I love losing too! I was hoping that it wasn't going to be a draw and hooray, it wasn't, so I can start a new offer tomorrow now my balance at the exchange has seen a dramatic rise.

SunshineDeLaSoul · 05/05/2017 22:05

I'm still going through the opening offers but am doing ok.

I need a good way of keeping track of everything though. It's too hard to remember where it all is!

FiveHoursSleep · 05/05/2017 22:08

I want to know how people keep records of where everything is too!

Verticalvenetianblinds · 05/05/2017 22:11

I just leave the tabs open on my qualifier and free bets. When they settle I transfer the money back to my bank account and close the tab. I dis find £10 in my grovesnor account tho which was nice! Totally forgot about it :) had a nice £45 win on slots tonight, little bit addicted to starburst now tho Blush

FayKnights · 05/05/2017 22:12

I've got a simple spreadsheet I keep updated, I tried the OddsMonkey one, but it didn't suit.
I've managed to make a cock up on the West Ham v Tott match and put too much on my exchange bet. I've only lost £1, but really irritated that I've wasted a free bet Angry

SierraJensen · 05/05/2017 22:15

I'm using the teamprofit spreadsheet which is working well at the moment.

NeegansWife · 05/05/2017 22:22

I've just passed the £200 profit mark and have some reloads from WH and free bets from Paddypower for tomorrow. I'm particularly proud of my spread sheet, it's colour-coded, tis a thing of beauty .

TheSleeperandTheSpindle · 05/05/2017 22:26

I need a spreadsheet but I'm terrible at making that type of thing and haven't had chance to try out the OM one, would anyone mind sharing the type of thing they use?

At the moment I'm jotting it all down in my notes on my phone, it reads like the ramblings of a mad person Blush

Spookle · 05/05/2017 22:38

Gah, £200+ in the bookies. Most of my earnings so far.

I've been writing them all down but could do with using a spreadsheet to make better overall sense

louisejxxx · 05/05/2017 22:45

Lucky you Vertical - you must have been counteracting my extreme rubbishness on Starburst Grin because my free £5 that I had amounted to a big fat nothing.

I also like Starburst a bit too much me thinks...had to promise myself that I'd stay away from it unless there's free spins/money!

GardeningWithDynamite · 05/05/2017 23:04

I'm doing a casino offer that I have to wager my winnings x 30. Anybody know how to tell how far I am through the wagering requirements? (I had a £20 bonus that turned into £11 ish winnings so I think I have to do 30 x 11 worth of wagering in total)

neonrainbow · 05/05/2017 23:13

I also use the teamprofit spreadsheet. Ive added a couple of tabs to it.

FiveHoursSleep · 05/05/2017 23:37

I won £36 on Starburst with free spins from Betfair today. I stopped and withdrew the £30 quick smart.

titchy · 06/05/2017 00:34

My simplest spreadsheet list my back bets and how much I layed on them, but that's just to keep track of when I need to check the bookies and withdraw if necessary.

Then spreadsheet 2 has 4 columns - money deposited at bookies and exchange, balance, balance withdrawable and balance withdrawn.

Profit equals balance withdrawn plus balance withdrawable minus amount deposited. I don't count actual balance as profit unless I can actually withdraw it.

All the bookies and exchanges I've put money in so far accurately state how much I have in them. One day a week I have no bets outstanding so I can work out exactly where I am.

Place marking.

I use the OM spreadsheet for basic totals.
I like how the long term total is on front page, and then you have tabs for individual months. Also one for keeping log of Accounts you've opened, contact support for each company.

I created my own tab on which I list all the details. So if it's a free bet, deposits paid, liability, when the event takes place, where the bet won, (if exchange then it gets noted and left in exchange, if bookies then I'll write balance ta bookies, the withdrawl request date, and then date mi eye is in bank. I then bold the whole lot so that I can see which bookies still have cash in, or any withdrawals I need to check/chase up.

Sounds complicated but it's really not.

I love Green Lantern slot,nits the one I used with William Hill, starburst is fun too but Green Lantern has been biggest payout for me so far. Just wish the William hill freebie wasn't capped at £25 the other day as I was above it after wagering.

@garden which casino? I know on coral, clicking your balance brings up summary of wagering requirment and amount left to wager, I think PP Shiws progress if you click on the offer tab, I think.

Also are you sure it's the winnings you have to wager x30 and not the bonus amount? most offers its the amount of bonus X whatever that's wagered and any winnings left after that are yours. Just thought I'd mention in case you've misread, but £11x30 is much quicker that £30x30 so hope it's correct :)

louisejxxx · 06/05/2017 06:00

I agree with pp - I think it's the original amount you start with that you have to wager.

louisejxxx · 06/05/2017 06:22

Had an email for a free £5 from coral to spend in the casino (or use on slots like I did) and managed to turn it into a tenner 😊 The wagering requirements were quite small compared to other sites (only x5)

I use the Ultimatcher spreadsheet which nicely keeps track of things.

How are people winning money on slots? I keep turning free spins into nothing! Is there a knack to it?

neonrainbow · 06/05/2017 08:03

From what I've read on accas you need a pretty big pot to make it work. Is that the case? As my float is less than £100 at the moment. If so not sure what to do with my free acca.

GinGeum · 06/05/2017 08:11

Hello! Can I jump in? I've been reading through the other threads and I think I'm getting my head around it. I've so far used a Coral and a William Hill free bet, but I seem to be spending a lot of money and not seeing any back! I'm hoping it's just because most of the things I've bet on so far haven't happened yet.

What does the cash out thing on Betfair mean? The matches are happening this evening or tomorrow, so why is it giving me the option to cash out now?

Mrscog · 06/05/2017 08:32

Hi everyone - I'm up £41 so far! Going very slowly but busy with life at the same time!

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 06/05/2017 08:35

This thread reads like astroturfing, just like all those rapturous vaping threads that pop up from time to time, no doubt staffed by tobacco industry stooges. I bet half of you are paid by the gambling industry. I am not sure why MN allows it.
