Help! I bet £10 on FraVIce to get the free £10 in-play bet from Coral - the free bet is showing in the account but not when I try and bet.

What am I doing wrong?

log out of the site and back in again?

Tried and even gone incognito and still not showing

[Uhhhhh]

quick question(s)

So lets just say I invest £50-60 to one of the free offers which are available, am I just taking out what I invested to put towards another promotional offer with another bookmakers based on whether I win substantially or lose a little.

Basically, if I start with a budget of £60, how would I ensure I take advantage of other offers without touching my original investment? Again thank you for the previous responses. Today is literally a learning curve for MB before taking the plunge and dabbing atoe in the pool tomorrow

[member=2138]odaddybee[/member] The reason that you need a bankroll to start off with is that when you place a lay bet at the exchange then you need a 'Liability' amount (this is the amount that you will lose at the exchange if your bet loses there, BUT you will win at the bookies which covers this loss). The higher the odds you try to bet on, the higher the liability amount. You won't lose any of your original bank roll but you do need some money to be able to place bets.

Example: I just put a £30 free bet on a draw in the Iceland game (odds were 4.5 at the bookies and 4.6 at the exchange) - I needed £82.55 liability in my exchange account to place that bet. Now, that money isn't going anywhere (if I lose the £82.55 at the exchange then the bookies bet will win and cover those losses, plus with my profit on top) but I do need to have that much in my exchange amount to even place the bet. That's what you need your original bankroll for.

If you start off with a small bank roll (£60-£100) then perhaps you can only put one or two bets on at a time so progress will be slower, but then your bankroll will build up due to the profits you'll be making from offers, then you can do more offers at the same time. I started off with a couple of hundred just because I was impatient and wanted to do lots of offers at the same time haha.

Take advantage of the free trials offered by (Profit Accumulator or my preferred site is Oddsmonkey. Have a go on both trials - they're free so you might as well. They take you through step-by-step and have active communities for any questions you might have.

I don't have a smartphone but I've checked the terms and it's definitely not mobile only. I'm braving live chat and of course they have more traffic than usual so no reply

 

[The Reverend]

4x £5 free bet so far!

It's not showing for me either. Lots of people are having the same problem.

 

[Falanouc]

Thank you Layla! Couldn't find anyone with the same problem.

Fingers crossed they give a free bet for something else.

Poor iceland

I am earning a fortune here...

 

[Uhhhhh]

Where are you making that much from - have you got lucky on casino offers? I'm only doing it in the evenings and averaging about £500 per month..I've also not touched acca's and struggling to see how I can increase to say £1k which would be perfect..

[member=1943]Harper[/member] I aim for £500 a month but have managed £800 the last couple of months by changing how I matched bet - started doing the horses a lot more seriously (in love with the each-way matcher and racing matcher on OM ....they've literally doubled my profits for May and June) and although I haven't looked into accas yet myself, I can see that all of the 'serious' matched bettors say they're a necessity when going for higher targets. That and pure luck by going for all the bigger slot offers. They're not my cup of tea though...don't mind a "spin £5 get £5" or similar, but I haven't got the stomach for the risky offers, especially at the start of the month where I feel like a £10 or £20 loss hit quite hard!

There is a thread on PA that details how to make £33 a day, which is £1000 a month. A good place to start!

Makes the England loss feel even more embarrassing!

 

[fynsgran]

Same problem with Coral's website.

 

[charlyn]

Bloody hell this france v iceland game. Just logged on to do my free 10 inplay bet from ladbrokes and there was barely any markets to use it on with France being a dead cert now.

 

[Falanouc]

Urgh well the free bet now been credited. Fingers crossed Iceland can score because there wasn't much left to bet on

 

[askgar]

Under 4.5 was a good one for me.

A bit annoyed, I just looked and noticed I never placed my PP bet tonight :-(

 

[The Reverend]

Single
To Win
£ 10.00
Inc. Free Bet of £ 10.00
Yes - France v Iceland - Both Teams to Score @ 3.80

That was lucky! placed just before Iceland scored. I couldn't find anything on the exchange to match so went for a mug bet!

 

[Falanouc]

Phew! I only got odds of 3.00 but that's £20 in my account already.

 

[charlyn]

I managed to place it on over 6.5 goals.

Glad I did that genting offer which I dont normally bother with. £6 free bet already..

 

[fynsgran]

Finally got my bet to show in the betting slip, Iceland to score next placed the bet and before I could lay it they had scored. £48 thanks very much!

 

[mabozza]

Genting gonna be sore tomorrow

 

[Uhhhhh]

Ah was gonna go for BTTS - Yes unlaid but then I chickened out! Didn't think Iceland would manage to pull one back.

Ah well, guaranteed profit is better than potentially losing! ;D
