On the subject of gubbing, has anyone experienced a “return of benefits/free bets etc” from one of the big bookies, if so how long did it take and did you mug or just ignore?

You suggest what the lay price should be and how much you will spend on it and it's up to other users if they want to take your offer.

I don't have any experience of it so can't recommend or not.

I've not seen that before. Is it not that there is no money in the lay market at that time?

Yes, it means there is no money available to lay at the moment. i.e no one wants to back that player. You can set the price you want to lay it at and you will see it pop over to the green side ready for someone to bet on.

You could go a little higher than the bet that is there, if that's acceptable to you, and hope it gets matched or look for a different market with more liquidity.

In your screenshot Sanchez is available to back at 6.0 and there is nothing yet to lay. You could try entering 6.2 which might encourage someone to take the bet. As an aside if you look to the left of the prices for Sanchez you can see a little 6 in a grey box. This is the last price that got matched, which tells us people have been taking 6.0 so you could make you lay at 6.0 and it will queue up behind the money that is already available at that price.

This particular market looks either very new or not widely used so I would either look for a better event for your bet or come back later and see if there is more liquidity.

The 4:10 at Chelmsford isn't an extra place race, so unless the odds change there is no money to be made on that race and it would indeed be a 37p loss.

Hi Max. Yes, green will give you a guaranteed profit. Not sure how far you are into your matched betting journey but if not far you would be better advised to concentrate on standard sign up and reload offers first before doing EW and extra places. In fact lots of people only turn to extra places as a last resort after being gubbed. I don't find them very lucrative myself.

Hi, many thanks for your reply and advice, I'm going to ask another....This sounds to me to be a little out there, but here goes...The Extra Place Offers and Each Way bets !! OK so I place a E/W bet on a Horse, this covers the win and the places yep, then I go and lay the win bet off say at smarks, then lay the place bet of again at smarks.
Now if the bookmakers are giving a extra place on this race, I'm thinking if the horse comes in 1st or a place I've lost a small amount yep, does the profit gain only come if this said horse comes in this extra place, but then on saying that I've not laid this extra place off yep...I did tell ya it was a little out there..lol
I'd love to move onto the horse refunds and extra place bets, but as ya know Max Power he's only got the 2 strands of hair..As ever mega thanks for your time and any help/advice...Max

Basically with extra places you make your money if a horse you have backed comes in that extra place because then both your bookie Back bet wins AND your Lay bet pays out.

For it to be effective, you kinda have to take a scattershot approach - you go around all the bookies offering extra places on a particular race and ideally back a different horse at each bookie to cover as many options of hitting the extra place as you can. You will take small QL's on everything but when the extra place eventually lands you make a chunk which covers all your QL and then profit on top.

I'm with Homie on this one though in that while money can (obviously) be made on extra places, it's pretty hard work/can be time consuming so I prefer to spend my time elsewhere on different offers. In fact, I'd chase BoG offers over Extra Places.

I would just do straight up horse refunds rather than each way offers if it was me

seems to all be about the horse offers today due to the FA Cup games.

Don't forget ladbrokes have got a £10 free bet on the 15:00 at Sandown
