Oh thanks louise! I will wait patiently then.

NewUserName01 · 20/05/2017 11:44

SierraJensen I've just logged into Coral and got the free spins offer too but cannot for the life of me figure out where to go to use them! The site is baffling.

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 11:47

I logged into coral and couldn't see it anywhere Confused are you guys logging in on laptops or phones?

NewUserName01 · 20/05/2017 11:48

louisejxxx I logged in on desktop. The offer popped up after I logged in, I clicked to accept and then was left thinking but where do I go now? Still can't work it out.

GinGeum · 20/05/2017 11:52

Where are the Betfair free spins? I haven't found that one!

NewUserName01 · 20/05/2017 11:55

GinGeum For betfair I logged in and went to Promotions and then scrolled right down to the bottom. Have to say these spins are weird. No idea how you win or why you'd actually pay to play them.

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 11:56

Nothing's popping up for me on Coral ☹️

SierraJensen · 20/05/2017 12:00

newuser I couldn't find the game at first but then did a search for frankie and found it that way. The offer popped up for me when I logged in on my phone.

NewUserName01 · 20/05/2017 12:06

SierraJensen Thank you. Found it and won £4.40 - no idea how but I'm not complaining.

Babyiwantabump · 20/05/2017 12:26

Anyone know how to get the ultimatcher spreadsheet to work on Mac OS? I have just got a MacBook and don't really know how to use it anyway as used to a windows laptop - but I have office 365 for mac so can use excel but just can't get the ultimatcher to open .

Have searched for guides
Thanks

titchy · 20/05/2017 12:48

Just had my first gubbing (Boylesports)! I know I should be annoyed but I'm quite proud Grin

FiveHoursSleep · 20/05/2017 12:54

Thanks Sierra, that's what my surprise £5 from WillHill will be about!
Just did the 10 spins on WillHill and made £5. My Betfair spins are awarded but it's using my own money :(

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 13:11

The betfair spins are no wagering so should just go straight into your normal balance?

HeyRoly · 20/05/2017 15:57

Sky Vegas are giving away £5 today.

I did 5 x £1 spins, won £2, then two more spins and won nothing. Worth a go though, since it's risk free.

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 16:07

Did it just appear when you logged in Roly? That's the second thing that isn't showing up for me today. Maybe they all got wind I did well on the freebies yesterday 😞

ShinyGirl · 20/05/2017 16:28

I'm.going to try my first ACCA today, any tips?

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 16:33

Make sure you do a lay sequential lock in to guarantee profit - you make small and steady amounts like £3-£5 each time, but it's better than nothing which is what may happen if you don't lock in.

I've just concluded my first one that wasn't a free bet and I've enjoyed it so much I've set up another couple Grin

OverthinkingSpartacus · 20/05/2017 17:15

Some of the coral pop ups don't appear for everyone at the the same time. I've had a few and free sounds etc, but then people on OM forums etc haven't had it, but get the same pop up a few weeks later.

The best thing to do is keep logging in once a week or so, I've also been using the extra pence to do a spin or low stakes bj hand, so if my balance is something daft like £10.24 and I'm withdrawing, I'll leave the 24p in and looks for a cheap slot.

I hate the coral site but monitoring wagering is easy in there as you just click on balance and it'll tell you which Jeffers you are working on and how far you are, the slots are usually located under casino.

Betfair free spins are usually for a specific slot so if you head to the wrong one it'll use your own money. You can always check the terms and conditions by going back to the promo section under whichever tab. I usually click eligible games from the t and can kn the offer info and click the slot straight from there, and then keep checking bonus balance if it doesn't pop up " free spins" when opening the slot.

Ladbrokes were giving free spins yesterday when you logged into the casino, I'd had mine earlier in week, you need to click on casino, bingo, vegas or whatever to see all the different promos, just logging won't show freebies on most bookies (coral pops them up automatically which makes up for their shitty site)

I've got two accas going, the dabblebet sign up and the William hill one :) have a million alarms set to remind me to do sequential lays. :)

OverthinkingSpartacus · 20/05/2017 17:21

Louise, are you doing accas on foreign matches or just with different bookies?

I'm loving them too.
Think I like the accas better than the free bets thing.
I didn't lock in my William hill one though and the first match has started, I also didn't have £50 spare for stake to get the free £50 bet if a leg loses so have staked £20. All my cash is tied up in other bookies and I've got bets going all over the place so exchange is getting low.

Bloke on odds monkey one to one session told me to stop laying when two legs lose for William hill, but William hill says free bet awarded if one leg loses so I thought the laying should stop at 1 leg losing? Have posted on OM so hopefully someone will reply there before a keg loses.

Hamiltoes · 20/05/2017 17:44

Overthinking thats correct. After one loss you are still technically "up" as you have won 1x lay bet and have a possible free bet should all other teams win. After two losses, you should be up as you have won 2x lay bets, however now you have lost the free bet.

There is no benefit to laying further teams as if they win on the ACCA you will lose your liability and recieve neither bookie winnings or any free bets.

Hope that explanation makes it clearer?

Hamiltoes · 20/05/2017 17:46

Also, if you stop laying after 1 loss then if another team loses you will not have layed, so you will lose your free bet at the books and also you won't have won the stake you would have won on the exchange had you layed the bet.

I've somehow missed a bloody paragraph in my post! Grin

louisejxxx · 20/05/2017 17:47

Spartacus I've only been doing £10 bets because I want to really get the hang of it before I move onto anything bigger.

I've only been betting on matches in well known leagues, including foreign ones. WH has an "offer club" where you get a free £5 bet and it lists all the matches you can bet on so I've been sticking to what's on that list so I can qualify for that.

I use Acca finder to find the matches, then swap them out myself and change the calculator if I've already bet on certain teams on other accas, as apparently betting on the same team in different access can draw attention to yourself.

Hamiltoes · 20/05/2017 17:48

£23 win from the WH free £5 on the Wish Upon A Jackpot slot. Took about half an hour to get through the wagering, 20p and then once balance was about £35 I switched to 40p stakes. If you have the mobile app go to the Vegas section and then its in Promos

Lauren1983 · 20/05/2017 19:11

Thanks louisejxxx. I made 19.84 from the Wish Upon a Jackpot offer you posted.

FiveHoursSleep · 20/05/2017 19:24

I'm now starting to look at Accas and have read through a few things but still can't get my head around them completely :(
Do I have to do anything special to tell the bookie that that's what I am doing? Or do I just need to follow the instructions on Oddsmonkey? How easy is it to cock up?
