I spent days reading (and re-reading) the placing first bets guide on profit Accumulator and logged in to Betfair this morning only to find the bet I thought I’d placed had disappeared so maybe I didn’t place it when I thought I had ?! Feeling confused and don’t know what to do next as obv lost my £20 free bet on coral now.

Oh well. It’s all a learning curve isn’t it. I did do it during an insomniac night 2 nights ago - maybe I actually dreamt it ?!

Did the bet actually lose? If it won the money would go from your betfair account and into your coral one..

It’s just not even listed as a past bet on Betfair.

It’s all on Coral - my £5 free bets listed plus the first one that enabled me to get my freebies. I lost all 4 of them so balance in there is £0

And I have £42 in Betfair as credit.

Just dashing out but I’ll look properly at this again later. I just thought it would be in Betfair history as I should have ‘won’ the lay bet (as obv I lost it on Coral)

Ok so it sounds like your betfair lay bet didn't place correctly

Always place your exchange bets first before doing your the bookie side and just make sure it's matched correctly and been placed OK!

Welcome to the forum @Foxelder :)

I always take a screenprint of my 'bet' bet, my 'lay' bet and also my calculator. It does take a little longer to do this but at least I then have proof for myself if I later have a query or need to check it at a later date or to add details to any notes/spreadsheet etc.

More importantly, as soon as I have placed the bets (and done the screenprints), I ALWAYS go into 'my account' to double-check that they show up and confirm that they have been placed at the right odds and amount etc.

Like Jon says, onwards and upwards!

Ok guys so update - I DID place this bet after all and it did win and I did make a little - my first matched bet !

I just could not for the life of me find the 'history' on the website with this info on. The 'live' help person was pretty rubbish too but I did find it in the end and about to move on to the Betfred offer.....

I am such a newbie !!!

Glad it worked out for you in the end @Foxelder :).

If you can remember how you did it (don't worry if you can't though) it might be worth mentioning it on here. Then if anyone else has the same problem and reads this thread, it will help them too.
