The Ashes: Free Bets & Offers

England won the opening test match of the Ashes series last Sunday by just 14 runs and if you managed to use a free bet offer on this result then you’ll be one happy cricket betting fan!

After such an exciting 1st Ashes test the 2nd test got underway yesterday with England losing three late wickets to end the first day with a pretty average 289-7.

On the back of England’s success in the first test and their indifferent form in the second, you’ll now find online bookies offering some really competitive Ashes free bets, betting odds and offers on England's performance in the 2nd Ashes test.

The best betting odds on England to win the 2nd Ashes test come from 888sport, who are offering them at 2/9 for the win. If you do plan to bet on England make sure you check out the 888sport free bet offer for new customers.

Australia's Ashes Odds

In terms of Australia, Ladbrokes offer the best odds on them winning the second test at 7/1.

Best Odds on the Draw

The best odds on the draw are 8/1 at most bookies with our tip being Bet365 as you'll be able to bet on a players 'runs' market in the Ashes and if your player's out LBW, Bet365 offer to refund losing stakes on the market as a free bet!

England have stuck with the same squad as the first Ashes test and with James Anderson as man of the match who can blame them! Of course there were a few threats in the Australian team – namely Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath who were the heroes of the day and Ashton Agar who played up a storm in his debut game.

Bookies offer some really competitive odds and attractive betting offers on the top English or top Australian batsman betting markets at the moment - especially for punters betting on either Alastair Cook or Michael Clarke who seem to be high on the list.

Another interesting Ashes betting market that bookies offer is 'series correct score' betting which can be a lucrative way of using free bet offers due to the high odds.

Whatever way you choose to use bookies free bets make sure you choose the best offer for your needs and keep and eye out for free Ashes bets in the cricket section on bookies websites.
