Hmm to do the B*O start up offer or to avoid (£50 bonus/ 35x wag) is today's question! Has anyone had any success with it? Read mixed things about their slots.

My very first slots win was from BGO free spins, my biggest to date - over £200 from Top Gun. I persevere with them but the last two deposit offers I've lost my whole deposit and bonus as the wagering is so high even on Jack Hammer when theoretically I should have profited. VARIANCE. It kills me.

I would say if you're okay losing £25 for the chance to profit go for it, you might get lucky, but it's likely you'll lose it.

Is this a joke?

Haha! I'd post a yacht picture but I can't find one smaller than the little matchbox yachts I posted the other day

What are you going to spend the 5p on?

Anybody do accas regularly here? I'm still in the 'paper bet' stage using the spreadsheets, learning the process. It seems fairly straightforward so far. Trying to work out a strategy to get best earnings from these. Anyway, a question if I may. One thing I've noticed using the spreadsheet which gives you percentages relating to different scenarios (one loser from a five/sixfold, two losers etc.) is that the 'one loser' scenario - which is usually what is required to get the bonus it seems - is usually around 35/40% for five/six fold. My maths isn't the best, but does that basically mean that out of every 10 accas you do with a 35/40% chance of only one loss, that roughly 4 out of 10 would trigger a bonus?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't pay much attention to the percentages which are based on odds, which are based on money in the market.... England started off at odds of 5.0+ to beat Germany yet won. football... Anything can happen.

Therefore what you want to do (in my opinion) is lock in profit regardless. You know you are guaranteed a refund if only one match loses. The spreadsheet therefore tells you what to lay to ensure you profit whether you get the refund or not. This means 100% of the time you can guarantee up to 25% of your stake back as profit.

That's how I play them

OK, thanks If you don't mind, how many do you do a week roughly speaking? I'm looking to make about £30 a week from MB, with acca's a part of that. At least until I can build my bank up above £700.

£30 a week is easily doable. Most of that can come from reloads, never mind the accas. I make around £40-£80 a week without doing regular accas and only occasional casino stuff.

Has anyone seen this...

if you haven’t done so already.
Wager a minimum of £50 on ‘Game 1’ or ‘Game 2’, or both on the specified day below to qualify for 30 Free Spins worth £0.20 the next day if that game wins.
Wager a further £250 ‘Game 1’ or ‘Game 2’, or both on the specified day below to qualify for 50 BIG Spins worth £1 the next day if that game wins.
The game with the highest pay-out percentage for that day will be declared the winner and all players, meeting the above requirements, on that game will be credited with their 30 Free Spins and 50 BIG Spins the next day by 18:00 CET.

Am I right in thinking you only get free spins if the games wins? So you could wager £300 and get no spins?

Don't mind you asking at all - I do zero a week at the moment haha. I would say if you want to make £30 a week do: Sky Bet Club, goals mean more on 888, paddy power in play weekend bets and WH bets and other free bet offers first as they're much faster than accas in terms of return for your time.

MACHINE GUN UNICORN

30 quid up from Mecca offer last night - 35 quid up from Costa offer today - all the fours and all that shite

 

[StopdropNroll]

Argh, made my first mistake! Was trying to bet on the ROI Slovakia game on a draw. Stupidly I layed it on the exchange before placing the bet and when I try to place the bet for £50 it only let's me place £33. I've spoken to live chat and they said that £33 is the max you can bet on those odds (didn't really understand that).

Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just have to pray they don't draw.

So pissed off - I normally have both bets up on separate screens before I place them but was distracted by a 2 yr old pretending to be a crab!

My only profits from slots have all been with BGO and the sign up netted me £158..my biggest win to date.

You might be able to place two separate back bets (£33 and £27) on the bookies. Otherwise use another bookies to make up the shortfall so you don't lose out

Thank you!!! Managed to do it but in the process managed to place a bloody bet on the Northern Ireland game too but have layed that so hopefully won't be too far down! No more betting for me today!

don't worry, I sunk £30 into a slot offer tonight, lost £20 odd and forgot to even bloody Opt In before I started wagering and have basically lost £20 for not even a sniff at the bonus!

Argh! Glad I'm not the only one who makes mistakes!

I've not braved any casino offers yet, think I'll need you lot to talk me through it all first. I was going to give it a go this evening but after today's cock ups I think I'll leave it till tomorrow! Especially as the two year old is still bloody awake - keeps taking her sleeping bag off so I've taken it off her and told her she can go to sleep with out it!!

Another alternative if in same situation again , cash out exchange for small loss and relay correct amount.

 

[Queen]

simple to cash out in betfair but not in smarkets as I found out the other day lol

 

[SimonP]

Just made £40 on the Slingo loophole. Pain in the arse doing hundreds of spins but getting profit helps. A lot of people have made more than me but profit is profit.
