Don't be sad ... If you want, I can offer you to redeem all your subsequent free bets for half the price, (in the sense that I'll just tell you which matches to spend your free bets on, I think it's not forbidden). As for $ 9, I will not take this gesture as a bribe, as this amount is not enough to enjoy the Rum and visit the Red Light District ...Lol
. Well, I am doing decent betting with real money and somehow got carried away when I use freebets because sometimes I feel like it would be great to win a huge odds betslip with $30 or more stake ( in form of freebets ) but I never really bet on such parlay using my own money, that would be absurd.
Anyway my freebets slip looking good, winning 2/5 currently. I just need Napoli, Roma and Atletico Madrid to win their match and I would get a $1k payout from this slip
Let's call this an investment, but I'll talk about this in more detail a little later. 
It would be cool to invest it in the next poker series. Im pretty sure you would get into top 3 in the Grand Finale for the next one !
