As soon as sport starts again I get confused. The Betfair offer says bet on the Exchange. Is that right - not the sportsbook. And in that case which price to you bet on - the left/blue box or right/pink box.

Thanks. Sorry to ask another question. Does that not mean I am betting against it on Betfair then against on another exchange. If it loses I lose both times?

Has anyone heard any more on Matchbook? They are still coming up on the oddsmatcher but their website is still temporary suspended in UK

SkyBet £10 refund as cash if your horse finishes 2/3 or 4th on the 13:50 Newbury if anyone fancies it!

Must be due to the data provider, the matched betting company should switch that feed off for UK users. Or just ignore them. Not sure when MB will be back, were great for horses and cricket!

Sorry I wasn't online to answer that question earlier. I hope it worked out ok. If you did £20 in the blue box on Betfair & then laid on another exchange (the right sided box) only one outcome can win. Hopefully you did this & got a £20 free bet?

Thanks - the advice was great. It worked so I now have a free bet :)

I've been back on this for the past week and made £100, which is very nice. However, the constant innaccuracy of the oddsmatcher is starting to annoy me. It had a horse at 17.0 with PAddypower - I checked and it never was 17.0 according to the odds history. I'd say 9/10 times the odds are different from what it states. I get that's going to happen sometimes, particularly close to race time (this wasn't) but it's so regular.

PA, although it used to happen at OM too unless that's changed in the last year?
PA Oddsmatcher has always been rubbish (IMHO) and was the main reason I use OM instead (I trialled both in parallel at the beginning of my MB journey and had PA for the tutorials but OM for the Oddsmatcher and tools). Once you have finished the tutorial part of your MB journey it is difficult to justify the additional cost of PA as you get more for less money with OM.

I have £700 at smarkets and £500 at Betfair with about £400 to play with elsewhere so it was just a standard arb for about £6 IIRC, and not a bet at all of course. I'm already free bet and promotion limited at PP so I don't care if they ban my account. Funny thing is, they limited my account ages ago despite me having a clear losing record with them. I never understood why it happened to begin with.

I'm far past tutorials. I've done all the offers that I consider worth doing over a year ago and I'm pretty much arbing with all the bookies I don't care about after retuning to matched betting. Especially with the 0% commision currently at Smarkets.
