Matched betting continued...free money for all!

[monkeyfacegrace]

As the last thread is almost full, here is a nice fresh clean one.

In a nutshell, matched betting is a clever way of making ££££ from the bookies without ever having to gamble.

And enjoy the money

Some tips I read which I didn't follow and wish I did now are:

Don't rush through sign up offers, spread them out over time rather than condensing in the first couple of weeks. The sign up offers will always be there and there's no advantage to rushing through them, leaving it a little while between one sign up offer and the next to concentrate on getting a regular punter profile with the bigger and better bookies by making mug bets for a while is a good idea. You'll get more reload offers if they think you are a regular better and reload offers are where the long term money is made.

Also, don't withdraw winnings immediately, try leave them in bookies as a regular gambler wouldn't withdraw straight away, again, appearing as a regular gambler is benefit for the reload offers.

To make tracking you money easier, deposit into exchange in one lumps sum, rather than per bet, it's keeps your bank statement tidy and is less confusing that dozens of smaller transactions.

I rushed through my sign ups, which meant I couldn't do mug bets as needed every spare penny in the exchange to do signup offers. Kicking myself now. I started on 23rd with £60 in betfair and £40 for deposits, and am now £140 in profit which I'm very happy with but kind wish I'd taken my time on sign ups, and didn't withdraw immediately. I'd still get that £140 profit but would have a better profile with bookies. I've got about 6 more sign up offers to do now and all of the risk free offers still to do but I'm going to concentrate on making my profile with paddy power and William hill look like a normal gambler.

Had a reload offer from William hill today so have £20 free bets :)

Just some general tips.

Keep a log of everything, bets, liabilities, where bet won, withdrawals etc. Esp if your doing several sign ups at once, there'll be several bets per day and it's easy to lose track of which ones were QB and FB and where the money ends up.

if you've taken more than a min to enter lay stake in bet fair, refresh before placing bet as odds often change and you wouldn't realise until you'd confirmed.

Anyone had a any issues with StanJames. Not sure if I have been 'gubbed'

Placed my trigger bet which lost and my free bet which lost. Had a little left in the account as I credited more than required. Just gone onto the site and my balance is nil. It shows as 'Locked Account' and money debited.
Earlier today I was locked out of the account and required to verify ID after which all appeared ok and I used my free bets. Not received an email from them since they verified and agreed ID (which was an hour after they 'debited' my account).

Will they know if I click straight through to the bet

I think the oddsmonkey links are safe

The Oddsmonkey links are safe insofar as the bookie can't see that you clicked through from Oddsmonkey. They can however see what page you entered their site on, and IMO it is fairly dodgy looking to enter a site directly like that. I maybe paranoid but I never use the direct links, but navigate to the bets through the bookies website.

Does anyone know which bookies are best for reload offers?

neon I read somewhere (team profit, I think) that William Hill are, and that it helps to deposit around £30when you join.

I think maybe I have been ploughing through the sign ups this past week. Think I'll definitely have to slow down this week and hope for some reload offers.

Looking at the Oddsmonkey forum, gubbing seems to happen very quickly and easily. Hard to say whether the majority of gubbed members tried to look legit, or sucked as much money out of the system as possible, though.

As for iesnare/mpsnare, I've been using my phone and have no idea how to look for stuff like that. Any ideas?

Thank you ill keep them happy then. I've been trying to take my time over the reload ie don't use all my 3x £10 free bets on one go on the same match. It makes things slower but if i was betting for real id spread them out on different games.

If you do get gubbed can you ever get back on again? Are we talking lifetime ban?! Just wondering! I have basically done all the wrong things in terms of looking suspicious so need to think how to start getting reload offers and keeping my accounts looking "real"...

Has anyone done the Ladbrooks £50 one yet? I did my qualifying bet yesterday and nothing is showing for my free bet, in the bonus section it shows that I've activated the £50 bonus, but it's nowhere in my balance.

Also which is the best spreadsheet for keeping track of everything?

Not done Ladbrokes - need to build exchange balance. I want to max a £50 free bet.

