They don’t call Betfred “the Bonus king” for nothing. Since joining Betfred Casino myself I’ve been inundated with bonus after bonus – literally, it’s hard for me to make a deposit and play without making money from the very lucrative bonuses Betfred offer. It’s definitely becoming one of my favourite casino and sportsbook chains!

And now Betfred are offering all sportsbook customers and cycling fans the chance of a lifetime if you have a bet on this year’s Tour de France.

The world’s greatest cycling race starts on Saturday 3rd July in Rotterdam with the formidable defending champion Alberto Contador the 1/2 favourite to make it a hat-trick of titles. Second in the betting is the powerful Andy Schleck from Luxemburg who always excels in the mountains, while seven times champion Lance Armstrong, now 38 years of age, is third favourite at 9/1. The English challenge is led by Bradley Wiggins who at 20/1 is aiming to be the first ever British competitor to win cycling’s most gruelling race.

The race is run over 3600 kilometres and the Tour de France famously finishes on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday the 25th July. And you could be soaking up the atmosphere at the finish in Grandstand seats on the Champs-Élysées with full hospitality. To qualify for Betfred’s random draw all you have to do is place a bet of £25 or more on one of the Betfred Tour de France markets and you could win two VIP tickets for the final stage plus £500 pounds.

Betfred have a number of special markets on the Tour de France and they will also offer betting in play throughout the race including every stage. Commentary will also be available on the website so you won’t miss any of the action. My advice? Head to Betfred today – and get yourself in with a chance to win these fantastic prizes!
