I can't find that offer miss, and I'm sure I haven't had an account for 30 days yet...

MissFitton · 17/05/2017 22:19

It's on the promo's for the sportsbook, at least on my laptop!

It's rather annoying as although it says I need to register with a specific code, I didn't when I signed up but I appear to have opted in for the offer automatically. Hmm However, as I haven't checked out the sportsbook up until now I've missed it.

I might see what happens if I go along with it and make sure my QL is really low just in case!

MissFitton · 17/05/2017 22:28

Gave it a go and my free bet has been credited! Excellent

MrsWombat · 17/05/2017 22:46

HeyRoly I've got lots of stuff going on IRL so I've stopped the new account offers for the moment, but I've been doing the skybet club and coral club which get me £3 each. (Not doing the instore coral bet!) which covers the PA fees plus a bit extra. (Also been doing any easy free bets which come along obviously) Definitely worth doing for the amount of time it takes. £3 for 10 minutes max of work is £18 an hour. Skybet often does boost offers which reduces the loss as well.

louisejxxx · 18/05/2017 06:25

I can't find the betfair sports book offer either and I'm sure I've only been registered for about 30 days ☹️

louisejxxx · 18/05/2017 06:50

Started the day with a little arb which should make me about £1.20....and will also get some money over into the bookies so I can transfer it out. The exchange Ian not my friend at the minute - apparently I haven't transferred enough money into my credit card (which is what I used for my opening £50) transfer. So I need to make more deposits with my debit card before I can withdraw to it again (or withdraw to my credit card which is just a pain in the arse)

Morning all - just a quick shout out for Team Profit - if you are new to matched betting they have a lot of tutorials, advice and a private Facebook group all for free - they also have a useful calculator and downloadable trackers too.
Even they recommend joining Oddsmonkey once you've done the easier welcome offers.

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/05/2017 17:31

My free bet from betfred came through, I'm going to use the profit to join oddsmonkey.

HollySykes · 18/05/2017 19:06

Afternoon all. Slow day for me today I've got a couple of mug bets on the spurs v Leicester match tonight but nothing that'll make any profit. I'm contemplating the Coral bet club but it's very annoying that one of the free bets is in store only.

Also I meant to say that as the proud owner of a retired greyhound I won't be touching greyhound racing.

I've just completed my first Ladbrokes in play offer. Bet on one specific match get a free in play bet on another specific match, and managed to make slightly over the predicted £4 so very happy with that!

OverthinkingSpartacus · 18/05/2017 21:30

Good day for me today. The free £10 live casino bonus I received from betfair has made me £70 profit. That and the free bet from Ladbrokes and a casino offers has adds up to £100 profit for today.

@louise
I use the odds matcher on odds monkey and place the odd fiver or tenner on horses where the lay odds are lower than the back odds. But I stick to where the odds are five ish as when the odds are in the 20s and 30s the liabilities are in the hundreds just for a pound or two.

If a £10 back gets me a quid or so, then people making 50 quid must be staking loads and liabilities in the thousands. I dint think I could take the stress. I'm happy sticking to a quid here and there to gain confidence and if I fuck it up or the odds change loads before I get my lay on, I would be losing hundreds of pounds.

I'm also gonna start doing the second place offers now I'm a bit more confident and after my 1-2-1 I know what I'm doing. I'm going to do a couple of accumulators ( which I've also learnt how to do one my 1-2-1 )at the weekend before the season finishes and then switch to horses and rugby.

@heyroly. Yeah, I opt in to sky bet club thinking If im doing a racing or football offer with them then I may as well, but if I'm not doing an offer I'll only place qualifying bets if the qualifying loss is really low. I can usually make £4 profit from the free £5 bet which isn't loads but over time it adds to a decent amount. I won't try to qualify if odds are not close though.

I got the Betfair Sportsbook offer when I signed up but didn't bother taking it as at that time I didn't enough spare cash to deposit into another exchange, I wasn't risking backing and laying with the same company and figured if I only ever use the exchange and not the sportsbook as well then I'll not get muddled and fuck up somewhere :)

OverthinkingSpartacus · 18/05/2017 21:31

The free bet you get from Ladbrokes can actually be used before the match starts even though it says inplay. I placed mine at 10 am this morning.

OverthinkingSpartacus · 18/05/2017 22:13

Today just got even better, just finished the pink casino free no deposit £10 offer and made another £40 profit. I thought they'd prevent me from withdrawing as I've not deposited anything ever and was expecting to be told you can't withdraw money without at least spending a bit of my own with them first but nope, transaction has been successful :)

GrimDamnFanjo · 18/05/2017 23:36

First stuff up today when I placed a qualifier at the very last minute and then couldn't lay it. Stil, that's a lesson learned.

SierraJensen · 19/05/2017 07:31

I'm back from holiday and getting back into things. Started off with bet victor, did well with the regular free sports bet and the inplay bet (although that was a wee bit stressful as I was stupid - well, impatient- enough to do it in an area with a rubbish internet connection but it was fine in the end!) Didn't make anything on their 10 pound casino offer - was following the blackjack strategy and the wagering requirements were very high. Anyone had any luck on blackjack? Other than the betfair casino promotion where I made 30 pounds, I've not done well on any casino offers.

For the 10 pounds acca bet, I couldn't find any that I could lay sequentially so ended up just putting it on games which run at the same time and don't think I'll bother laying. I figured it does look muggish whereas the ones I found on the acca matcher that I could have laid sequentially included teams that DH said would not be well known.

SierraJensen · 19/05/2017 07:32

Wow overthinking! That was a really great day!

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 07:44

I've just started pink casino this morning after seeing you had some luck with it spartacus - how long did the x99 wagering take you?

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/05/2017 08:47

Can you check what I've done here please?.

Which pink casino games are you playing?.

SierraJensen · 19/05/2017 09:16

Just tried pink casino and lost the tenner rather quickly. Tried mainly starburst. Hope the rest of you have better luck!

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 09:35

I lost it quickly too. How you can wager a tenner to the tune of £990 and still have money left at the end I'll never know Shock

I'm a bit fed up with week. With mug bets and no reloads I've lost more money than I've won. And I laid three horses yesterday at the last minute, to make tiny arbs, only to have all three win, so part of me was wondering what if I hadn't laid them. Sigh.

And Ladbrokes didn't give me my free bet because the minimum odds were 1/2 and my qualifier was 1.28. But I thought 1/2 = 0.5 Hmm

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/05/2017 09:35

I didn't win anything either. Never mind.

Have I done my free bet right?.

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 09:35

I've been playing Wish Upon a Jackpot...onto wagering now but don't know how long I'll last.

Fluffy what you've done looks correct to me.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/05/2017 09:39

Oh good, thank you.

I thought it was but one wrong click could mean a loss.

Ooh I earned £23 while still in my dressing gown.

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 09:42

As long as the numbers are all the same as what is on the oddsmonkey calculator then you're all good.

Out of luck with pink casino - the game stopped working and when I went back on it I forgot to change the darn stake back from £1 to 20p! Angry
