Sauvignon I felt the same about Casino offers too and avoided them. I've recently dipped my toe in and been pleasantly surprised.

Start off by looking for risk free or no deposit bonuses or spins to get the hang of them. Most have such ridiculous wagering requirements that you'll bust out but if you're not playing with your own money you just as well give it a bash.

Recent good casino new account offers I've done are:

Playojo-deposit £50 and get 50 free spins. I put the £50 in, made £5.27 profit from them then withdrew £55.27 10 minutes later, no WR.

Ladbrokes-play £100 (min deposit £10) and get a £30 bonus. I was nervous with this one as you use your own money but it was simple, just repetitive. I deposited £20 in Ladbrokes casino. Used Starburst slot and did 10 lots of 100x10p spins (so 1000 spins total but you can use auto play). Balance after that was £27 so £7 up. Got the £30 bonus and used the same 10p starburst to wager it...just once I think it was. Finished off £47 up in total.

Oh dear lord

I read this, and now I'm actually doing it! Scary!
Have subscribed to oddsmonkey and got my free coral bets.

I am familiar with horse racing anyway and tend to do well, although this is a different ballgame! Wish me luck and any tips gratefully accepted

Does anyone know how long it takes William hill free. Bets to come through?

NorthCoast · 26/08/2017 21:24

Usually by midday the following day, Trenzalor

cherrytreeblossom · 26/08/2017 23:28

Does anyone know of a way of keeping track of all of your accounts in one central app/website?

uokhunni · 27/08/2017 00:01

Joining yesbets works for me.

FlyButterflyFly · 28/08/2017 09:34

Place marking!

ASauvingnonADay · 28/08/2017 11:47

I'm still doing signup offers, but keep signing up to bookies (e.g. Mr green) where nothing is showing on the oddsmatcher. I'm finding it hard to find good odds to match manually/websites hard to navigate. Is there another oddsmatcher that is free?

Trenzalor · 28/08/2017 12:38

I keep making new mistakes. However this has the benefit of making me look like a mug bettor. William Hill are great for bonuses but check the sport! I activated one for the Merryweather fight but bet on football. Sigh. Not ready to quit yet. My profit just isn't as great as it should be by now!

HeyRoly · 28/08/2017 14:03

It's very unusual to get zero results from the Oddsmatcher. When it happens to me, it usually means I've accidentally entered too many filters (or mistyped a word if I was trying to search a particular horse race) so I wipe all the filters and try again.

imnottoofussed · 29/08/2017 22:19

Agree with roly I thought my acca finder wasn't coming up with good results then realised I'd set the filter to a specific date

ASauvingnonADay · 29/08/2017 22:22

I've taken off all the filters but still getting nothing. (Mr green with Betfair)

HeyRoly · 29/08/2017 22:29

There still must be something funny going on.

Have you got it set to default at the top left?

ASauvingnonADay · 30/08/2017 22:58

Ah I've been using PA not that one. I'll look again tomorrow on my laptop. So confusing, I've actually done done any this week because of it

ASauvingnonADay · 31/08/2017 10:34

Only have the free trial on oddsmonkey and still nothing showing on PA so used a random free matcher.

Placed bet but it's only partially matched. It's football and match isn't until 2 September - should I wait to see if it is matched, or correct it now?

HeyRoly · 31/08/2017 15:39

Is it a high profile football match? It will almost certainly get matched before the weekend.

insertsomethingwitty · 31/08/2017 20:07

So, I have started this today. I understand the back and lay concept and have started off with Coral, all gone well and I won my initial £5 bet into Betfair. Slight snag is now I haven't got my free bets through, so can't really do anything else. It has been hours since my bet now, are they supposed to come through straight away?

insertsomethingwitty · 31/08/2017 20:09

Another few questions.

Do you regularly take money out of Betfair as your earnings (leaving in a float to play with) or do you leave it in there to just increase so you can bet more?

Every time you sign up to a new account do you use your own money to cover the initial bet?

HeyRoly · 31/08/2017 21:22

You'll need a decent sized float tobstatt with, both to give you a pot in Betfair and money to use with each new bookie account you open. I started with about £150 IIRC.

insertsomethingwitty · 01/09/2017 16:08

I currently have about £87 in Betfair from money I had in there previously. i will build that up a bit before I withdraw any. How often do other people withdraw?

I also finally have my Coral free bets, so I am now back in business.

ASauvingnonADay · 01/09/2017 17:37

I keep about £100 in Betfair, sometimes more

Sodizzymyheadisspinning · 01/09/2017 17:41

I want to get in on this! Will be back at some point over the weekend once I've got my head around everything.

Can anyone recommend where to start? For a total total newbie who knows NOTHING ta Smile

MissFitton · 01/09/2017 18:19

Dizzy - I'm with Profit Accumulator who seem to have good offers and a useful forum - Odds Monkey is used by others on this thread and seem to be just as good.

Insert - I have about £400 in Betfair - started with £100 and then have never taken anything out of Betfair. I've got a separate account for MBing now so any bookie winnings go back into that and it kind of all funds itself.

I've been doing this very part time since April and I've just cleared £1000 profit. I could do more but RL keeps getting in the way!

HeyRoly · 02/09/2017 12:14

I stuffed up last night. There was a Ladbrokes offer: £20 pre match bet on England and get 4 x £5 in play bets. Only I didn't check which matches they were valid for until three of them had finished Angry I will at least have one left for the Wales match later.
