[Uhhhhh]

Thanks Uhhhhh,

That is great, do you also do a mug for every qualifier you do? For ease of use for every free bet I do I was going to do a couple of Acca bets. Do you think that would work - or would you try and bet on similar games like you are doing for the Wales and Germany games?

Thankyou,

[member=4057]Jordan135[/member] I do a mug bet alongside the qualifier....so, when the Premier League starts again then on a Saturday if there's a "Bet £10, Get £10 fb" offer with a bookies then I'll put on the £10 qualifier (actually sometimes I will do £20 - I don't always do the 'minimum' amount, especially if it's £5 or £10) and then one or two other £10 bets on different games. The majority of offers I do are on the football and the horses so my mug bets are naturally on 'similar' types of event anyway. Stick to the bigger stuff - Premier League, Championship, Channel 4 horse racing etc. If my free bet wins at the bookies then I might do another mug, especially if it's a large amount.

Accas are a good idea to make your accounts look more muggy - plus you can sometimes hit a big win from a £1 or £2 stake. Personally I do these alongside my other mug bets. Ooh also in-play bets are also another way you can make your account look healthier.

[member=2823]katbythesea[/member] Doubles (or trebles if you can be organised enough to remember to lay when you need to!) are a great way to use your free bets. They really don't talk it up enough on PA or OM. It pretty much guarantees 80%+ return on free bets without having to go for silly high odds that look bad on your account. Also, a double or treble looks as though the customer is taking lower value so it's win-win. [member=143]auntygeek[/member] introduced me to the spreadsheet and pushed me to try them. If anyone needs the spreadsheet then message me and I can send via email ;D

Can someone explain doubles pretty please. So many times I've went for high odds with ridiculous liability amounts for the smallest profit. This is clearly the wrong way to do things.

how high are the odds you are going for with your free bets?

[member=2550]Rumcake[/member] Basically you bet on two selections at once and you need both legs to win in order for the bet to win at the bookies - everything that would have been returned from the first bet winnings is used as the stake for the second. You put the double on at the bookies (click on both selections, they go into your betslip and then you place the bet as a double) lay them one leg at a time (there is a simple spreadsheet to tell you how much to lay) and if your first leg wins at the exchange then you've made your profit and don't need to do anything else, but if your first leg WINS at the bookies then you then have to lay off the second leg.

The good thing is that both of your selections can have decently low odds (around 3.0) but you still get good value from your free bets and you don't get your account flagged by doing singles at silly odds.

Hi,

In Regards to Mug betting whats every bodies strategy? I am just working through the sign up offers at the minute - so have not done any.

I was thinking when I do - A couple of times a week I will do £1 accumulators on my account. (unlayed). And once a week do a larger bet on each of my accounts (Layed obviously).

Would this be ok?

Thanks,

I never bother mug betting as imho there are no right or wrong ways to get gubbed by bookies.dont take the Mick on the odds coz that will flag ur account.

The bonus should only have a x1 wagering requirement - anything you win while it's spinning is yours. I'm not sure if it'll expire, you could ask Live Chat to remove it, but with x1, I'd try go for it.

I think it'll be a close game unless Germany step it up a bit. I would cash out just in case, but that's me ha!

 

[Pbrail]

I think France have looked so-so this tournament - Iceland made them look good, but before that, they weren't that great imo.

Unless that match was a trigger for France to find their 'form', then Germany have been more consistent, though ofc, it's all down to those 90 minutes so anything can happen.
