Looking into trying out matched betting, quick question though as you mentioned about being 'gubbed'?... obviously bookies don't like people matched betting as it means the bookies are betting against each other. But whats the risks of being shut down as surely they catch on to schemes like this and see what people are betting on? if that makes any sense at all?

As Jon said, there are some pretty good threads on the PA forum (and on websites you'll find who give free information) about how to keep your accounts healthy. The biggest thing to do is mug bet (put bets on events that are not linked to offers) so you don't look like you're bonus-hunting, stick to higher profile events (Premier League/Championship/Channel 4 racing on Saturdays etc etc) and avoid obscure sports or teams, use free bets on sensible odds (3.5-4.5 and NOT 'high odds over 5-6 like PA can sometimes advise), give offers a miss sometimes (don't hammer all offers at once), avoid arbs, do in-plays and accas (the latter: either lay off or do £1-2 for funsies if you are so inclined!), read into how to put your free bets onto doubles/trebles (they are totally win-win - from a bookies perspective they give the punter bad value and also allow you to get more money from your free bets!), and don't do too much too fast.

Hi
Just a quick question. I'm thinking to not take every single joining offer but to only open the accounts which can also give good value with future reloads etc. So with this in mind if you were me and wanted to make say £50-£75 per week which are the best accounts to open? Based on weekly reload offers and aiming to make that amount per week? Thanks

I'm a bit like you in that while I've been doing this since January, I've not actually opened accounts with many bookies (I'll get there in the end, just I'm a bit of a plodder and sign up offers can be a bit boring to plod through, especially if there are wagering requirements) and I find just doing Reloads is working for me anyhow at the moment.

Paddy Power, SkyBet, 888sport (during the footie season) and William Hill are my fav's. If you're open to doing low risk casino offers (as opposed to No Risk), I'd add Ladbrokes to that as they frequently have Wager £x on slots, get £5 Free Bet type offers, Betfair (regular weekly low risk Casino/Arcade offers) and Betfred also can be pretty good.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't yet done any casino offers, do you have much success with the low risk ones?

Bet365 - regular £50 risk free offers during the football season (not sure what will happen over summer)
888Sport - Goals Mean More, hopefully they'll do it again next year.
Coral - I've made a lot from them but they gubbed me, think most of it was made during Cheltenham festival.
Paddy Power - Regular bet £20 get £10 to bet in play (quite often twice a week during football season).
Sky Bet - Skybet Club £5 for £25 worth of bets over a week (stacks with other offers), a good horse racing offer most Saturdays, good acca boosts on the premiership.
Stan James - I've made a lot from these people, can't remember doing too many of their offers. Personal favourite is the £5 acca (often anytime goal scorer or BTTS) for £5 free bet, had 2 of those win which is a nice boost.
William Hill - Can't remember most of their offers TBH, they do have quite a few Risk Free casino offers though which are nice.
BGO - Casino only, have quite a lot of "Deposit £ to get some free spins" which are risk free (you play the free spins, attempt the wagering, if you lose the free spins winnings before the wagering is done you just withdraw your original cash).

If anyone sees Novibet on the advanced signups, please read the forum posts first before you attempt. I have a bad feeling about this one.

Casino offers can sometimes test the patience of a saint. You can either do lots of offers and not really feel like you're getting anywhere, or you can get bogged down in a large wagering requirement which you plod through with no guarantee of being able to walk away with anything for your effort.

That all said, when they do pay off, they can pay off big - making it more than worthwhile. While not in any way common, it's possible to walk away with a 3 digit win in which case it's happy days :D

Personally I like the slot offers so I'm a little biased anyhow, but No Risk is a no-brainer (I got £26 from the William Hill No Risk offer on Genie Jackpots this morning), and over time, Low Risk will also pay off - you just have to be aware that there is a law of averages about them meaning you could lose money on 5 offers on the trot, then come out ahead on the 6th, so it's a much more patient game.

If you're watching every single penny it's perhaps best to stay away from Low Risk at the very start, but once you've built up your slush fund cushion then they are deffo worthwhile.

Yes money everywhere today!
So much tied up in mug bets and qualifying bets for Madrid and Sheffield matches. Will be glad when it all settles so I can see where my money is then can place my free bets tomorrow. Need them to lose into the exchange otherwise will be waiting on withdrawals to go through which I haven't had to do for a long time!

Just been looking on PA at the euro free bet offers, there are a LOT of bet £10/20... On the winner of euro 2016 and get a free bet with every win, think I need to sit down and work my way through those.

I like those ones rather than the refunds where you may not get the free bet. Least my bets from yesterday ended up in the exchange.
Just need to workout what to withdraw to my bank so I can place more bets as that is almost empty.

I'm feeling the Paddy Power loss these days. :-\

I'm getting on those Euro offers, but might wait until nearer the time. Definitely ones involving individuals eg goalscorer markets, as someone on PA pointed out that they could be injured before the Euros start and then you'd be out.

I'm doing the same for the Goalscorer ones, I'm tempted to not lay off the goalscorer ones and bet on the each way market where I can, a lot of them are 4 places each way and I suspect some of the favourites will be in that.

The Betfair New Cyustomer England Price Boost to 33/1 (just seen on twitter) = guaranteed £22-ish profit for immediate back and lay!

Amazing stuff :)
