I'm still getting over the shock that you've only just found out about the Bet365 2UP offer @Jon.

@Lizziew24 Good luck with your acca. I was only gubbed recently with Sunbets, after the last darts offer - despite only doing one of the games, and used to mug abit as well. They gubbed a LOT of people at the same time though, I believe.

I’ve seen the 365 2up offer but don’t understand it...although I’m likely over complicating it! Is it just back lay and hope the team you back go 2 goals up?? @Knopfler

Looking at the PaddyPower money back offer tonight. has anyone harnessed #WhatOddsPaddy for this? I suppose the issue is you would have MAJOR issue laying that off lol

Exactly.

You can cash out if the other team pulls a goal back, but i find it best just to let them run. Find close matches and back/lay. Get enough volume and you should hit a few.

@Jon I've just stuck a tenner on Barca as part of the weekly offer anyway. You wouldn't do wrong playing in the #WhatOdds market. It's only up to £10 and you'd still be taking some value just punting.

Paddy will like you betting on those, and it makes the game more fun to watch.

There are 2 ways to do the 2Up's.

First (and easiest) is the way you kinda half talk about.

Back and Lay as normal, but what you're hoping for is your team to go 2Up - the will bookie pay out- you then hope for a turnaround and the other team to then either equalise or win. This way both your Back bet and Lay bet will pay out - big bucks if that happens!!

The Second and slightly harder way is if your team go 2UP, you can then Cash your Lay Bet in early. The payout is obviously much less than a full turnaround, but it's far more likely to happen so is more of a 'little and often' route.

There are also more variances with this as you can do things like wait to see if the other team can get 1 goal back which means you can cash out your Lay for more money, or some people do 50-50. Cash in 50% of their Lay at 2-0, and hold off the other 50% until later in the match in the hopes things go in their favour. There's 'risk' involved with that though if the team you've backed go to 3-0 as the cash out odds will be less and so less profit to lock in.

For the Second way it obviously requires you to be online and watching the score while the match is playing. It also requires your team to go 2Up fairly early in the match - if they are leading 2-0 in the 80th minute there isn't any value to cashing out at that point because the odds will be too low.

A good example of a 2Up was last week with Juventus v Spurs. Spurs went down 2 goals in the first 10 minutes, the game finished 2-2 though so both Back and Lay bets paid out on that occasion and the people who cashed in their Lay bets early also made good money because the 2 goals happened very early in the match.

Pretty much impossible to lay off #whatsodds, so I treat those bets when I do them as Advantage Play

Edit: which I won't be doing on Chelsea as I don't think the chance of them winning will be high enough. I did AP it on Man City last week though.

Just done my bet365 pre match
71p loss ;)
I thought of going that route, but as PP are doing 2UP on the match as well I am dutching between the two (and also the Coral and Boyles offers) - bigger QL but good returns if one of them hits.

I decided to do a £10 mug accumulator yesterday. Just to keep Bet365 happy. Decided on a triple with a dead cert first leg which I didn't lay, at least then I could make a little bit of profit from. Who wants to guess what my dead cert bet was?

Yes, it was Man City to beat Wigan. There was no way they were going to lose that was there. £10 down to start my week. Great :(

To the people talking about the 2up offers. Don't forget for Premiership games Bet stars have a Money back as free bet if your bet is winning at 80 mins but then loses and WH have 4 means more on televised games. These also dutch well with the 2ups and you can do the draw with those too. Plus the WH odds boost helps minimise qualifying losses.

@Jon - You really do have a gif for every occasion, don't you.
