FreeBetting.co.uk on TV

Caz · 15-12-2011, 02:28:15 AM

I've just saw again on the news the story about the dodgy jockeys, and at the winning post they have shown all day, there is a huge advert for a web site called freebetting.co.uk

Typical blog/affiliate site and wordpress to boot.

Just thought I would mention it as its a good domain advertised in the right place.

Well done those people I say.

@ caz, I've not watched any tv, what item on the news concerning which jockeys are you referring to?

Caz · 15-12-2011, 03:45:17 AM

It has been on sky news, 1 jockey banned for 12 years I think, a lady for 2 years and someone called quinn for 6 months.

Betting scams and holding horses back it said.

The freebetting was at the winning post of one of the races, looked really good, I only checked it out as it seemed in a great position for a domain that sounded unusual lol

Ahh, we don't have Sky here and hadn't seen any tv so was unaware of it, just had a look on the Sporting Life site and the story is there: http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/n...p.html&BID=464

Got you now about freebetting, need to look in to how much that costs, wont be cheap

Caz · 15-12-2011, 03:57:00 AM

Thats what caught my eye, I thought wow that must have cost a fortune, and couldnt not work out how free betting would work.

As i said earlier, good to see a site similar to lots of ones I have seen on here doing so well.

Think I will have to stick to a banner at the schools egg and spoon race with my budget lol

They advertise at a fair few courses. I've seen their winning post ad countless times. I can only think that they must get so many people signing up that it makes it worthwhile? That's the benefit of having a memorable name I guess. That's partly why I bought outsider .co.uk .

freebets / co / uk used to advertise all over the place 4-5 years ago, at Cheltenham / Grand National at the courses on huge screens etc it's not that new tbh but I still think it's a great way to market.

FreeBetting.co.uk have been advertising on course for a good couple of years now. Ideal domain to do it with, really. Race course advertising, sponsoring races (which freebetting.co.uk do a lot of - http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...0l0l0l0l0ll0l0) and such, isn't as expensive as you'd probably imagine. Carlise Racecourse, for example, quoted me �1,000 for a 32ft x 4ft hoarding in the home straight for 12 months.

More often than not it'll be rolled into an overall package which includes hospitality etc at a meeting or two.

Just had a quick look around for rates and was surprised at how cheap it actually is.
