All sorted with SportPesa! :)
They paid my winnings quick into my Nationwide Account even when waiting on my address part of verification. They rejected the pdf version of my bank statement so I just sent them the same thing again but jpeg format which they accepted straightaway.
Looks like they just want the jpeg format only so just taking a picture of a pdf version of your bank statement is acceptable if you don't have a paper bill or bank statement to take a photo of.
Just so everyone knows who hasn't signed up with them yet that they will payout ok.

Hi, @jumpy10 :), the one I am doing is on Sunbets and I am just backing and laying it (on Betfair) as normal. Difficult to get close odds for any matches over the 1.5 minimum though that does not have biggish qualifying losses.

Last day for it today. Good luck!

Hi, @Blackpepper1 :), glad you got it all sorted okay and people will now know that taking a clear photo should be acceptable in these sort of issues.

Is it me, or has your name always had a number added?

Yes glad they did accept it as valid proof of address.
Not that they have any decent reloads so will probably never need to use SportPesa again.
Hopefully they will keep my stuff safe. Didn't like the fact you could only send by e-mail which isn't as secure as being able to upload the documents onto their site directly and send.
My name always has had a number added as far as I remember.

Thanks @Knopfler - Think I've missed it as had to go out for work. :(
Never mind, will look out for it over Christmas, husband loves the darts so I'm subjected to it anyway!

Hi, @jumpy10 :) You've still got time to get on two more matches if you are quick. The MVG one starts about 8pm, and then it will be the final after that.
I've only JUST sussed out that I can do other markets on it, not just the matched bet of Player 1 v Player 2, so have put a bet on the Handicap one.

Good luck if you do it. I usually watch the one in the New Year as I prefer the BDO or whatever it is called, at Lakeside

Been a busy weekend and not had chance to get on too much myself.. need to get on the darts by the looks!

I'm now committing to hitting 500+ AP price boosts. I think only then will i see a good idea of how well it works.. at the moment, i'm around 50 bets in and about 7 quid up.

Hi,

I'm hoping to have my first attempt at this today...
I've signed up to PA and am watching the instruction videos.
I've signed up to Betfair, and they've given me a signing up offer.
But my problem is with Coral. I've signed up, but I haven't been told that I get any free bet with my first bet. How do I know that I will get a free bet at all?

Thanks

If you've just signed up you will get the free bet with coral

Just follow the instructions for the qualifying bet and you'll be fine ;)

Thanks for the info. I've placed my 2 bets at Coral and Betfair. But PA instruction video says that my free bet(s) at Coral should show immediately, and there's nothing showing, so it does look like I haven't got a free bet?

You placed whatever the qualifying bet says it should be in the offer yeah? (Sorry I forget how much it is)

Log out and back in again on coral to see if it appears, if not might be worth asking on their LiveChat for your freebet to be applied

Thanks, Jon. It wasn't me - it was them! I've just rang them up, and they've credited it now.

I now understand how Coral works in terms of the oddsmatching tool, but Bet Fred has me confused - none of the odds seem to match up with what the oddsmatching tool tells me?

2 things here

The free membership on PA works on a 30 minute delay in terms of the results that it shows.

Is the issue the fact that betfred is showing odds as fractional instead of decimals

honestly, that Betfred website can be a bit of a nightmare to use!

I've not done much with 2 up offers (other than the bets I put on PP for the bet club offer). I did them when they first came out and tried to cash out at the exchange but was never quick enough or it was too late in the game to take advantage of the odds difference. Also, given that I'm the type doesn't want to be glued to a screen all the time, I just want to hope for a 2 up and then draw/lose situation.

I was just running through rough calculations and here is what I came up with:

If you've got odd of about 2.0/2.05 of your team winning and say your team goes 2 up and then draw/lose then you would get £10 from the bookmaker and £9.50 from exchange with a QL of say 50p
So if you hit a winner 1 in 40 times you're even.

@Leeceford you seem to be a fan of these but not sure if you always cash out or wait for the draw/lose (anyone else too) - Are you generally in profit from these?

I do a number of the 2UP offers when I get a good match (and also the 14 UP variant for NFL). If you are looking to cash out immediately when a team goes 2 UP (or 14UP) then you are really backing the non-favourite. If you are backing the favourite (and this is the majority where the good matches are) you really need the other team to come back. Liverpool v Sevilla was a good one, as was Minnesota Vikings v Detroit Lions. I only do 5 or 6 a week, but do hit one or two a week on average (but sometimes only a tenner)
