I'm only a few new account into my matched betting experience but i've just discovered Paddy Powers Guaranteed Price Promise....the good way. Had a £30 free bet with them so chose to put it on Tuscon Gold at 15.35. Odds were 3.75, laid it at 4.6. However, Tuscon Golds odds rose to 6.0 and it went on to win the race. £180 in my PP account now but obviously the exchange account is down. Going to move the majority over to the exchange though.

Is this price guarantee from PP something to try and take advantage of?

Looks like no-one replied to this, a lot of bookies have this sort of thing, often called a best odds guarantee. It's better to treat it as a bonus if it does happen, rather than search for them, they happen sometimes when going for horse racing refunds.

I've signed up to Coral and Betfair and placed my back bet and lay bet, however I've not been credited my free bets in Coral. According to the video on PA this should happen immediately?

My decimal odds were 2.0, which is over the 1.5 minimum and I placed a £5 bet. I bet on the horses, which I assume counts as a sports bet?

Any ideas?

Hi Xorro, yes horses definitely counts as a sports bet. I'd wait 24 hours and then perhaps contact Coral live chat and they should then credit your free bets.

Do the PA instructions not say the minimum bet needs to be £10?

 

[Xorro]

I used this offer to sign up https://www.signupbonuses.co.uk/coral.html

Bet £1 and get £30 free bets.

No idea about that offer I'm afraid

Thanks, fingers crossed!

OK.

Here are the T&C's of the offer which I believe I've met. http://promotions.coral.co.uk/landing-pages/get-30-bet-1/

If this has all gone to pot do I sign up with another bookie to get the free bets, or wait for Coral to send me an offer?

 

[Jon]

Well the coral offer on the PA free trial is bet £5 get £20 in free bets and LOADS of people from here have just done it and got the free bet

This is literally the first I've seen of this £1 thing you found on that signupbonuses website

I would say if you don't get the coral bet then move into the next

We pay services like PA money to road test the spoon feed us offers so we don't have to worry about if things will work or not and can just plough on and earn as much money as we can from matched betting

 

[Xorro]

I know everyone does the PA offer but I just stumbled up on that sign up offer and thought it sounded good Turns out it might not be so good.

Lesson learned, now move on and earn a boat load of cash

That is a much better offer, and there are even better Coral ones available so don't be afraid to look for others rather than just the ones on PA.

If you don't get the free bets after the bet has settled, go and ask live chat and they should sort.

 

[Xorro]

OK, so moving on from Coral... I've got my £30 of free bets from signing up with Betfred, this has all be placed and countered with a laybet on Betfair - I'm quite excited!

I will make £20 so that will cover my first month on PA.

BTW, the placing of 'mug' bets to keep your bookie on side, is this just a matter of placing 'a bet' using your own cash every so often - and obviously laying it at the exchange too.

Yup spot on!

 

[Jon]

Got about £400 in horse refunds running today and also got a fair few accas in the pot as well!!

I HAD SO MUCH MONEY IN MY EXCHANGE AT THE START OF THE DAY!!!!

 

[Leeceford]

I'm getting gubbed left, right and centre at the mo. Lost Stan James yesterday.

 

[Jon]

Howwwwwww

Any ideas? Not enough mugging? Doing midweek horses too much?

 

[Leeceford]

I haven't done any midweek horses. All I can think of with them is I did their free spins offer and the bet 20 (or however much it was) and get 5 free if you win in the same day. I did an acca a week with them, which I thought they liked and did some mugs now and then.

 

[fynsgran]

Just had the Stan James gubbing email. Didn't use it much so lord knows why.

The way they worded it was as if they are doing a mass gub. Very odd, I didn't think I deserved it either.
