This Saturday Betfair are offering you the chance to start a free bet streak by placing a £10 bet on any sport on the Betfair Exchange.
Even if that first bet loses, you will be credited with a £10 free bet to begin your streak. For every winning £10 bet you have for the next seven days on the Befair Exchange, we will credit you with another tenner to keep that streak going.
We have collated some of the best tips from our horse racing tipsters to inspire you to get your streak underway by placing your first qualifying bet this Saturday, but before we get into those, let us take you through how to get involved.
How does Betfair's Free Bet Streak offer work?

- Your Free Bet Streak begins with your first £10 free bet, to use on any Exchange market (minimum odds apply). The way to keep the streak going is to keep on winning.

The Grade 2 Arkle Trial features a fascinating clash between a pair of really promising novices in L'Eau du Sud and Lockaway, with preference for the former.
Dan Skelton's six-year-old created a big impression on his chasing debut at Stratford a couple of weeks ago, coming home 10 lengths clear after putting in a decent round of jumping (bar one blip when he took off too soon at the fourth).
His trainer is on record as saying this is the yard's best novice chase prospect and nothing he did on debut suggested otherwise.
He's not a big price, but I'm ranking L'Eau du Sud as one of the day's best bets.

Kevin Blake: "I'm inclined to hedge my bets and side with one that will be ridden prominently and will be adaptable regardless of how the pace pans out in front of him. That runner is the Henry De Bromhead-trained Lets Go Champ.
"The son of Jeremy is a nine-year-old, but don't let that mislead you as he is very unexposed for a horse of his age. He has only had nine starts on the track in his life with five of them coming over fences. He bumped into some very smart opponents in his first two starts over fences last season, but rather than persevere in maiden chases, his connections decided to go straight into handicap chases. A fine run in a small-field handicap chase at Limerick was followed by an authoritative victory in a valuable handicap chase at the Punchestown Festival in May. Not a bad way to break his maiden over fences! On that occasion he raced prominently and travelled strongly despite his relative inexperience and put the race to bed in good style on the run-in.
"A 9lb rise for that victory was well earned and his connections understandably decided to aim him at the Galway Plate three months later. That is one of the most fiercely-competitive handicap chases of the season and is run around a track that is notoriously tricky. Lets Go Champ was sent off at 10/1 on the day and ran a solid race to finish sixth, beaten just under nine lengths. It is a possibility that the longer trip (he has never won beyond 2m 4f) might not have been ideal for him, but either way he ran a fine race.
"Still unexposed, one can take it for granted that Henry De Bromhead has had this race in mind for him since Galway. De Bromhead has his team in absolutely electric form at present and that can only be taken as a positive. As mentioned earlier, his running style of following up the leaders will allow his rider to adjust to whatever the main potential front runners choose to do and have him in a position to strike regardless of the pace. He looks to be a fair price and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him shorter."

Despite facing a tough task from top-weight, Kings Hill has 5lb claimer Jack G Gilligan aboard slightly easing his burden and can be competitive from a mark of 136.
The five-year-old Irish-raider has shown a decent level of form this year. He won his maiden hurdle at Thurles in February before heading to Cheltenham in deep waters when unable to land a blow in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle then narrowly beaten at Ballinrobe.
At the Punchestown Festival, he was able to finish a respectable fourth to now 149-rated Daddy Long Legs in Listed company, ahead of the likes of Nusret and Party Central.
Recently he has been performing consistently well, finishing third at Killarney before improving for a step up in trip at Galway when second to the in-form The Wallpark, now rated 152 after a victory here last month.
The drop in trip didn't appear to suit Kings Hill when last seen, but a step back up to 2m5f should see him to better effect and at generous odds, he can make the frame for Paul John Gilligan. He has coped with a sounder surface previously, and should enjoy the extra stamina test in the closing stages.
Overlooked in the market, he makes each-way appeal at 16/117.00, and could be good enough to pick up the pieces late on should others disappoint.
