No.. coral.

Shnazzyshot · 06/11/2017 08:02

I'm so annoyed! My qualifying bet and my 3 free £10 bets all won at William hill so I've got £120 in there and only £3 in the exchange! How can I withdraw it without looking suspicious?

titchy · 06/11/2017 08:03

Don't worry withdrawing doesn't look suspicious! Annoying though... and it'll take a few days to land in your account.

Thanks titchy. I never know if I'm doing the right thing. So that's me halted for a few days then.

So it’s best to leave a bit in the bookie accounts? Teamprofit say to withdraw it so that’s what I’ve been doing. Would leaving £5 in be enough to trigger more offers?

titchy · 06/11/2017 09:43

The TP guys and gals are far more experienced than me! However I've had a couple of offers which were only available to those with a positive balance so I've always left a bit in - I tend to withdraw round amounts - so £80 out of an £86.36 balance leaving the odd £6.36 in which seems the sort of thing a mug punter would do.

That makes sense. I’ll remember that for next time! I’m waiting all my withdrawals to make it to my bank before I can do anything else!

Shnazzyshot · 06/11/2017 12:06

Me too mama. I'm currently trying a risk free slot thing. You get £10 free no deposit but it has to be waggering is x99 so it's taking forever even though I've got it on auto spin. Are you a newbie too?

mamahanji · 06/11/2017 12:10

Complete newbie. I placed my first trigger bet on the 30th so it’s been just over a week. I’m not very maths minded and I’ve never done any recreational betting so I’m spending bloody hours reading all the guides and check check checking over and over again. No mistakes yet thank god. The last bet I did yesterday was my least nerve racking and took me less time. But I’ve only done football bets. I think once I’ve exhausted the introduction offers I will start an odds money subscription and delve into the world of accas.

Shnazzyshot · 06/11/2017 12:37

I started on Friday. I've done coral and William hill and I've placed a triggering bet for betfred but I'm waiting for my withdrawal from William hill before I can place my free bet with betfred annoyingly. I haven't even read about accas yet but will while I'm waiting for my withdrawal as I can't do anything else until I can top up the exchange.

I have made one mistake which meant I got £14 profit from a free bet instead of £20. Still up overal but I've learnt my lesson!

mamahanji · 06/11/2017 12:40

Are you following any of the guides on Team Profit? I’m following the £25 to £1000 guide but I’m working through them quicker, Betfair liability allowing. I’m stuck today as my Come On age identification will take up to 24 hours to complete and I have about £60 that I withdrew from the bookies on Sunday but hasn’t hit my bank yet. Hopefully by then end of today!

Shnazzyshot · 06/11/2017 12:50

No I'm just picking the things marked as easy on oddsmonkey. Do you have to pay for team profit?

mamahanji · 06/11/2017 13:12

No team profit is completely free. I’m working through their guides go all the welcome offers and about half way through the welcome offers, they tell you to join odds monkey to take your profit margin to the next level. I believe that team profit are really only an introduction guide. I’m going to join odds monkey probably at the end of the week or next week when I’m on the higher introduction offers as I would have made enough money to make the fee worth it.

moogdroog · 06/11/2017 18:21

I'm pretty sure that Team Profit had a link to try Oddsmonkey for a week for £1. It really is very good, not sure how I'd manage without it!

CallSignCharlie · 06/11/2017 20:34

Hi
I’m a newbie to this
I signed up with odds monkey last week and I’m working my way through the easy new customer offers
My first question is now I have a few bookies payments going on and out of my bank account . Is this a problem ? Will it ever affect credit score or finance application ?

titchy · 06/11/2017 21:44

Can do callsign. Most bookies do a soft credit search which won't show up, but if you're asked to show bank statements having thousands going in and out of bookies doesn't look too good! Hence why lots of people take out a second current account.

Shnazzyshot · 07/11/2017 07:51

I would just make sure you withdraw all your money and make sure you don't make any transactions for about 6 months before you e.g. Apply for a mortgage.

I'm feeling very frustrated that I'm waiting for my withdrawal to come through. Can't do anything until it comes through. Does it normally take the 5 days they say? I hope not!

I could 'lend myself' the money but I don't want to get into the habit of that.

I have a free bet from betfred and WH have just sent me a 3x free £5 if I bet £10. I just want to get going!

Shnazzyshot · 07/11/2017 07:53

Also, have you all done the 10 free spins for three days on betfair? I won £4.50 altogether Smile

titchy · 07/11/2017 08:03

Well done! (I'm gubbed from sports book and casino with betfair Sad)

Yes I'm afraid five days to hit your account is normal for most. WH, Coral and Ladbrokes are a bit quicker though.

If your short on liability you can lay different outcomes on the same event and your maximum liability will only ever be based on the outcome with the longest odds.

I'm going to stop for now as i had done all the sign up offers that are worth the effort and a week of mug bets hasn't resulted in any reloads. Also id watch out for comeon. When i signed up the offer was a £20 free bet, however they only credited £10. They completely denied it should have been £20 and made out i was lying so if i was starting again i would screenshot everything.

For anyone just starting out, i highly recommend using quidco and topcashback to make even more money. Just make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully but i made around £70 extra in cashback off those sites (Would have been more but i didn't read the terms properly about how much you had to bet/deposit to qualify).

Shnazzyshot · 07/11/2017 10:00

I've got less than £10 in the exchange so I can't do anything right now.

Thanks for the tips alittle. I keep forgetting rouse cash back sites!

moogdroog · 07/11/2017 12:33

Gah. Arse. Been gubbed by Skybet Sad.

CallSignCharlie · 07/11/2017 18:48

Thanks for the thoughts on the bank account . I might consider setting up a second current account if I do this long term ( At the moment I’m just planning on working through new customer deals on odds monkey then quitting )
Shnazzy - I did the first lot of ten free spins on bet fair ( on Saturday ) but didn’t see it again . Have I missed it now?

Shnazzyshot · 07/11/2017 18:56

I think even if you set up another account, for things like mortgages, you have to show them statements for all your accounts so you'd have to stop a few months before either way.

I think the free spins had to be used in three consecutive days unfortunately Sad

Is that your first gubbing moog? How do you know?

noodleaddict · 07/11/2017 19:53

Callsign I did one day of free spins on betfair too but they didn't appear again. Tried live chat and they reinstated the offer for me so I got another ten today. Who knows if I'll get any more tomorrow though!
