[member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] Divide the odds by 4

Assuming it's Goonyella (which I also had), for me I took him at 20-1 which is 21.0 decimal.

So for every £10 on him, you'd get £60 (£50 winnings + £10 stake, so will be less if an SNR bet)

Ahhh I got £30 profit from my £10 fb EW on Last Samurai! That was the refund I got earlier for like 70p loss.

So thrilled with 1st place in the sweepstake too! :)

How did you do [member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] !!!?

I had £25 on Goonyella at 21.00 too, so..does that mean I should have £125 extra?

I did pretty much as expected, I'm £15 down. This is why I don't gamble, I just don't profit! I'm happy enough, it was within what I budgeted for and I've managed to do start off the horses on a few sites now.

Annoyingly, my Goonyella was at WH, which only paid out to 4 places, just typical! Could have had it on Lads or elsewhere for around the 20.0 mark.

Well I'm not sure yet! I locked in £75 from bet365 earlier (spread over 5 horses) and one of my horses came fifth so I get some extra money (because bet365 pay 5 places and Betfair pay 4) but I'm really not sure how much extra that is! My Ultimatcher decided to go tits up this morning so I've written everything down by hand and I'm going to download a fresh version to start over so I need to get everything through there and figure it out once the bets are settled.

That's the only offer I did - I put my free £5 from Stan James on an EW bet (unlaid) but my horse fell so nothing there.

Oh and the £20 from the Sweepstake of course! SOOO pleased for your win!!

Can't wait to see everyone's totals when everything starts settling ;D

[member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] Yes, £125 + stake sounds right :)

My Ultimatcher just seems to have slowly given up this past week and I can't figure out what the problem is.

It was working perfectly fine for months until last week when it started saying I hadn't input all of the necessary data until I saved the document (had to do that every time I so much as entered a number or was trying to process a pending bet) and now it's not working at all.

When I try to place a bet...

Anyone have an idea?

So when did that new odds matcher go live, the old one was better.

Very recently... I think they're mid upgrade. The 'Advanced' odds matcher with filtering by sport and time of event was rubbish imho, this looks better than that so I hope they make an improvement to it.

Is the Match Catcher actually going to have an EW calculator in it or was that just a rumour??

[member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] do you know what your stake was on Betfair?

Anyone using match catcher? Is it worth or just a quick route to another gubbing

I use it every Saturday

It makes me a good amount each weekend doing the channel 4 racing refunds

It means that bets take me seconds to do and save me ooodles doing the qualifying alone...

I don't use it outside of that

I wrote a review on the blog

I've been having a little trial via Jon and tbh it's no different to watching the odds yourself and jumping when they match. Except you set alerts and then make the bet when the QL is low.

I think you'd have to limit to Saturday c4 races, build up a mug profile slowly and start with small stakes. If you spread around multiple bookies offering refunds then hopefully you only be having a free bet every few weeks per bookie which isn't too bad imho.

Especially if you put big football bets on poor prices to even it out...

It's anyone's guess with mugging isn't it really I guess...

[member=143]auntygeek[/member] I managed to get logged into Betfair and I've just done some sums, and I think my summary of the day is:

£74.97 from Bet365 offer, an extra £125 from Bet365 hitting 5th place and £20 from the TMS Sweepstake.

£220 for the day. Absolutely chuffed!

YAY!!!! I haven't managed to leave the £2200s yet.... Such a long slow slog!! Got a couple of Man City goals, an Everton goal, and a few other 888 fb's... Might slowly creep past there tomorrow if I can get a sign up done!

Not recording TMS sweepstake in MB winnings, that's just a treat for now :)

Nice article Jon.

I know I'm gubbed in quite a few places now so that may restrict me. I'll have a think about it but might give a trial month or so.

I only joined up for 1 month to see what it was like and write a review of it but the amount of time it saves me it's an absolute godsend!

Is anyone good with Excel?

I think I figured out the problem area - even though my banking is set to 'GBP' it's still showing the balance as dollars and the formula is already set so I don't understand how to change it. I just downloaded a new blank version of Ultimatcher and it's doing the same thing.

EDIT - I just put 2 and 2 together...last night my laptop auto-updated to Windows 10 and it's Americanified the whole thing. Even my date is showing as MM/DD/YYYY. Bloooody hell

Just totting up my total profit today but stuck £18.13 (withdrew £200 and that was what was left) on various horses on Coral earlier, one of them was an EW on Rule the World! Just taken them for another £90 after they gubbed me yesterday, feeling great about that. Can't decide if I should leave some there and keep mugging with it, or just take it and leave coral behind.
