    Wishful mug betting?

    There are all sorts of mug betting theories out there. Some do it a lot and some never do. It doesn't seem to matter because you eventually get gubbed anyway. I was gubbed from someone's live casino and I never even do live casino because I find it is so boring. Just wondering if it is worth...

    When to start increasing odds

    PA training videos say do not go too high on the free bet odds. Yet the forum members are always quoting matches with very high odds such as 14/14.5 etc and potential profits from boosts based on £200 bets. I read (I think on PA) that you should gradually increase your odds. I cannot see me...

    Odds are evens?

    Can someone explain to me please what it means when a bookies says 'as long as the odds are evens'? Can I only use even numbers, eg. 2.0, 2.2 etc?

    How far in advance is reasonable to place bets? How to pick good mugs?

    I have a couple of free bets to use and I also want to do some reload qualifying bets for next week's free bets, and finish up some more sign-ups. However, PA oddsmatcher never seems to show much with the odds I need with good ratings and the couple with good ratings are several days away. How...

    Proving to Money Shed I am not a robot?

    So, I am just reading through all the latest responses in the matched betting section here and up pops a message box saying there is unusual activity from my IP address and asks me to tick the box to prove I am not a robot then redirects me back here after about 5 seconds. I have never had this...

    888 Freeplay

    Does anyone do these? I keep getting these emails. I understand from the terms & conditions (feel free to tell me if I have misunderstood) that all I have to do is deposit £20, play through the £120 freeplay then wager the winnings 30 times. If I am lucky then I can withdraw any winnings from...

    Laying a bet twice?

    I am just doing my first in-play bet. It is a £10 free bet from Bet Victor. I have somehow managed to lay the bet twice on Betfair. I tried to cancel one but not sure what happened. I now have two lay bets for the same match. All I can hope is that my bet loses to the exchange, I think. But is...

    What to do with tiny casino win?

    I am almost halfway through the sign up offers on PA. I have £1.12 from a free casino bonus sitting in my Coral account and can't decide what to do with it. Should I start my mug betting/reload journey now or stick to PAs instruction and wait until I have completed all of the sign ups? Of course...

    Woo hoo! £5 birthday bet

    Sun bet sent me a free £5 birthday bet. Of course I have to bet £5 in order to claim it. I am loving matched betting.

    Who to mug bet with?

    With the tons of bookies out there, I was wondering how people choose who to place mug bets with. Do you pick a selection, for example only the major ones, and stick with them or do you spread it around to as many as possible? How many mug bets are reasonable for a bookie?

    Received instead of fully matched?

    I am onto qualifying bet #9 (out of 10) for Ole777. I placed my £30 bet on Crystal Palace v Southampton (CP to win) and laid it on Smarkets. When I placed the lay bet there were several hundred pounds available (not sure if I have the correct term). As soon as I confirmed my bet it said received...

    Withdrawing while still working an offer

    I am currently working on the Ole777 offer on PA - place 10 qualifying £30 bets to get a free £30 bet. The bets keep winning into the bookie. Would they mind if I withdrew some of the funds (to deposit to the exchange) in order to complete the wagering requirement? I don't want to do anything...

    Trying to understand what happened

    I placed my last qualifying bet for £25 with 138.com and layed it with Smarkets. It said fully matched at the time. Now the match is finished and should have lost to the exchange as the match ended in a draw. However, when I checked Smarkets I see a list of 6 partially matched entries ranging...

    Free bet from the Mayweather fight

    I have a £27.36 free bet from BetVision from the Mayweather fight. They say I have to use it all on the same bet at odds of greater than 1.0001. Do I do this as a Freebet SNR?

    Casino offers - time wasting?

    Is it just me, or are casino offers really just time wasting? Or am I doing something wrong? I did one yesterday and managed to wager the full £900+ from the winnings, this is with a few huge wins, and ended up with over £200 in my bonus account. When it transferred over to my cash account...

    Free bet for giving feedback

    I got a phone call from a bookie giving me a £5 free bet if I gave them feedback, plus a 100% profit boost for making a bet of max £10. I do like to get free stuff. Does it matter (would it be mean) if I matched betted it? Will they somehow know?

    Can you get gubbed for free spins?

    How likely are bookies to gub someone for taking advantage of the free spins sent via email? Do you need to make mug bets to cover this as well? Sorry if it sounds like a foolish question.

    Using specific exchanges?

    I find the PA forum so confusing so am asking my question here. When looking at the oddsmatcher sometimes only one exchange will show. Does this mean that I can only use that exchange for that bookie? Or am I free to use any one unless the offer specifically mentions anything about exchanges?

    Bonus spins

    A few weeks ago I did the Mr Green offer that included 100 free spins. It is 5 spins per day (so should have lasted 20 days). I did about 9 days then went away on holiday for a week. I have done about 4 more and it won't let me do any more. So I guess the 20 days of spins is counted whether or...
