Sorry - I meant odds of 0ver 5.0!

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/06/2019 15:58

Try to use odds under 8, apparently high odds makes your account stand out.

hsegfiugseskufh · 19/06/2019 16:02

ah ok, thanks everyone! I haven't done any over 5, as I've not got loads of money to put down as liability, i'm going to leave everything I make in betfair and then hopefully as I go on I can take advantage of the higher odds and make a bigger profit as I go on.

At @YesQueen I am interested in doing the low bet casino games, can you please tell me what the EV calculator you mentioned is? Thanks.

YesQueen · 19/06/2019 20:10

@bkaz for some reason I can't link but if you google tricky bet EV it comes up
There's two, one for bonus amounts and one for free spins

Have started this week with it! I was already signed up with a few sites, so have had to forgo some of the offers.

I downloaded the Team Profit spreadsheet but I’m not sure I like it. Trying to create my own at the mo, unless anyone has a decent, downloadable one they’ve come across?

Fluffycloudland77 · 20/06/2019 19:03

Oddsmonkey profit trackers very good.

Smokeahontas · 20/06/2019 19:46

I did one over lunch. I know I’ve made profit, but with money waiting to come back from bookmakers and funds in exchange, it’s a bit worrying! Just new to it I guess.

hsegfiugseskufh · 20/06/2019 22:32

Oh christ ive lost £2! Did summer sizzler and got 10 free spins but when i did it i actually did a £2.50 spin instead of selecting my free ones. I won 50p back but jeez what an idiot!

So far i am up around £40 since sat so not feeling too bad! That sounds pathetic compared to what everyone else is raking in!

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/06/2019 12:56

£21 today. Jackpot joy sign up, tried black jack but got to £6 losses and thought fuck this I’m going back to slots and made £14 profit on bloodsuckers 2. Then £2 bonus for allowing them to contact me via email and £2 from the 30 free spins. Nothing from the free bingo.

Then £6 from the betfred risk free £5 casino.

hsegfiugseskufh · 25/06/2019 13:35

ive done nothing since losing my £2 like a thicko, except a qualifying bet yesterday.

Was going to do my £5 free bet but when ive looked on the oddsmatcher I cant find anything to bet on but horses, I usually just do match odds football but there is literally not one on there!

I am a bit lost now to be honest am I best of checking again later or tomorrow? I need to check how long my free bet lasts....

think I might do another sign up offer tonight, ive only done will hill and coral so far. is there any you would all recommend?

thanks!

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/06/2019 14:13

Do a simple bet x get y sign up. Do check when that free bet expires though and put it in your diary.

Flyinggeese · 25/06/2019 14:22

Joan why not just do horses in that case? Why do you need to bet on football? If there are no conditions saying it has to be football then just go for horses...

Flyinggeese · 25/06/2019 14:51

Also you can often get the higher odds with horses... : )

hsegfiugseskufh · 25/06/2019 15:03

no other reason than all I have done is football so far and I am not sure what im doing with horses!

also will it look weird if I just randomly bet on a horse?

Flyinggeese · 25/06/2019 15:19

Ah OK, I understand, well definitely only do what you’re comfortable with.

I’d recommend looking at horse bets though, they’re nice and quick!

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/06/2019 16:06

It won’t look odd if you bet on the favourite, betting on odds over 8 will look odd.

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/06/2019 19:19

Anyone doing the betfred £10 in play on tonight’s England game? £5 fb tomorrow.

missbattenburg · 27/06/2019 19:44

I'm going in on the BetFred/England game deal...

p.s. Hi everyone!

boringbetty · 27/06/2019 20:14

Yeah think I'm going to get on it too . What you having on it ?

boringbetty · 27/06/2019 20:29

I've just had over 2.5 goals , nice low odds

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/06/2019 20:55

How did you lay that? I looked but the name of the market wasn’t exactly the same so I bottled it.

boringbetty · 27/06/2019 21:37

Are you using Betfair?

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/06/2019 21:53

No, I was on Smarkets. pa had no matches on the oddsmatcher.

boringbetty · 27/06/2019 22:01

Ah I don't use Smarkets yet tried it once but couldn't get used to it so I stick with Betfair . Is pa worth it ? I've looked into joining but didn't wanna waste my money . I've just been doing it myself
