£600 up over three days. Is what I would be if I hadn't laid any of my bets. In reality it's more like £200.

Think I should give up matched betting and become a professional gambler.

Wow. I am definitely sure I would be running at a loss if I calculated it. I have so much in my exchange right now it is unreal. Don't even have enough in some of the bookies for tomorrow!

Right so I always think this during things like cheltenham where you are placing LOTS of horse bets and so covering LOTs of horses as it skews the stats for you results a bit. A normal punter wouldn't go covering such a large field in such a short amount of time

but in summary

carry on using the calculator ;)

what the what now??
I did mention it 4 posts back. Part of the mugging I do is to do some low value accas on horses (like on the ITV7). Today one of them came in to the tune of £975 :D

wow you guys are killing it!

I've probably only made about 30 today but haven't totted it up. Might take the week of next year and have it large; as I'm still getting started really and only on a phone i cant take full advantage - phone is fine for most things but as its a little clunkier you cant get the odds as quick for horses etc.

Darts has been profitable again! Had a cheeky punt in play too - on smarkets sometimes guys go 2 legs clear at 5-3 or 6-4 and you can get them at great prices when theyre an almost dead cert.

£11.42 combination of setting up the bets wrong, steep learning curve and cash being in the wrong places. Still over £200 up since I started at end of Feb :)

It's largely about volume. I have placed £1,700 worth of bets so far this week on Cheltenham (and the last two days were a bit of a bust where there was very little winnings).

I am over £2k up this month already, but half of that is Casino wins and the other half the acca win I mentioned earlier. Last month was £850.

You just need to keep plodding away and the numbers will look after themselves

yeah 100% book the week off if you can. It's paid holiday anyway so anything else you make is a bonus ;)

Having said that I had a little sneaky £1 Acca today and won £975 (which makes me £900 up on sneaky little accas)
Wow! I did not know it was possible to make that much from a £1 Acca. I am definitely missing a trick here.

And it is quite fun too!! The volume of offers and bets is a bit daunting, but you do have 30 mins between the end of one race and the beginning of the next, which you don't get on a Saturday. If you can cope with a full Saturday of horses, and you plan it out properly, then it can be fun.

How do you cope with the odds fluctuations. Every time I tried place and lay a bet one end or other would drift. I got to the point where I was triple checking everything. Got there in the end but I was only running 5 bets and lays....you guys must be well up in double digits

5/1 x 6/1 x 7/1 x 8/1 = 1,680/1. At Cheltenham it is very rare for the any horse except the favourite to be low odds so there are possibilities with the second favourites

Yeah Ive fairly thrown myself into it; luckily been in the position to bankroll myself and not be shuffling money round constantly - i started about a week into Feb amd after taking off first 2 months of oddsmonkey fees im still up over £800.

Gonna be trying for a minimum of £500 a month from now on; nearly there this month already!

I usually watch the ITV opening show @ 9.30 and this means I am betting then and this is when the odds are quite good as the bookies and exchanges are loading up their kitties then.

Then for the betting - @Jon will be different (and we all have our own variations), but for me 1/3 of my bets were made ante post (this is during the special bookie preview sessions where they have some nice boosts - make sure they are NRNB) and I don't lay those until nearer the off. 1/3 are boosts and I mostly lay these off at the time (early in the day between 09.30 and 10.30), and the other 1/3 are during the races (particularly if you are doing the Unibet offer)
