said taking the time to learn a sport can mean the difference between fun and strategy.

Any live sport is unpredictable. There is always risk of something happening. Freebets can be voided even during a soccer match. If one of the players gets injured and need to be taken out, the freebet may not be considered anymore as it tips the whole game. If there’s also violations given to a player or the team, it may change the whole nature of the game therefore your freebet may again not be considered.
Yup that’s still very fortunate. Anyway, if you want a stress free usage of your freebet try reading the terms and conditions of the sportsbook and how they approach matches where something unexpected happens.

Every sport games meant for gambling has its own difficulty. Table tennis games might look way harder than football games to any gambler but to tone who is conversant and familiar with the table tennis games will surely make profit while betting on the games. At first iw will take time and learning on the game before we start winning and that same reprocess implies to other sports betting games. If a gambrel who has no idea on table tennis games tend to bet on the game more often he many never get lucky to win because he simply is relying on guessing.

This also happens in other games but if it's a freebet, I'm not expecting really a lot from it whether I'd win or lose from that.

That's nice though so, there's no need for you to be worried then but just as how it went for your first free bet with that tennis match. Don't expect that it will make you some money on it so, just enjoy and deal with it because there's not a lot to get from these free bets, spins unless they're free balance that has an amount but for sure will give conditions like wagering requirements for the giveaway winner to fulfill.

Free bets do come wit their terms attached of which you should always look out for so you don't feel cheated in situations as this when issues as this arise, usually because its free bet, some casinos would wan to take back the stake from you when you win but in situations as this where they have to make a refund, it will not be applicable because you actually didn't make a real stake so there's nothing to refund so you only have lost the free bet but should always know better about the games you play using free bets so you don't have to suffer things as this, make sure you have quiet good knowledge to influence your  picks.

Nah I understand your point but I don't think you should put up blames to the tennis match for making you unable to get a win probably you need to understand how this certain game works cause it's totally different from the football match we all know and on a lighter note I think you weren't favourable at all, in the aspects of lucks to have gotten that payout you we're expecting but take it that you enjoyed the game cause it's a free bet and you have nothing to loose.

It's unfortunate, even though it's just a freebet of course we hope to be able to make it real money so we can bet again in other matches.
I also lost some freebets in two different casinos about a week ago, and it was all in tennis matches, of course it has nothing to do with the type of sport chosen, it's just bad luck, because in tennis, especially in the WTA tournament, it's quite difficult to predict, but this is a freebet so we don't lose anything, just a feeling of annoyance of course there.

You're probably fine to bet on tennis, but like any sport you need to understand all the nuances and whether one is more likely than another to void a free bet in this way. Similar things could happen with horse racing, where quite often horses get pulled from the race before it even starts, but this also says something about the bookmaker that you are using. I'm pretty sure that bookmakers I've used in the past have returned the free bet if it has been voided in this way, because that is the only fair outcome to this situation. However you have a slightly different situation here, where the event morphed in-game which is different from a change happening in the lead up to the game. I guess maybe Tennis is better to avoid unless you follow it quite intently.

Good thing that your bet was placed with a free bet. If not you would have so much to lose if you have placed the bet with your hard earned money. Its better that you lose a games knowing full well that the game did not play than for unforeseen circumstance to happen on your game. However, what you have lost today has taught a big lesson which you have shared for anyone here. Meanwhile, i still believe that there are other games in the casino that might have similar problem when we gamble so its best we focus on games without these problems. In sports betting there are times some games get suspended when we bet on them but that one is safer than this table tennis game. Because the game will be removed from the bet slip or be postponed to the date.

But the point is, it's an unforeseen event, I mean, if the player doesn't experience any event that makes him stop playing, then the match will run normally and will finish as usual. So, I think it doesn't really matter if we place free bets on tennis but indeed, what you've experienced at least gives us a lesson too of course to keep placing free bets only on matches that are probably safe and will finish as they should. But, I am at least curious as to what sport you eventually chose as a second consideration about getting your free bet back.  I'm sure you chose soccer betting which I think is pretty easy to do because it's  a popular sport too.

