NO GOOD comes from using Windows

AHHHH I'm so chuffed for your win today, I'll defo learn to do these extra places in the future what's your total profit now hun?

CAN I PLEASE GET PAST £2300 LOL

[member=143]auntygeek[/member] Sorted! I had to change the Windows language and currency settings and we are a GO again.

Updated total is £3444.43 ;D

I know how you're feeling...at the start of the month I managed to be in the minus, back and forth, for the first 3 or 4 days. Now I'm at £311.41 profit for April, with my aim of £500 for the month. What are your monthly targets? LET'S DO THIS.

Fingers crossed Leicester score 373920 goals tomorrow. Like a tool I forgot to bet on the Arsenal game earlier and they scored 3 times :

Is anyone good with Excel?

I think I figured out the problem area - even though my banking is set to 'GBP' it's still showing the balance as dollars and the formula is already set so I don't understand how to change it. I just downloaded a new blank version of Ultimatcher and it's doing the same thing.

EDIT - I just put 2 and 2 together...last night my laptop auto-updated to Windows 10 and it's Americanified the whole thing. Even my date is showing as MM/DD/YYYY. Bloooody hell

I've had a bloody nightmare with Windows 10 updates, lost my cursor and touchpad wouldn't work. Its the devils work. Lol

I've got £7 from today which is a start... Yes come on Leicester! My monthly is £555 every month but I didn't hit last month so £600 would be ideal... I'm on about £6 at the moment!! At least not in minus anymore!

RIGHT I am gonna hit £3000 by the end of the month and you're gonna hit £4000 - IT IS HAPPENING.

I'm tempted by match catcher but I'm scared of being gubbed!!

Just totting up my total profit today but stuck £18.13 (withdrew £200 and that was what was left) on various horses on Coral earlier, one of them was an EW on Rule the World! Just taken them for another £90 after they gubbed me yesterday, feeling great about that. Can't decide if I should leave some there and keep mugging with it, or just take it and leave coral behind.

YAY!!!! I'm so happy for you! I haven't had many free bet offers from coral in a while so maybe focus on other accounts for now and if it's quiet go back and mug a bit maybe during Euro's?

Other than the Cheltenham offers I've barely touched them since sign up, never really had good offers so I'm not too sad to lose them (and definitely not surprised), some mugs during the Euro's is probably a good idea. Got other accounts to mug at the moment, Bet365 really needs it, plus I have to do my SkyBet today. Luckily yesterday didn't really affect my exchange (as much went in as out again) so I've got a lot available to mug with.

Just been reading on the forums about the new odds matcher. It worked ok yesterday for 2 888Sports GMM matches but couldn't find anything for my 3rd, then today I can't see a thing for SKyBet except a few horse races, I assumed it was just a re-skin when I saw it, not a whole new system.
They seem to be blaming [member=3587]OddsMonkey[/member] for stopping access to their data, would be interested to hear their side of the story as currently the PA odds matcher is next to useless for me.

Yeah - I'm not loving it so far!

That's interesting as I had an email from oddsmonkey about software. They said that they haven't pulled it from partner sites but partners have chosen to go their own way which is fine.

It wasn't coming up with ANYTHING for pokerstars over odds of 4.0 for my FB which was rubbish. I found a horse manually but come on!

 

[auntygeek]

Ahhhh! I put a 10p acca on the NHL matches last night, a 12-fold... Odds were crazy like 400 or something, I won 9/12 legs... So close!!! Hopefully one should come in eventually, I'm sacking off doing 5-6 folds for £1 and doing more 20p or 50p accas with more legs to reduce losses... But sure I'll get a return at some point!

Got some unlaid trebles on the results this aft, got a few possibilities covered so if Man U or Stoke win I'll be in for a nice return as long as Leicester win!

Am sure seen answer to this somewhere but can't find it!

I'm looking at doing bet on football where bookmaker is offering enhanced odds (was 13 now 17)

When calculating the bet do I use the 13 or 17 to put into the Match Betting Calculator?

TIA

I signed up to oddsmonkey last week. I was looking at upgrading to match catcher for Aintree but price wise Oddsmonkey worked out cheaper. The site is very similar to PA forum is not as active but it's only £15 a month.

personally I would rather pay to be part of the bigger community

More people tends to mean better advice as there's more people doing the offers

I've seen people go to cheaper PA alternatives and then come back again when the advice they get is crap lol

It’s a really good point Jon. Our view is that whenever someone subscribes to a matched betting service, they should take care to ensure that they can be confident that the advice they're getting is spot on. As the original developers of the software used by nearly 70 matched betting websites, we feel we’re as well placed as anyone to offer solid advice.

Of course, people have personal preferences and will make a choice that suits their needs. Either way, we think competition is brilliant for all matched bettors because it should promote better service, better communication (particularly in the communities) and more choice.

Personally I'd like everything in one place. PA has ALL the offers... ones I wouldn't be able to find by myself, plus Match Catcher, plus the odds matching tool, plus the forum... I'm looking more and more for software to make this all quicker and easier for me but I wouldn't want to pay £15 a month for just software and a small forum when £12.50 a month on PA gets offers, much bigger forum and software.

What I REALLY want is a live odds matcher, match catcher for racing, football refunds and accas, offers and forum in one place. PA is getting there...

Let me tell you the rollercoaster I've just had on Frankie!!! BGO had a promo yesterday, deposit 5x£10 with the promo code number of a rider on Grand National and you'd get free spins, more if they win/place. I sign in today and I've got 170 free spins. I end up with £32.50 bonus funds which isn't bad... but some £1150 wagering. I'll never get through this I think... £1 spins it is.

Never had so many bonus rounds.... £19, £24, £14, £14... then some 5 of a kinds winning £10 here, £20 there on spinning... nothing huge but holding steady.

Bonus funds up to around £50, still £800+ wagering to go...

Still £50 in bonus... £600+ wagering to go... another bonus round. £8. GOD DAMN IT!. Another bonus round soon after.... £50!!!

Bonus funds £90... £500+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £75... £400+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £80... £350+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £65... £300+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £55... £275+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £35... £240+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £20... £200+ wagering to go.

Really bad run here... I'm going to bust out... I get onto [member=1]Jon[/member] on Skype and go THINK BONUS. 'Bonus bonus bonus' he says... BONUS ROUND! Don't be £6, don't be £6...

Bonus funds £90... £180+ wagering to go!! A free spins race almost straight away, another £10 odd... ANOTHER magic 7 bonus... £24!

Bonus funds £120... £160+ wagering to go.

Bonus funds £80... £80 wagering to go. All down to these last 80 spins...

FINALLY

I get to £70 bonus funds and my last few spins... this is going to be great, I'm definitely going to profit £70! Amazing result. 1 spin to go... FREE SPINS RACE. 35 free spins! £28.20.

£102.30 bonus... £1.75 wagering to go!!!! ONE FINAL £1.75 spin

And...

Only a bloody Magic 7 bonus!!!

All the bonus funds and shitty RTP I've been screwed out of on the past couple of months came home today!

Wagering DONE. I have £188 withdrawable (including £50 deposit) so I think I'll mug a couple of spins and withdraw £185. Third spin... only another bloody bonus round!

Finally withdraw £155 PROFIT.

I've never made it through £1000+ wagering before... it was insane the number of bonus rounds I had! What a turnaround of events...!
