@Jon - regarding your post yesterday 'Skybet have got a nice £20 risk free offer on the first race at goodwood on Tuesday '
I found it OK on the Sky site but when I went onto Betfair to prepare the lay bet I noticed that Tuesdays racecard was not available. It is available today but now the Skybet promotion have gone. What should I have done to take advantage of the promotion?

Also - I never saw this promotion on PA. Is that something that happens a lot?
It's on PA under 'coming soon' that's why you can't see it. If you click on that tab in the reloads section you will see it.

the racecard will be there on betfair for you to use on Tuesday morning ;)

@Jon -But the promotion has now gone from Sky (or it has for me). So are you saying I should have placed the Skybet side of the bet yesterday and then placed the lay bet as soon as it appeared on Betfair even though that could be 1 or 2 days apart. Is this a valid way of doing it?

I shouldn't worry it is still there. If you go to the race itself the offer is there.

You might want to check your emails if you're signed up with Guts - they've got a deposit for free spins thing on with no wagering. Got myself a nice bit of extra cash out of it :)

I have just come back to matched betting after about 18 months. Trying to start back up with a few reloads and mugs. I did one sign up offer - racebets - and have been gubbed while trying to use the welcome bonus. Great start

How are they allowed to do that?

I haven't done many 2ups before - they never seemed to work out for me - but after seeing how much people were making from them during the WC, I think I'm going to try again this season!

I made zero from 2ups in the world cup. I always seemed to be on the team that was on the wrong side of the 2 goals. I did better in the premiership and champs league so hopefully will get some luck back for the new season.

Can anyone please help me with a bet I’ve layed that’s only partially matched? It’s with smarkets. Shows I’ve layed £20.02 but only 8.48 has matched. Odds have jumped from 23 to 43!! I know I can work out with the calculator how to relay at higher odds with the part lay completed but if I click the Red Cross next to bet on smarkets will it cancel the whole bet or only the unmatched portion? I would send a screenshot but I can’t figure out how to upload here x

Smarkets will only cancel the unmatched portion of the bet. If the event is a while away the odds may come back in anyway.

Race is 18:50 so should I wait? I wasn’t sure if I cancelled whether whole thing would cancel so that’s good. Thanks.

This is an entirely personal decision, but if it were me I would probably wait (if it is a free bet I would definitely wait - PS. unless you do place bets regularly at such big odds then such high odds for a free bet is going to stick out a lot)

Thank you. No it’s not a free bet was just £10 I had left in the account I was trying to use and that had been the closest odds.

So we know 2up is back at B365. Have any other bookies published any football offers for the new season yet? Particularly I'm interested to see what accumulator offers are around this year.

One thing I have noticed recently is there has been a rise in the number of offers relating to selecting your own bet combinations that can't be easily laid. I hope the trend doesn't continue. You might get a free bet but only if there are 3 goals, 5 corners, 2 yellow cards and that guy from Sutton United eats another pie. Try laying that on smarkets.
