Beware of Grand National Free Bets

April 8, 2011 - PRLog -- With the big race almost upon us, punters up and down the country will be busy scrutinising the racecards, weighing up the form book and, if all else fails, drawing names out of a hat.

Yes, the Grand National is upon us once again and it is a time when many people who don't normally place bets get swept up in the hype and open an account with an online bookmaker.

Many of these bookmakers offer free bets as an enticement to open an account with them but people should be aware that it is extremely common for bookmakers to withdraw their free bet offer on the day of the Grand National.

Unfortunately, not all website owners will update their websites to reflect this. Some websites have been abandoned by their owners, some owners will just be too lazy to update them (the sites need re-updating the day after) and some owners are just dishonest and will leave what is effectively misleading advertising on their sites.

This can obviously lead to disappointment for the person opening the account as they find that the promised free bet is not forthcoming.

So, how do you know if the bookmaker that you're opening an account with has not withdrawn their free bet offer?

The answer is to check with a site that can be trusted to be updated to reflect any changes that the bookmakers will be making and will not attempt to mislead you with outdated advertising.

One such site which has been providing punters with comprehensive and updated details of free bets for over four years now is http://www.freebetinfo.com.

There are hundreds of pounds worth of free bets to be had on the Grand National - if you know where to look. Visit http://www.freebetinfo.com now to grab your share.
