anyone brave enough to do the £200 for £100 bonus WH Slot offer?

Not me - it's a loophole, so I'm steering well clear as WH is one I want to keep!

I thought it was only a loophole IF you do what PA is saying in terms of using a different slot

Ah right, yeah, sorry, I just assumed that's what you meant by being brave hehe.

Still not touching though - £3000 wagering req is just too rich for my blood, especially considering they're recommending Lucky Duck which is technically a Scratchcard. That darn duck has spanked me on the last 2 'wager £25, get £5' offers.

THIRD TIME LUCKY on risk free paddy kicker bets - two weeks on the trot bloody Liverpool have thrown away a 2 goal lead meaning no £. Today West Ham win by 3 and I get a £37.50 profit so I am CHUFFED.

My very last horse of the day won on Betfair which meant a free bet. Put it on straight away - NO MESSING this time! They only have a 2 day expiry for anyone doing BFSB refunds. Got £8 from a double in the bank. Bish bash bosh.

Did the £40 wagering on Sky casino - all live blackjack £1 hands, took forever! - ended up £8 up with a £5 FB.

Managed an inadvertent Arb similar to [member=2607]stonecrows[/member], saw a close match for my rollover and threw £100 on it JUST before the back odds dropped by about 2.5! Made £1.75 from the lay and best of all the bet lost so exchange is healthy and nearing the end of that rollover.

after a really crappy month, ended on a high - here's to May! And the bet 365 rollover....

Well April wasn't as good as March (think mainly due to Cheltenham) but brought in £207 from MB (going forward with £14 in Free bets so good start to May) so still £207 more than I would have if I didn't do it

Targets for May are to learn how to do Accumulators & Horse Racing refunds properly.

As always thanks for everyone's help - learning but slowly!

Just jumped onto Match Catcher to check matches for today, found some pretty insane matches on Will Hill for today so dumped the £60 I had on WH onto Newmarket today, hoping at least one of them hits. Also jumped on one on BFSB and made a massive £1! on a WH free bingo offer. Good start to the day, now to do my SkyBet for the week and a GMM on today.

 

[Jon]

yesterday I did Coral and bet365 for channel4 races

Today I am doing BFSB and Skybet

Got my horsey refund from Coral in and should get some more free spins on BF vegas later on for wagering through £1000 last month

 

[Jon]

Well i've started the month by making a pretty big mistake

I thought I had laid a horse on BFSB when I hadn't and now the odds are miles apart

I need the horse to lose now this afternoon or else I will lose £60

ugghh

good to see I still make mistakes nearly a year into this lol

 

[stonecrows]

Horses lose more than they win, so fingers crossed, Jon.

I was hoping to do the 188 Leicester refund but the matches are poor, can only do Correct Score or HT/FT and the odds aren't close. They might get better before the match starts, hope so anyway.

So yesterday ran at a loss, hopefully today will bring the profits. It's hard when you have a day of losses, even when you know they're all qualifiers or mugs, much nicer to be able to put the results of some FBs into the spreadsheet. Man C and Leicester need to chuck a lot of goals in for my GMM, not least because my 888 bets are on the unders market and so I need lots of goals to make the bets lose.

 

[Jon]

Woohoo

The horse that I laid and didn't bet on my accident DIDNT win and has got me some extra money

And the horse that I DID bet on to come first won and has got me a free bet on BFSB

my second horses refund of the weekend with more to come!!!

I just made a mistake too, doing the Ladbrokes in play on Man U v Leicester to get a £10 FB IP later, was scrambling about and found a nice wee QL of only about 60p, but accidentally typed my lay bet as £29.20 instead of £19.20 LOL... So am hoping Man U don't win and all will be well, PLUS got the double odds going on 1-1 in this game too... so I am desperately swilling ref to blow for full time now hehe

Decided to do the WH scratchcard offer today.
I used the £5 cards and ended up with £60 profit and the £5 bonus still to come

YAY. Winner winner! My score prediction was 1-1, I was going to go for that but played it safe with the draw.....! I've put my £25 fb's on already. Sensibly this time....! If the horse loses I'll get £20 back (80% return) and if it loses I'll get just under £35 from the £25 free bet. Without a crazy liability for leg 2.

If I had put a sensible second leg on my £40 fb I would have got £78 return after the horse won, underlaying leg 1 in the same way... I have learned a LOT the hard way in April and I'm starting May all fresh - different techniques, a lot more care, and hopefully have a good month.

Today went well... 1x £10 horse refund, £25fb from double winnings... and I got SP on a horse that won, but I had laid a lower price, so I made £10.50 profit from that too.

I'm still chuffed from West Ham's 3-0 yesterday netting me a £47.50 return from my £10 kicker bet!

OH [member=1315]Pbrail[/member] you'll like this... or not... I put a crazy 10 fold 50p acca on yesterday.... some £327 return... would you believe ONE LEG lost...!!!!

 

[snowball]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but is has anyone had problems with Betfair? I opened an account yesterday and placed a lay bet, today they have closed my account due to security reasons. Not a good start to matched betting!!

Are you sure it's closed and they're not just asking for ID? (This is fairly standard as bookies are ripe for money laundering, I've had to do it for 3-4 bookies already and I've really not done a huge amount of sign ups) - in which case you just need to send along the ID and they'll re-open the account.

 

[Jon]

They are just asking for ID

go on live chat if you can get to it

Just done same - not as good as you but £16 winnings is fine by me!

 

[snowball]

I have been on to live chat and they said my account is closed permanently. I sent them a email and they have said I have multiple accounts with them. I have never opened an account with them before. Looks a bit strange to me. I have sent them another email to say I have never opened up an account with them before. Seems a bit strange!!
