Matched Betting Discussion [OT] Discussion about Matched Betting II {Beginners Guide in 1st Post}

[Jon]

Am I misreading the Sky offer as explained on PA? It says to calculate the initial bet as SNR. Does that mean the same as when placing a normal bet? I can understand how a profit is shown with an actual free bet but this does not seem to be taking into account the £10 that has to be staked.

Instructions on OM are

Strategy: Place a £10 bet on any horse in the 13:30 Cheltenham on Tuesday 15th March. Lay the selection in Risk Free Bet mode (Free Bet Stake = £10, Free Bet retention = 100%). If your bet wins you are in profit, if it loses you will receive a £10 cash refund within 24 hours.

I think it’s because it’s cash and there is no free bet to follow

Daily £1 free placepots for Cheltenham on the Tote are available. Just done mine

I'm gubbed from all the major bookies now apart from Bet 365 (touch wood). Can people recommend any of the lessor well known, smaller bookies that are worth signing up to that have reoccurring offers? Until now I've avoided most of the small fry but running out of options now if I want to carry on matched betting.

Hi! Geriatric member of TMS and the matched betting thread returning! I have been matched betting for 5-6 years now and made almost £20,000. Average income is £300 a month part time, I rarely do 2up which can be lucrative.

anyway have you signed up to Matchbook? Their offer through Profit Accumulator has 0% commish plus a £20 free bet recently plus they seem to email regular fb offers. And they’re an extra exchange to use.

Also do you have Virgin and Livescore? They have an acca offer you can do weekly.

And finally - casino offers are meant to be LUCRATIVE. £3k a year.

That Tote offer is not guaranteed profit due to the unknown Tote odds. However, it's still potentially +EV.

You can lay it! If you lay the favourite close to the off and use the lowest odds on Oddschecker you can at least reduce the risk.

I know the tv adverts may all be pushing Rachael Blackmore repeating her success at the Grand National next Saturday but I just can’t see it happening!

Marathonbet have sent me an email telling me that due to the situation in Europe their U.K arm is being suspended.
I wonder if they're being sanctioned! Although all their other European licences will be operating normally.
Doesn't affect me one bit nowadays. Haven't used them for years, since my stakes were rather drastically reduced.
Wouldn't be surprised if they don't reopen to U.K. bettors.

I got that email too. I have withdrawn my funds. Rarely use them these days. Odds used to be good but they haven't been so good recently.

I only had 3 quid with them so just punted it on Palace to win tonight. Lets see what happens....

I wonder why they are suspending services in the UK but still keeping their European websites operational?

 

[Jon]

I'm sure last year the bet365 (was it £125 or £75 offer?) didn't get revealed until the Thursday

Yes I think it was Thursday. Bet £250 and get £125 back as cash immediately after placing your win & e/w bets.

 

[Lemonade23]

I've had a free £5 bet for the weekend from Bet365

Yes likewise for the City vs Liverpool match.

 

[Jon]

IT'S BACK!!!!

 

[Jon]

By my math that's an easy £80+ profit

 

[cofito]

IT'S BACK!!!!
