Anyone still waiting on GMM free bets?

Dragonfairy can you screen shot the lay bet so we can see? It could be a rule 4, i.e. a horse dropped out of the race meaning your lay odds dropped, but seems pretty high if that's it.

In fact, it's most probably best odds guaranteed +, so if you took it at 5, but it ran at 6, they'd have paid you an extra £100.

 

[Uhhhhh]

I've just started matched betting and I'm confused by today's result, although it is good

For the first time I decided to do a horse race bet, it was the Ladbrokes £50 free bet offer (the free part) and I layed it off at betfair. I expected to profit about £36, but the horse won at Ladbrokes.

I've won £325 so my profit is £154.55, which is clearly brilliant. But what happened? I don't understand how I have won that much. Odds were 5 if that helps.

[member=2500]Dragonfairy[/member] What's most likely happened is that the odds have increased at Ladbrokes in the time between you placing your bet and the start of the race.

Some bookies do 'Best Odds Guaranteed' so basically if your horse starts the race at higher odds than what they were when you placed your bet, then you get those higher odds. Great when your horse wins!

If your winnings were £325 (including returned stake) and you bet the £50 then the odds must've increased to 6.5 (6.5 x £50 = £325) - if my maths is correct!

It's happened to me twice today - awesome unexpected boost to profits, isn't it! ;D ;D

Finished! Spent an extra £5 of my winnings at the end, just to see if I got lucky. Ended up with £53.18 profit overall, which I'm happy with considering I didn't even need to make a deposit! First casino offer under my belt

Woop! Woop! Good job

 

[Pbrail]

Ah cool

They don't ring a bell with me at all lol

Shows what I know!!!

They're on PA but seems to be mixed feelings about them.

 

[Pbrail]

Really!!! LOL I thought you were just having a laff!! No MB, Smarkets are my 2 main exchanges, at a push Betfair...have also used Ladbrokes Exchange and Betdaq too but very rare.. Never had any issues with MB till now (Just their way of doing things I guess, just as 888 have their way) sort of an act of god situation this one lol... am tempted to just let it ride...I mean Man U GOTTA beat Bournemouth at home surely??

You have lots of time yet, and plenty of time for the Lay odds to come in. Ordinarily could say Man U would win but it's end of season and all sorts of whacky stuff can happen (for example Tottenham who were 2nd in League losing 5-1 to Newcastle who had been relegated and were down to 10 men yesterday!!) - when there's not much to play for, anything can happen.

ohh thanks, that makes sense

 

[Uhhhhh]

BGO free spins offer today.

A big £1.30 from Cat Queen...bust out in 4 spins. Brilliant.

 

[Pbrail]

William Hill are doing their spin the wheel promo thing again - evening's only though, not sure what time it finishes tonight, seen it said it's 10pm and midnight - so no idea which is right!

Just this minute won £10 from the risk free Macau Roulette though so might be worth checking to see if it's still going. If not, think it's on again tomorrow.

On the subject of slots...I've been given 20 free spins on Titan bet so I'm using them on Frankie Dettori. On Betfair where I did my last casino offer, it told you at the side what percentage of the wagering you had met, so you knew how much you had left and would not wager any more than necessary before your bonus converts to cash. Do other bookies have something similar and how can I find it? Is there a way easier than refreshing my balance every now and then to see if it has been converted?

Also, probably another silly question, but if you have it set to autospin and you get on to the bonus section, is there any way for you to set it to do that bit automatically too, so you can just leave it going while you do other things?

No, Betfair is great for that feature but unfortunately you'll mostly need to keep track of the number of spins/wagering you do manually yourself either on notepad or ye olde fashioned way with pen and paper. A few offers will occasionally have pop up's to let you know when something is complete but the majority won't.

No way to autospin Bonus features that require a 'click to start' action unless you use 3rd party autoclicker software. I don't use that myself but someone else on here might and can offer suggestions on that bit

Tbh the best way of doing it is to have the sound on and listen for the sound of a bonus round, you won't lost the bonus round if anything happens, even if you close the window it will be there when you get back. The trouble is most of them expect you to click various options, etc. and an auto clicker won't really help you.

Also, a lot of casinos have clauses in their bonus T&Cs that say they reserve the right to cancel bonuses if you spin for too long without a break (at work at the moment so can't find a specific example but I think betfair say you shouldn't have an autospin over 200 spins or have it open for more than 2 hours while spinning on a bonus!).

Why not add a Kicker bet to your bet slip tonight? United need 19 goals to qualify for the Champions League and with Kicker, when they win big, you win bigger!

Throw a tenner Kicker bet on and if United win by 3 goals you win £24.60 and if they win by 4 or more you win £61.50 from your £10!

Now that's not to be sniffed at!



I am going to take a £10 punt on that kicker

 

[Jon]

Those Man U PP odds!!!

Thanks for the info. Had no idea about those rules. Presume logging out and logging back in resolves it?

Just managed to match one of my bets at 8.5/6 (Under 0.5) backed and then left it as long as I dared, luckily matched it 2 minutes before the goal.
