Ah, I found the envelope with the message when I viewed it on the laptop instead of the phone. Thanks for the heads up Louise!

Just seen on Coral that if you bet on Sunday's Liverpool Middlesborough match before kick off then you get a free £5 bet to use in play.

SierraJensen · 19/05/2017 15:46

fluffy is some of it a promotional amount that needs to be wagered first?

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 16:25

I HAVE FOUND MY WH INBOX!

Used an iPad and accessed the mobile site that way.

I didn't have a free bet message 😂

GinGeum · 19/05/2017 16:33

I've just won £4.70 on ladbrokes free spins - not quite the same as £22 but I'll take it! Grin off to check WH now...

GinGeum · 19/05/2017 16:35

Is there a way to do a matched bet with that £4.70? Or is the amount too low?

titchy · 19/05/2017 16:36

Small amounts are fine for a matched bet - same rules - just make sure the odds are really tight!

GinGeum · 19/05/2017 16:40

So when I'm looking at the calculator, would I have it under 'normal' since it's not a free bet?

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 16:52

I've been reluctant to start the Betway offer because I've heard people complaining about it Smile Do you need a substantial kitty in the exchange?

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 16:59

fluffy I'd recommend going on live chat and asking on there.

I was restricted with how much I could withdraw but that was because I had two cards registered and I have to withdraw as much on one as on the other.

OverthinkingSpartacus · 19/05/2017 18:25

I did the link casino wagering over a few evenings with 10/15 mins playing here and there, as you have 30 days to meet the requirements I wasn't fussed about rushing it, it didn't feel like it took that long def less than a week at 15 mins max a day, I played black jack using the black strategy for the bulk of it and played a couple of wish upon a jackpot slots. I didn't realise wagering was so high, I unchecked the first deposit bonus as I knew the wagering on that was high and It's -ev, and they don't recommend it in the guides. I'm wondering if they terms have changed since I signed up the other week? Or I've just gotten incredibly lucky.

The blackjack strat has been great for me, I havent won every offer I've done with it but I don't expect to, the OM guide says the value comes from doing certain offers over time, ive maybe lost £20 over a few offers but I've made over £100 profit on Various offers using BJ so the £20 is returned plus more in profits.

I only do the casino offers if I've met my £50 a week target, so if I've made £60 I'll use the tenner over my target to have a go at an offer, but only after checking it has a +EV and reading a few posts about ways to approach and best play. Some offers are better played on specific slots For eg.

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 18:33

Just had this email come through from bank of bets with a list of good reloads for the weekend. Has another free scratchcard on betfair arcade (ruby walsh) and I've just got £3 off that. I've also just done the £10 qualifying bet on the Liverpool match on Sunday so I get £5 inplay free.

@fluffy

It's not recommended to sign up other adults in the same household, I've read it's a grey area and could be classed as fraud. The terms and conditions almost always say that free bet promos/offers are only awarded to one person per household/ipaddress/device and a million other things. I know some people do it, but I'm not going to risk my accounts and possible legal action.

In theory you could use details of adult at different house and use a VPN when placing/using the second account but I think it's still a dodgey area.

OverthinkingSpartacus · 19/05/2017 18:48

Just got £25 profit from the betfair free scratch card :) thanks for posting Louise.

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/05/2017 18:50

Yes I'm going to do live chat. I read that but one guide said some don't mind two accounts at one address & it would be Dh doing his own.

I'm going to ask on a forum & see what everyone else does.

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 18:51

Betfair wouldn't let me have the Ruby Walsh scratchcard. The amount of lay bets I do with them too Hmm

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 18:56

Huh, I just tried again and it let me have it.

Won nothing...

MaidOfStars · 19/05/2017 18:56

Roly What's the current Betway offer?

HeyRoly · 19/05/2017 18:59

I mean the standard Betway new customer offer maid, where you get a £50 bonus on top of a £50 deposit and you have to wager it for £500.

My assumption was that it's not TOO much of a drain, as long as you lose the bonus money into the exchange as quickly as possible.

MrsOnTheMove · 19/05/2017 19:17

Louisejxxx

Thank you Grin I've just played the free Ruby Walsh - I realised I have not been checking my promotions.

I have just won over £305 faints
I'm shaking and have just checked it twice it is sat waiting for me to withdraw. Tomorrow I'm shopping Grin

OverthinkingSpartacus · 19/05/2017 19:24

Ooohhhh well done mrs. That's fantastic.

Remember to go to the betfair sports, then promos, and claim the free spins too.

MrsOnTheMove · 19/05/2017 19:27

I've just done the free spins and won £1.90 Grin I thought I was having a slow week.

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 19:28

Wow that's amazing!!!! Shock

louisejxxx · 19/05/2017 19:29

I think it definitely helps to click on all the different tabs as well and keep checking each promotions sections...all bookies seem to have so many different sections e.g casino, vegas, slots, games...they all seem the same to me but I'm sure they all have different offers at different times!

OverthinkingSpartacus · 19/05/2017 19:34

A few pages back one of the more experienced mumsnetters said to not attempt the beltway offer until you have a pot that allows you ring fence a substantial amount at the exchange for laying g should all your bets win at the bookies. I can't remember the amount she suggested but I know from reading OM and a few pps here, people haven't been able to finish the offer as they've ended up with mojirity if exchange pot in their beltway as all bets have won at bookies, and they didn't have funds to lay against the money stuck in beltway for wagering. I'll try find the recommended amount you should be able to spare, but if you end up with £500 say at beltway, I'd imagine you'd need a similar amount for laying?

OverthinkingSpartacus · 19/05/2017 19:40

You'll get another 10 free sounds tomorrow and again on Sunday mrs, follow same steps.

@louise, I check all the promos under all tabs on all my accounts at least once a week, it can take a while the more bookies you're signed up with but def worth it as there's regular freebies like today's scratch card.

People have had free sounds for clicking in vegas on Ladbrokes, No wagering either so might be worth checking that too. Those who use a of should also Dolan apps and check promos on them too as sometimes offers are exclusive to the apps. I have a bet 10 on any sport and get a free £10 bet for same event.

If people don't have time to check all accounts then checking coral, William hill and betfair as a minimum is the way to go, these three have given me loads of freebies that have given me decent profits.
