Well done, but I feel many others will have this too. It's Liverpool v Man City.

Probably, but it's been a couple of months since my last one

Wow had my BF account closed and spent an hour and a half arguing to get it back. Seems if you close an account with one of their subsidiaries then BF might close you too. Beware! Very relieved....

Unless you are doing significant volumes with BF it doesn't make too much sense to use them for MB anyway. Even if you don't get the 0% deals from subscribing to OM or PA, the commission rates at Smarkets and Betdaq are a lot less.

I use them for trading so the higher volume of liquidity is essential.

I'm using Betfair as my main exchange. 2% commission.
Also use Smarkets, but no where near as much.
Matchbook wanted my i.d and card docs. After sending them they further requested a photo with me holding i.d next to my face, so I decided I could manage without them. there are limits to which I am prepared to go.

If you are with OM (don't know about PA) you can get 0% with Betdaq. Their site is very similar to BF so is useful if you are used to BF.

Is everyone doing the goals thing on Bet365? Not a big earner but I keep getting a couple of quid in free bets when I remember to do it.

Yeah. Although its a bugger remembering to log in and do it each day though. I usually only get 50p or a pound most weeks. But it helps pay for biscuits so its all good.

I do the predict 6 scores thing as well at the beginning of the week but have never won anything off that so far

I am, and I have a reminder in my Calendar to make sure I do it every day. Max I have got is £7.50.

It will be a sad day when I lose bet365, one of very few ungubbed books I have left.
Yesterday they refunded a losing horse bet (laid, of course) for no reason I could determine. A gesture of goodwill the email said, but no further details.
Today, a horse I back/laid @5.5/5.3 drifted in market but won race and I was paid at odds 9.5!
No loyalty bonus this week but I have a £5 free bet for Cheltenham Sunday.
So, on the whole, a good week for me due mainly to this account.

Same here, my cricket punts got me a free fiver on the T20 final so it's definitely based on the sports you're interested in

Unibet have a boost - kane to win golden boot 13.0
I was allowed £1.27
Shortly afterwards they sent an email :
" Following an affordability review we’ve taken the decision to apply a Loss Limit Cap of GBP5000 per calendar month to your account."

Seems to be a lack of World cup offers around at the moment. Or am I just missing them all?

There is a list on OM which is quite long but the offers are pretty paltry to be honest, and some of the (slighly) better offers are with small bookmakers. Some offers from the bigger ones are :

Bet365 has it's 2UP offer on every match (not usual for tournaments so an upside if you do that offer)
Betfred - has a Bet £10 - Get £5 Free Bets for each goal your Top Goalscorer bet gets and a £10 Risk Free PickYourPunt on England v Iran
Paddy Power have a similar top goalscorer offer but it is £1 per goal AND shot on target and a £2 free betbuilder on England vs Iran
Skybet have a £1 (or more if you are a big customer) buildabet on England vs Iran, and have a free shootout game with bonuses. they also have their own version of 2UP but the odds are worse than Bet365 (and those are generally not that good anyway)

I have just made a quick video of how I won over £30 before a ball was kicked in the Manchester City and Swindon game.

If you like this video, please do subscribe to me, it would mean a lot. I will continue to post betting strategies that I have tested and researched.

How I Made £11.82 In The West Ham vs Norwich Game Before Kick Off?​

Betfair are starting to give me free casino offers again, just the free Pinball/free spins sometimes. Low win probability but easy to do and you never know I don't usually get them as I pay the lowest commission.

 

[homie]

Bet365 4/1 offer seems to have ended.

No decent football freebies from them in ages either.

Do you not do the bet builder offers? They are worth a shot at the bore draw refund offer when you back a WDW & correct score combo.
