Help and advice please

I'm hoping someone can advise me as I'm doing ok with MB but still fairly new to it.
I signed up to Betway for the offer of deposit £50 and get £50 bonus. I placed a qualifying bet at 1.75 using my initial £50 and layed it at betfair. It won at betway which gave a return of £87.50. I was then awarded my £50 bonus so I placed a bet of £50 at odds of 3.40, again laying it at betfair. The betway bet won with a return of £170.
Now due to their wagering requirements at betway I can't actually withdraw any money. This is what it says.

You have not yet met the wagering requirements to request a withdrawal. However, if you wish to forfeit your bonus and/or any winnings, you may withdraw by contacting customer support.
Your Balance Summary (GBP):
Cash Balance 217.50
+ Bonus Balance 40.00
= Total Balance 257.50
Your Bonus Summary (GBP):
Current Playthrough Achieved 0.00
Playthrough Required 2000.00

There are different percentage of wagering requirements depending on what games you play.
sporting bets above 1.75 = 300% slots 100% etc

Can anyone advise what is the best way to play this so I can get my money and loose out. Should I just keep matching at odds over 1.75 until the requirements are met?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Should I just keep matching at odds over 1.75 until the requirements are met?

Yes, or until you have lost all the money (including bonus). The wagering requirements usually die if your balance hits zero. You have been unlucky with the bonus bet winning.

Also consider Smarkets as an exchange, their much lower commission of 2% will help.