I use Ultimatcher. Takes ten mins to learn but is excellent.

I'm in the same boat with the Ladbroke £50 free bet, but in the small print it says can take up to 24hrs so I'll wait til tonight I think

That's a good tip about doing the sign ups slowly and building a profile.

The mini millionaires video about gubbing from You Tube has some good tips too.

I think I'm going to try and concentrate on a few big ones, William Hill, Paddy Power Betfred Coral & Ladbrokes to start off with.

I'm not going for weird events, sticking to prem football and not doing the free bets at very high perfectly matched odds.

Not sure if that will work but it's all I have time to do!

I did some small bets with the free £20 and ended up with £7.42 profit- do I keep going with that now? I'm not sure if I understand correctly.

I've just laid mug bets on Liverpool for all 6 bookies I've signed up with - I figure it's easier to keep track if I do all my mug bets together. Going to be down about £3.50 but I figure it's worth it if it leads to some reloads next week.

Oscillationss now you can either use that money to mug bet to look like a real punter or move on to the next free offer.

Have you signed up to oddsmonkey or profit accumulator? I've signed up to oddsmonkey and it explains everything step by step

I've done as maid suggested and picked a team so im now a leicester supporter and laid a mug bet with william hill. Also done my first horse race. I went through topcashback to sign up to the sun bets and the cashback has already hit my account 2hrs later. Im approx £60 up in cashback alone.

I use the teamprofit spreadsheet because its compatible with Google sheets.

Am I laying my mug bet?

I am on oddsmonkey- just signed up to the paid version so will carry on there.

Oscillations are you sure you did £20 free bet? You should get around 75-80% profit from your free bet so if done with odds of 5 or so you should have got about £13-14? But if you only laid £10 then your profit sounds about right. Maybe go back through your bets to make sure you have done it right before you do any more.

I'm around £45 up in 5 days but, like others, I've been taking things really slowly. Just sticking with football for now but I have done a couple of the casino offers. Anything to do with slots and I will really need to discipline myself! I've also managed to really confuse myself with having money all over the place so hopefully I can sit down tonight and sort it all out - another reason for using a separate bank account to do this!

I've been using the Team Profit start up spreadsheet which is really straightforward however what do people use after that?
I've done 99% of this on my phone so far as my laptop crashes.
Any recommended spreadsheets for simpletons?

I've also been doing my free bets at a similar stake to my QB bets. I've been doing 3.0 or 4.0 for all of them.

I read that always betting low odds of 1.5 or whatever the minimum for the free bets, and then always going for five or above with free bets makes you stand out as a matched better? So it's better to stick to similar odds for all bets.

Tbh, when comparing odds of 5 to odds of 4ish it's only a pound or two less profit than going for odds of five or above, the liabilities are lower so if a bookie was to suspend me and not honour winnings then there's a lot less to lose if they kept any balance in the account and if it makes me look more genuine and keeps offers coming long term then I'm happy with that.

Been looking at the totals for April on the community on OddsMonkey and am envious of people posting they've made 3k plus....

I took up the coral buy in with £10 and get £50 to play with offer and as blackjack counts 100 percent towards wagering on there, I've been pottering through wagering using the blackjack strategy on OM and have balance at £70, it's been up to £100 but seems to stay at about £70/£80 using the strategy. It's very weird to stand on hands of 12 but it's working so far. After an hour or so a day playing I'm half way through wagering so should be done with that by end of week.

I'm also doing similar on William hill.

Have 30 days to complete wagering on both sites so plenty of time.

I'm still pottering along. Had a little rest when I had to withdraw everything to cover my overdraft, but just been paid so invested another £200, hoping to double that again this month. If I can tick along at that I'll be happy. I think some of the £1000 a month threads are near impossible for me, I don't understand the riskier ones or the casinos!

I've done all the easy sign ups - just got some of the big ones to do now. I've got the money but placing 100 pound bets scares me silly - especially with the liability you need

I've broken all the rules regarding looking normal. My bets were on the most random football team and I've been accessing the sites through the clicks links.

and what's a mug bet?