Void games are Normal occurrences that can happen in any sports event, this can happen as a result of unfavorable weather conditions,  injured players and other factors that can cause an interruption in the game. It's inaccurate to say that  people should stop placing bets on tennis because of this reason because it can happen in soccer, basketball, volleyball and so on. Winning from free bets are actually very difficult but I think I was lucky with it once, i combined some games on soccer with the double Chance option which accumulated up to 5 odds and I won a decent amount of money.

are you sure it only applies to tennis games? are other games not affected? maybe you have a better reason for the return of free bets in tennis, if it is like that in other sports then it is better to read their TOS first

I must said, It's just shit happens.

I believe, If you betting in normal balance your bets will be voided and the balance are coming back to your account. But since these bets is being made by free-bets, there is no refund. Have you tried to contact casino and explained the situation.

Perhaps, they can give you a good gesture to give back your free-bets. Might be work, but if not (shit happens).

Gambling is a game of luck so it doesn't matter if you place your free bets on a tennis or soccer game, you can get lucky from any of them. I have tried tennis games quite a few times and I must say it's quite difficult to win, perhaps it's because I haven't taken out time to study the game properly. I have had more luck with basketball games more and I didn't do any statistical analysis I just picked randomly. In the aspect of void games, this can also happen in soccer and any other sports, this interrupted games can lead to a refund or a deduction In your win.

I would not count you an an unlucky fellow. You are a lucky person because like you mentioned in the OP voids are refunded only on regular bets but that rule was waived for you with a free bet. That's luck mate.

When you got the free bet again, did you get on Tennis match. I don't think you mentioned this and I am eager to know.

If you say this kind of scenario should be avoided, is it in the control of the player, the one who bets on the game ? Aren't voided settlement just unforseen circumstances that happen?

Okay, but pardon if I may not get it right. What type of tennis game did you play, is it the long tennis or table tennis game? Or are you trying to say that we should not play any of those tennis games at all? However, this same thing happen on many games, and if you are always gambling, this might not probably be your first experience.
I once played a sportbet months back and one of the match was interrupted and the game was undecided for about 2 days, so the bet site had to substrate the game (odd) and pay the rest of them.

Yeah, saying it like that would make what OP wanted to say much clearer. anyway, I mentioned in my previous post why a freebet is not refunded when a bet is voided due to one of the athletes forfeiting but I wonder if it is the same thing when it is due to bookies mistakenly measuring the odds. this might be a stupid question but I rarely bet on sports so I am just curious.

It's more accurate to say avoid to bet on individual player sports that participate in long competition.

However, voided match can also happen in team sports too, it could due to bookies mistakenly measure the odds.

Tennis shouldn't be blamed here even though in your case it was due to Tennis. It's really rare the bookies voided my bets because I only bets on football match.

Oh snap, it was a free bet? I follwed your case in the other thread and replied to it. As stated before, it's the most normal thing for a sportsbook to void a bet if a tennis player retires but obviously if there was a free bet involved that really is double the pain. They should at least grant you a new free bet in my opinion. I mean you got the freebie because you won something, right? So they are giving it out anyway. Replacing it with a new one would be the easiest and most logical way to give you another (fighting) chance. In the end it's up to the site though, you can only hope for their kindness. 

Anyway, good to know. If I ever get a free bet again I will avoid choosing tennis as the game to put it on.

It's freebet though, you lose nothing, but you learn something, and that is even if a game is certain to you there is a chance that you can still lose your money, from now on I expect you to always be prepared when gambling, risk only what you can afford to lose and if you do lose it do not think about getting the money back, accept that it is gone and learn from it.

Gambling feels good only when you are risking what you can afford to lose, it doesn't matter if this is freebet, even if you use your hard-earned cash it could end up the same way, I will like yo know if you are really into tennis for real or you just jump in believing that you will win? It is better to stay one place when gambling or betting, you need to choose a game and take risk on that, if your favourite is tennis then stay in tennis, don't place bet in tennis today and football tomorrow.
