Just wanted to share my "Win" today. Others have probably already sussed this out, but I am feeling chipper about this.........

After using up my free membership trials and my annual membership of Odds Monkey, I had thought that my matched betting days were over and I was resigned to just being able to use any Free Bets that came my way and boldly gambling.

However...I thought...there must be a way to utilise the ongoing free basic membership I still had with Odds Monkey, although it only gives a restricted number of gambling sites. So when my £5 freebet with Bet365 came up today, I thought I would see what Odds Monkey came up with. Although it did not list any Bet365 matches for me, I was still able to use the odds it provided for other exchanges and use the free calculator to find a decent Bet365 bet based on calculations for different sites.

So, am reallly pleased that my matchbetting days are not completely over and I can still use an Odds matching site without having to pay a membership fee.:)

Don’t the free calculators with OM / PA work on a delay compared to the paid versions which are updated with odds more rapidly

So, what I did was use the free matchers to then give me an idea as to which bets to go for, then was able to do a search for the horses on Bet365 and used the calculators to calculate the odds.

What you mean all the ones they didn't bother offering for Cheltenham were because they were saving them for Aintree? :ROFLMAO:

I'm sure we've had cracking grand national offers in the past!

Same goes for Royal Ascott which always seems to be an offer-fest lol

I thought there were loads of offers for Cheltenham 2022, far more than expected, just not easy bet X get Y stuff so much anymore.

Bet365 usually do a good National offer. Let's hope they repeat it again this year and don't just offer the usual 4/1 promotion like they did for Cheltenham.

Yes, lets hope for the annual bet £250 & get half your stake back as cash offer.

I'm not too sure as I'm new to this but I think betting software like https://betslayer.com/sure-betting/ helps your odds. Not 100% sure so don't take my word for it

You'd think so, but no.

Betslayer are essentially giving you arbitrage opportunities. Constantly betting on these will get you stake limited very quickly by most bookies. I you want to keep it going long term, stick to bets close to but under 100% in the odds matchers.

Matched betting relies on laying off free or risk free bets rather than arbing.

Oddsmonkey and Profit accumulator are still the best options

(Betslayer are also rather expensive - £49 a month!)

There's no need to pay a subscription, especially if you're already familiar with betting. There are free oddsmatcher, calculator and offer tools out there if you do enough searching.

I agree, you don’t need to pay for a subscription. The free tools available work well.

For me the real value of the subscriptions are the 0% commission deals. I have done 1200 lays this year so far and the 0% easily pays for the OM subscription. However, the main tool I use with OM is the oddsmatcher (I have never got along with the PA version), and I do make good use of the email alerts facility you have with the OM oddsmatcher.

Hey, congrats on the win! Your strategy with Odds Monkey is clever – making the most of that ongoing free basic membership is a game-changer. Also, if you're into online casinos and want smooth deposits, I've found online casino muchbetter deposit in Ontario. Just a tip for hassle-free transactions.
