Matched betting

Yeah I can imagine. I will have to get involved with some more accounts. Anyway had a great result off those freebies. Ladbrokes offered poor odds of 4/1 on them to win so had my 100 on to win 400 and cashed out for 180 profit using betfair when Benteke came on. Great result all round.

Beautiful work and timing sir. Happy with the guaranteed 58 but good strategy to let them ride and cash out too. I cant complain as got down for a fiver and in on an over 65 ticket for a fiver, so it more than paid for the day!

Great result Elgin. I had a load of free bets for the weekend and always punt one these days. Done Us, Stoke and City to be a draw to win £1900. Was typical that the ref screws us up and then I check full time result and realise Man U get a 94th min equaliser and Spurs come from 2 down to get a draw. In all honesty I would have probably guarnteed a few hundred after the 3pm games.

Yeah you definitely have different strategies to me for the free bets, Im going to look at that. I still lay everything off. Had a great saturday, betway were offering 2nd to ANYTHING free bets on 3 races, so got 1 up there, WH landed me 82.50 in free bets from their high 5 meetings, and skybet, WH and PP were offering 5 places on the 1515 at Haydock. I picked 3 horses and did 50 quid each way on them, laying off only the win parts. Two of the three came in the top 5. That's about as near to mug betting as i'll get tbh. Would love to be able to still do the daily b365 feature 4+1 horse offer as it's a bloody goldmine but sadly barred from participating in their offers now Highly recommend oddsmonkey though. It's well worth 15 a month out of the profits just for the speed in finding arbs everywhere, plus all the guides and daily offers.

Interesting free to join 1k to 5k challenge ahead of cheltenham. Will be following his selections and laying off the win as it has been proving pretty successful. Will be swapping the extra place for insider knowledge and seeing which method proves more lucrative.

Hope you were on the Athletico vs Leicester bet365 offer too Elgin

Went for 2-0 at half time @ 3.2 and laid off on Smarkets @ 3.6, that was the best match I could find.

Annoyingly not mate, am stake restricted with them after early mb naivety of continually withdrawing winnings back into the bank instead of finding arbs and matched bettIng it away until it transferred itself into my betfair account to withdraw from there instead. Would highly recommend this now. A happy bookie is far less likely to gub you innit. Could have cried when they told me I was stake restricted for their offers.

That's a good point. Don't think I mug bet enough but have been trying to lose at the bookies when their offers are on.

I can't complain too much as i've just bought a car for 11 grand, over half of which came out of the MB account, but if I could rewind it to last June I would definitely have done this with sky bet, paddy, b365 and betfair, as am stake restricted/barred from offers with all these now. Oddsmonkeys oddsmatcher scanner is brilliant at finding arbs/close odds matches for the free/ mug bets or just for transferring money out and in. Well worth the 15 quid a month. Still got £1800 in William Hill that I need to shift, but the buggers win every now and again and it goes back up

Real Madrid did me no favours last night winning at 5.5 at two bookies as I was making some qualifying bets.

It's a weird feeling wanting your bet to lose isn't it.

I think mug betting is a massive myth, I've got mates that have mugged plenty but they've still been restricted on key accounts. The bottom line is, if all you do is constantly take the best odds and partake in every offer at max stakes then you're asking for trouble. I've got a mate that works at the Dogs and he's always said make sure you use gaming/casino products as well as the Sportsbook and this will keep you under the radar. I would much sooner lose a few quid on the casino wagering requirement part of an offer which is also more fun that a football mug bet because you could stumble on a big win.

I disagree mate. No bookie in his right mind is going to gub a punter who regularly gives them £200, and won't care less if they are winning more than that at the exchange as a result. It's only winning punters they want to restrict. Look at the way the smaller bookies structure their new account offers. Do take your point about the casino stuff but I have no interest in that apart from poker possibly.

Absolutely, if you're talking mugs of £200 then that's fine, I assumed you was talking about a £5/£10 weekend accumulator. The 365 offers are great and IMO one of the best regular offers that come from any of the bookies but you have to be careful with them because they do gub quickly. Sky bet are also quick to restrict from what I've read. There's no simple answer, I lost betway 3 weeks ago after doing their £20 pre match bet and get £5 for each goal your team scored. I did it 3 weekends in a row and only got £10 of free bets then they gubbed me. My priority is to hold on to 365 though without a doubt.

Yeah definitely keep them for as long as possible. I wouldn't withdraw a penny from them back into my bank account if I could do it again. Having two accounts on their feature 4+1 races meant that you could usually have the fav and second fav covered in both races, or at least the 2nd fav and 3rd fav. Even if you only done half stakes of 25 quid instead of 50, and say 23 quid lays you still had a huge chance of getting one winner from your 4 chances in the two races. I withdrew far far too much from them last summer. Stupid in hindsight as short of adopting more children over 18 and opening accounts in their names, i'll never be able to fully reap the bet365 benefits again

I like betway and they seem to like me, probably because I give them money. These days I mainly do betway and William Hill for existing offers, and new obscure accounts for satisfying rollover requirements.

I'm going at this properly now. I've bet on Brighton to win at 2.37 but managed to lay them at slightly lower odds of 2.34 on Smarkets. Meaning my 'acceptable loss' is actually +0.22

I'm right in thinking with the well publicised £200 match offer on Bet365 for new sign-up, is not a free bet - they actually match the £200? Right?
