What a line-up for sports betting fans this weekend. The choice is fantastic with the rugby world cup betting taking centre stage, beginning today but with England playing their first match tomorrow against the USA.

The series-deciding One Day International cricket match between England and India begins at 10 in the morning - see Sky TV - and we have a number of Euro 2008 qualifiers to look forward to which include all the home nations.

It’s weekends like this that make you want to check out your free bets deals though Free Betting Online and get your account ready, particularly if your a live betting fan. Many of the major bookmakers will offer live betting, or “In running” betting” so that you can bet on the outcome of a match while it’s happening.

With events like the rugby world cup, some bookies change their free bets offers for the duration, as we blogged about last week, Victor Chandler have upped their conventional £50 free bet to a huge £100 offer.

Also, get looking around for money-back specials - Paddy Power are particularly good for these in nearly all their sports betting areas. They are doing a “FAstest Goal This Weekend” special by time elapsed so get going with your search for the best free bet.
