The Champions League gives bookmakers a second big night of football each week during the league phase and knockouts. Expect boosted prices on the headline matches, acca offers across the night and bet builder promotions. Here’s how Champions League betting offers work and which suit a free bet.

Types of Champions League betting offers
Price boosts. A bookmaker increases the odds on a selection, usually in the biggest match of the night. Compare the boosted price with other bookmakers’ normal price, and check the maximum stake.
Acca boosts and insurance. With nine matches on a busy night, accas are popular. A boost increases winnings on qualifying accas, and insurance refunds one losing leg as a free bet. See acca insurance explained.
Bet builder offers. Some bookmakers add a boost or a free bet to Champions League bet builders. Read bet builders explained first.
Which markets suit a free bet?
Because a free bet’s stake isn’t returned, it’s worth more on bigger prices. Draws in evenly matched games, correct scores and anytime goalscorers in mid-table sides all give a free bet more room. Avoid using it on short-priced favourites, where most of the value disappears.
