I think oddsmonkey is better personally, they do a trial if you google, it’s not advertised.

Flyinggeese · 28/06/2019 07:47

Does anyone do the daily Buzz Bingo wheel spin? It often produces a certain amount worth of free bingo but online bingo is so tedious! Just sitting there watching numbers flash up, I’ve never won a penny either. Am I doing it wrong?!

boringbetty · 28/06/2019 07:51

I did the trial for Oddsmonkey but every time I used the matcher the odds were wrong so I give up on that

Fluffycloudland77 · 28/06/2019 07:55

I’ve never won free bing either.

I'm hoping to get started on this for extra funds during maternity leave. I don't know where in my house my passport is right now.
Is this likely to cause a problem? I've seen people talk about needing ID.

Flyinggeese · 28/06/2019 20:23

Bess I’ve never been asked for my passport. ID is usually for address (recent utility/phone bill etc) and to verify you are who you say you are (driving licence).

BessMarvin · 28/06/2019 21:32

Thanks for your reply. Then I probably do want my passport for ID for me if I don't have a driving licence then.

Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me here. I've just started match betting tonight and I've used a free £20 bet on a horse race. I've done the backing bit with the bookies fine. But for some reason 2 bets were placed with Betfair instead of the one. I pressed to cash out so now a backing bet has added. Which looks like it cancels the 2 wrong bets out - I'll make a small loss of 23p which is fine.
I just wanted someone to check what I'm doing now is correct, as I don't want to make another mistake

Jellykatt · 29/06/2019 23:15

For clarification I now want to place the correct lay bet to cancel out the free bet place with the bookies

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/06/2019 06:03

Are you using a matched betting calculator?

Jellykatt · 30/06/2019 06:45

Yes I am it was showing as a £12 profit

missbattenburg · 30/06/2019 12:49

But for some reason 2 bets were placed with Betfair instead of the one

Couple of things to check:

  • I've had it lay part of the bet at one odds and part of it at slightly different odds. Never enough to bother me but it can happen.
  • It might look like two bets if part is matched and part is unmatched. Was there enough in the mrket available for your total bet?

Hello all ... I haven’t checked in here for ages but am still plodding on.

I’ve finally started doing a bit of low risk casino and love the extra cash! Have just balanced my books at the end of the month ... June has been my best month with a whopping £777 profit! Ascot was kind to me. Am buzzing and can scarcely believe it.

Flyinggeese, with Buzz I saw a great tip recently. Save your bingo credits (you need to enter a bingo room to accept them though) and use them weekly. I’ve had a couple of bingo wins but it’s the luck of the draw really. Won £43 on Jackpot Joy for 2 lines yesterday (shared prize unfortunately) which was nice ... if anyone is doing that sign-up, note that it’s 50 bingo tickets ... depending what game they can cost anything from 1p to max £1. The £1 games are the link bingo and are only played x4 daily at specific times. Even though the rooms were busy, I waited and did those - max 12 tickets for everyone.

Jellykatt · 01/07/2019 05:46

Thank you - sorry about my panicked posting. Thought I had made a mistake. In the end it was fine as I was able to cash out and it balanced out.
So introductions. I started this on Saturday. And so far have made I think about £70 so I'm really pleased. I accidentally put the full £100 into my betting bank account instead of splitting it. So I've been adding money using my own bank account - so I think I've started with £150 instead of the £100 I planned to start with.
I'm really enjoying it so far, so hoping this can be something I can do long term

Flyinggeese · 01/07/2019 07:23

Thanks Golden will try that rather than using up 50p here and there straight away on the low value games.

hsegfiugseskufh · 01/07/2019 12:47

i think ive made about £60 in two weeks, but only started with about £20 in betfair, and a tenner in WH. I don't think I am doing too bad, but I would love to make a bit more!

do I just need to spend more time doing it? I have only done 3 sign up offers, so plenty more of them to do.

Who is the best for existing customer offers? I got quite a few from WH in the first week but now all they are sending me is casino and I cannot get my head around it at all!

hsegfiugseskufh · 01/07/2019 21:28

Ive just joined betway for their new customer offer but noticed their free bet club.

Can anyone explain to me how it works? It said something about spending £25 on multiples or something and getting a £10er free bet but tbh im lost!

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/07/2019 21:41

That’s an accumulator, their renowned for gubbing so try leaving winnings in the account and betting on popular games.

hsegfiugseskufh · 01/07/2019 21:46

Ah right!

Maybe i will leave that for a bit and carry on doing new customer offers until i know what im doing Grin

Got a £1 free bet from coral which i placed then tried to lay and swiftly realised it has to be more than a £2 stake on betfair!

Lets hope England ladies win tomorrow for my £3.40! Blush

YesQueen · 01/07/2019 22:13

£315 profit this week, can't complain about that!

hsegfiugseskufh · 01/07/2019 22:45

Wow! Im not sure ill ever make that much Shock

Jellykatt · 01/07/2019 22:59

Wow thats amazing. I was on for a £22 profit, but decided to have a go at a casino welcome bonus and lost £10 so not very happy.
I'm all tied up now until some of my bets come in so need to have a read up on how the casino side actually works

YesQueen · 01/07/2019 23:28

I never thought I would be "oh only 100 pounds this week, need to do more" Grin seemed impossible when I first started

hsegfiugseskufh · 02/07/2019 10:16

how long have you been at it queen?

I am aiming to raise my holiday spends for September so i will be happy if I can do that but would be over the moon if I could do more!

do you have any tips?

YesQueen · 02/07/2019 10:44

@JoanMavisIcecreamGirl about 7 months or so
Do any free spins available, check the EV with casino offers, never do just one more spin and you need to be disciplined - there will be losses, it's low risk, not risk free
Take every offer you can get on!
