    what about the Asian Handicap (0:0) shouldn't be the same as "draw no bet"?

    Not always, some would say that bet is a loss (Asian Handicap 0-0) not a push. A lot of European bookmaker do that.

    Every site is different though so check the rules and remember if it looks too good to be true it probably is. Whats more likely, that you have just found a 25% arb or that you have misread the market rules? I only bet a tiny tiny fraction of my total bets on Asian Hanicaps markets because the potential for my getting it wrong/trouble and effort triple checking all the rules vs the rewards from the bets isn't worth it for me.
    Have a plan and stick to it

    How realistic is the free play option on slots generally? Is it a good indication of what it would be like it real play or is it designed to suck you in?

    I'm looking at the Ladbrokes sign up as I haven't got stuck in yet and had a go on some freebies ...

    £76 bonus round on Avalon, £97 bonus on Osbournes ... then another bonus round on the Osbournes of £668.80

    Nearly fell off my chair

    Hence my question of how realistic it is ...

    What stakes/lines were you playing with on that then? No idea about how realistic or otherwise the free play is...

    Say you bet £2 each way on the horse called Bonkers.

    That bet will cost you £4 because £2 will be placed on Bonkers to win (as a normal win single) and £2 will be placed on Bonkers to 'place'. The 1/5 means they will pay out the place bet at 1/5 the odds you took and the 1-3 means that the place bet will pay out if you horse finished 1,2 or 3.

    So if Bonkers was at 6.0 (5/1) and he came in 1st, you would get back a total of £16, of which £12 would be profit.

    Win single of £2 at 6.0 returns £12 (£10 profit + £2 stake)
    £2 place part also pays out at 1/5 odds, so you get £4 back (£2 profit + £2 stake).

    If Bonkers came 3rd, you get £4 back. Your £2 win part loses, but your £2 place part pays out.

    If Bonkers comes in 4th, you lose.

    I'd expect a reputable software to offers the same game in practice mode and real mode. However, some unreputable softwares, such as Wager21, are known to offer higher payout games in practice mode. You mentioned Microgaming slots. With MG slots, you can verify matching reel data in practice & real mode by looking at the http packet data in the flash casino (using HTTPWatch, HTTP Debugger, etc.) I believe that the big wins some players note in free mode usually relate to using a larger bet size than they would in real mode... and focusing on the big wins with that large bet size, rather than how much free money they lost before the big win.
