I just have two Chrome windows open side by side. Does the job ok if you reduce the size of each screen to 70 or 80% I did think of dragging the TV over to my work desk at one point and using that but thought it might be a bit overkill.
That made me LOL @homie. I do all my sign-ups 'on 2 screens' as I have iPad in one hand and iPhone in the other.

I use a mac book for MB, when I started I used our desktop which has 2 screens (husband does lots of web design etc) and because I lacked confidence I'd have bookie and exchange on different screens.

I'm working my way down now though, maybe soon I'll be on to using tablet and phone haha!

Tend to only do MB after little one has gone to bed too as she's of the age where computers are fascinating and she wants to 'help' as much as she can! So I spend a bit of time of an evening on the laptop setting up bets for the next day etc :)

Thats a good idea. I've got a nice sized screen on my laptop :) Connecting to the TV is also easy for me! I should have thought of that.

Anyone else played around with "odds boost" on Ladbrokes

You seem to get given them randomly but you can use if on any event and just the lay your bet off to make instant money each time

Yes, although it is quite a small % increase. William Hill are doing the same thing on mobile only, even less generous boost but you get one to use every day.

https://www.profitaccumulator.co.uk/bet365-horse-refunds/

Been looking at horse refunds, does anyone do the method where you get a small profit every time the horse loses? (Link above with description)
I'm not with B365 yet as their sign up offer is quite substantial.. does WH do a similar offer that I can try and get involved in does anyone know?

Wishing everyone a great Monday!

if you want a 'clear as mud' horsey refund offer to try I would do Betfairsporsbook's 'refund if you horse wins and the odds are above 4.0' offer

Thanks Jon. I think I want a "horsies for beginners" offer so I can get myself familiar with it and build up some confidence!

The Betfair Sportsbook horses offer is better than the B365 one because the odds are slightly shorter and you can get a free bet that can be used on anything. Just make sure you place your bets close to the off as they only qualify for the offer if the starting price is more than 4.0

My strategy for both the B365 and BFSB offer is to look for an exact match or as near as damnit in the region of 5.0 to 15.00. Back £20 on bookies and lay £20.40 on smarkets. If the horse wins get a £20 risk free bet for the next ITV race (B365) or free £20 bet BFSB) If the bet loses you break even with zero Q/l and go again.

Willy Hill do an offer where you get a bonus of 15% winnings if your horse wins by more than 2 lengths. It's come in a few times for me but I've not done too well off that one.

The 2nd place offers are worth doing too and you can combine them with the free bets for winners offers above to cover a few outcomes on a couple of different horses providing you can get good matches.

Something with potentially wider implications for the Matched Betting community.

SkyBet are terminating their affiliate programme in light of potential changes in regulations. They will likely be the first of many.

Fewer affiliate agreements = fewer offers = fewer chances for matched betting/tipster sites to get new customer sign-ups = less financial rewards for matched betting/tipster sites.

If you saw how much affilaites get paid per sign up to bookies it would make you cry lol

I manage a tipster site - I'm fully aware of how much sign-ups generate!

Sorry, me again haha
Do you have to opt in to that betfair horse offer or do you automatically qualify for it if you back a horse at 4.0 or greater at the time of the race starting?
tried to look for some details about it on their website but couldn't find anything.. then again, I am on mobile and have had child buzzing around me all day so maybe I missed it!

NEW FOUND HABIT

Anyone else like checking their balances? I'm a little obsessed. :)

Lord knows what I'll be like when I get more in there lol.

Waiting for money to hit my bank so I can play some more. I'm definitely spending less time waiting between betting sessions now. Can't wait to have enough.

Ha yes, I know the feeling!
It's great being able to see all the deals I can do and seeing how quick the money adds up :) I'm still working through sign ups but so far can't complain at what I've made through a few offers and only a little bit of time put towards MB each night!
