PS @Jon - I am watching this forum and get email updates, but every couple of weeks the updates stop - I thought it was because I didn't click on a link in one of the emails I get, but I have been very conscientious about that and it still happened this week (which is why i haven't posted here this week)
By default XenForo alerts users of a new reply to a thread they're watching only if they've viewed the thread since the last alert. This reduces redundancy.

That is what I thought and have been careful to click through from every email. Ironically I have received two alerts for this thread since I posted before, and I hadn't visited the thread since then. I did unwatch and then watch again to reset it when i last posted

Remember with Cheltenham horse racing, if you back and lay different horses for all the offers - all your matched bets will balance against each other at the exchange, which reduces the liability needed at the exchange.

On smarkets last year I think my max liability was £4k but it had only used £1k of my balance

Can anyone explain to me how the accumulators work I've just put my first one on with om I used the accumulator finder and set to lay up front it came up with a William hill one estimated value 4.35 so I bet on it. Went into my profit calculator and it say I'm going to lose 20.35 how does that work.

@Steph1977, for lay at start ACCAs you really need lower odds than for Atromitos and Brugge. Without much searching around you could have done better on Peterhead, Lyon, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Chelsea, Barcelona, Dortmund,. .. I'm sure there's more :)

How does that work - it says I have a free £5 but I cant see what I need to do. Do I just play and the amount will come of that and not my other balance.

Do you mean if several bookies have a first race offer. back and lay different horses with each bookie rather than the same one?

I mean that if you have different horses for various offers in the same race - each horse will balance against each other at the exchange and reduce the overall liability needed at the exchange.
For example, an 6 runner race if you had for each bookie in 1 race:
- Bet365 - Mauve Rum,
- Skybet - Blue Road
- Betfair sportsbook - Purple Reptile
- William Hill - Orange Person
- Coral - Yellow flo
- Paddy - Green graze
All the lays would balance against each other, so the total liability would be less than if you just layed 1 horse in a particular race.

I have some BAD news for you....

Well I've been MIA a bit as MB kinda dropped off my radar for a while - but new year, new money! Plus Cheltenham isn't too far away and I gotta get prepped for that as it's always a nice little earner for me - and looking further forward to the World Cup, I need to get my betting profile back in order :D

Good to be back :D

Sadly I've slacked with my blog just as much as my Matched Betting, so it's also on my to-do list to breath some new life into it, haha!
