I've started this the absence of anyone else starting a thread on the subject and since the Chat thread will disappear in a month. Hope you think it's in the right place.

I'm still dithering which is annoying me. I've made a new e-mail - hope to get bank account this week. I keep looking at the different websites like Bonus Bagging and Profit Accumulator etc and can't decide between them. Put off by what Tawny said about Profit Maximiser and don't trust myself to do it without help so going for Bonus Bagging, i think.

My husband uses profit accumulater has made about £2500 in about 2 months. He started with about £500. Great way to make extra money, I on the other hand dont quite understand it all!

Diamogs · 25/04/2016 18:57

Wow that is some return

Grinnypig · 26/04/2016 07:31

Diamogs, you can make a deposit to take you over the minimum and then just withdraw straight away.

Diamogs · 26/04/2016 09:55

Thanks Grinny, I'm trying not to do anything to make me look like a matched better, so I did another bet with the small amount which won so I withdrew the winnings and only lost 13p.

joyfulworld · 26/04/2016 10:01

Yep Diamogs, that'll help :) Accumulator bets are very muggy. You can bet like £1 or something.

Bet365 are giving away £50 inplay bet tonight on the Man City, Real Madrid game. £35 profit for us :D

monkeyfacegrace · 26/04/2016 16:12

Hows everyone getting on? I might just pass the £8k mark soon. I think thats been over almost a year now? Not as high as I hoped, but free money! And I haven't been gubbed from a single bookie yet (touch wood)

Bree85 · 27/04/2016 09:04

I won £220 on 10 free spins on the weekend, so I'm a very happy bunny! :D

Also did Bet365's offer last night for £32 profit. Good week so far

monkeyfacegrace · 27/04/2016 10:09

Have you got to roll that £220 over though bree?

Bree85 · 27/04/2016 10:45

No, no rollover luckily. Guts casino had it, I found the offer through #freebetchallenge

Diamogs · 27/04/2016 10:45

Sorry monkeyfacegrace - thicko question, what does roll that over mean? I'm guessing play the sum again to be able to withdraw but not sure?

Bree85 · 27/04/2016 11:50

Diamogs, most slots spins have rollover requirements. Meaning that you need to bet with your winnings to be able to withdraw. For example 50 x WR on winnings. Would mean that I would have to wager 50 x £220 (£11,000) to be able to withdraw my winnings. So you end up losing it before you can withdraw alot of the time if this is needed.

Diamogs · 27/04/2016 12:11

Shock Bree - it's easy to see how people can get sucked in if they have that personality type.

monkeyfacegrace · 27/04/2016 13:05

diamogs but we play with free bets. So we can set our laptops to roll over automatically, using free funds. So I usually walk away and come back later to see what's happened. A lot of the time I bust out, but sometimes I'm up. Eg, once I won £2.50 on a free bet with a 10 x roll over requirement. So I had to bet £25 in total to be able to withdraw. Next £1 spin I won £70. So my 'pot' was £71.50, with another £24 needed to bet before I could withdraw. So then I did another 24× £1 spins and cashed out what was left (think it was about £75 at that point).

It does make sense the more you do it! As long as you never ever ever play with your own money then you will be fine. Just never be tempted to add your own money to chase your losses! (Which aren't actually losses as you never had the money in the first place iyswim)

Bree85 · 27/04/2016 15:59

Yep, Agreed ^^ :D

CremeBrulee · 27/04/2016 17:39

I did MB last year and made just over £2500 in three and a bit months. Having done most of the usual bookies opening offers, I started to find it was too time consuming, needing a lot of of rollovers for too little gain. I was gubbed a couple of times too.

I didn't do any of the bingo or casino offers at the time. Wondering whether to give them a go but not sure. Can anyone convince me?

joyfulworld · 29/04/2016 09:28

I'd say the casino and bingo offers are worth just as much as the bookie bonuses.

If you haven't at least done the sign up offers, you could do those and see how you feel about it? Some people love it, some don't I guess!

PiazzaDelPoppolo · 29/04/2016 11:32

I must be pretty unlucky as so far I've only made £10 on bingo offers and I've worked my way through most of the ones listed on the PA website

Yep, I see oddsmonkey rates quite highly on www.comparematchedbetting.co.uk . Not quite top, but up there!

My3andme · 04/05/2016 16:21

My husband is going to have a look at it tonight. He is a regular bet man anyway but he said would I be interested I trying it. Was wondering tho do you have to do it on a computer or is it easy enough on an iPad??

phillipa1980 · 04/05/2016 16:38

you can do it on an ipad but I'd say you would be better on the computer when you are first starting out. I still prefer the computer now but I do use my ipad now and then.

My3andme · 04/05/2016 17:20

Thank you Phillipa. We only have one laptop and DH takes it away during the week with him. So I could always start on the iPad and then switch over on the weekends to laptop.

phillipa1980 · 05/05/2016 21:37

no problem Mymeand3. Let me know how you get on :)

phillipa1980 · 08/05/2016 19:47

how's it going My3andme? You made some money yet? Been a good day for me! Aguero scoring first in the football meant I made £50 from that one game! Never knew football could be so interesting LOL

My3andme · 09/05/2016 09:30

I have not even had chance to look at the web page yet, we were away this weekend. I'll be having a proper look tonight once the kids are in bed. Smile
