Bet On Your Picks with SkyBet

As the ITV7 competition is linked with the SkyBet service, SkyBet is only too happy to let you know how much your selections would return, should you have a bet on them. Because of the fact, that seven horses are involved, betting just £1 usually brings back a return well into the thousands. You can tap login and place your bets directly or alternatively load them into the Sky Bet app where you can tweak them and use multiple bet options. 

However, we play this competition regularly and have got nowhere near picking seven winners. The closest we have come is five winners and none placed. if we had placed £1 on our selections each time we entered, we would be hundreds of pounds down.

Therefore, we keep away from betting on our selections and keep this game a free attempt to win the £50,000 jackpot. It’s nice to see the odds so we don’t mind them being there, but for us, the potential stake here would be better spent on a bet with fewer selections.

Summary

We enjoy frequently playing the ITV7 competition, despite the fact we have never won a penny from it. However, you have to be in it to win it and for us, it adds a little more entertainment to race days and as long as you just stick to the competition, your entry will be free of charge.
