Reasons to join more than one bookie

Our first reason to register at multiple betting apps is the free bets. The more bookies you join, the more free bets you will receive. These can be used to bet on your favourite sports, competitions, teams and markets.

Then there's the access to market best price each time you bet. After deciding on your selection, check a respected betting odds comparison site to find out which sportsbook offers the most generous odds. That’s the bookie you should bet with every time.

You can use the free bets to secure a profit on a match, regardless of the result. Back the home team with one free bet and then the away team with another bookie's free bet. Lastly, cover the draw with your third free bet.

Premier League betting offers: who's worth backing?

Now that you know how to get your free bets, let's look at some markets you can use them on to boost your chances of making a profit. Below, we have selected three games and offer our prediction based on the trends.

Crystal Palace v Fulham is one of three London derby matches played on Boxing Day, with the action at Selhurst Park beginning at 3pm. The neighbours played out a goalless draw last time, and that was the third game in four where at least one team has failed to find the net. Back no from the both teams to score market.

Everton v Wolves is an early relegation battle with both teams stuck at the wrong end of the table. Wolves beat the Toffees home and away last season, including a 1-0 at Goodison Park in March. Take a chance on the visitors +1 on the handicap.

Leicester v Newcastle has all the ingredients of a Christmas cracker, and we're confident this match will live up to the hype. But who wins, the Foxes or the Magpies? The team that enjoyed home advantage was the winner in their two meetings last season, with Leicester securing a 4-0 win at the King Power and Newcastle winning 2-1 at St James's Park.
