what is a win single? is it a straight win for example in a football match?
There are wagering requirements on a free bet i have and it says to be placed on a win single- can i place this on a draw, match odds, over/under or does it have to be a straight win/lose thing?

thanks

It just means that you have to bet on the outcome of one event (a single) and not put it in a double/treble/other -fold of acca.

Hello, I have done the qualifying bet and now I am trying to do it with the free 20 but looking for matches with odds above 4 in the oddsmatching, its only showing 6 event with not too good numbers.

Anyone could give me any advice please?

 

[Uhhhhh]

[member=6373]artu123[/member] It's because it's mid-week so there's not as much high profile stuff happening as there is at the weekend...and also, correct me if I'm wrong, but whilst you're doing the unpaid trial with PA you don't get a fully updated oddsmatcher - I think it's only refreshed every 30 minutes or something?

I'd wait until the weekend to use your free bet, when there's a lot more going on. CHECK what date your free bet expires though! If you want to get it used today then you can check matches manually using the PA calculator - have a look at games tonight, put in the odds and calculate your lay stake.

You can get great matches from odds at 3.5, don't follow the advice of PA and go for silly high odds.

Thank you for the advice [member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] My free bet expires on 05/03/2017, this sunday, do you think there will be more options on saturday? I was about to lose my nerves :'( almost ready to go for the horse with 6 - 6.2

Edit: shouldnt those matches be showed by PA? I mean, thats what it does....? If not, why do they charge?

yes they would show [member=6373]artu123[/member] but you are on the free trial with a delay and like @Uhhhhh says I'm not sure it shows everything

also you pay for a MBing service to be spoonfed all the offers etc.

 

[artu123]

So looking for them manually wont make anysense right? If they are not showing its because there isnt exist. I have filtered the oddsmatching above 3.5 instead 4 and there is some more results

What do you guys think should I do? :-\ [member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] [member=1]Jon[/member]

Edit: Ok, so we are not sure if with the free trial they show all possibles matches.

 

[Jon]

2nd one down should be OK I would have thought

 

[artu123]

Do you mean Celta Vigo v Espanyol? If yes, the bet 3.5 back odds is for Draw, shouldnt it be for the win? and then loss-draw on Betfair?

 

[Jon]

it can be for anything

in this case it's a draw

So put the correct numbers into the calculator remembering to set it to SNR

and then on coral you bet that the game is going to be a draw and on betfair exchange you lay the match being a draw

job done

 

[artu123]

Hmmm I see....I think I am starting to get on it. Thanks guys!

After falling of the face of the earth and doing absolutely no match betting for months (also spending what was in the pot as I went) I finally decided to check my accounts. IVE LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY SPREADSHEET I'm pretty sure my password is correct but it's not accepting it..so... I have 4 £25 top goal scorer bets still going, which I've not claimed the free bets for for months either and decided to check out them. I can remember PP, Betfair & PokerStars but not the fourth! Argh! Please help? Who else did a free bet offer when you bet on the top goal scorer last August?

After being gubbed from paddypower's promo's some time ago I've found renewed strength through their shops and the acca 5 insurance!! Realising that coupons are renewed every Monday and Wednesday placing Acca's on the midweek coupon the euro early coupon and the weekend coupon bring in the same results!! I've had a couple of free bets since plus making the normal profit when having two losers. Also being gubbed/restricted by Ladbrokes their acca 5 coupon brings similar results although not as good as PP!!! Happy days

you can if you go into a shop I have today placed an acca with an estimated profit of £2.20 but what i find is that as the games aren't until Saturday some prices will drop now its a chance you either want to take or not but i just keep an eye on them another thing is depending on your bank and lads seem to have a shop on every corner you can place multiple bets in shops. This of course all depends on you placing the bet early ie today when the coupons are released or Mondays for midweek Also Lads are not as good as Paddy this week's midweek wasn't worth it for example

[member=6373]artu123[/member] Did you get it sorted? Sorry I wasn't much help earlier, I was running between classes and did't have much time to reply!

I'm pretty sure that the oddsmatcher you get on the trial with PA is only refreshed intermittently (maybe every 30 minutes or so) and doesn't give you the full range of matches - once you pay then you will have one that is up to date. I don't use PA so I can't vouch for it myself, but certainly if you do end up paying for their service and see an issue with the oddsmatcher then you should be able to tag a mod on the forum and they can help you to find a match.

You always lay the SAME outcome as what you back - so if you did go for the draw in the Celta Vigo game on Coral, then on Betfair you lay the draw also.

If you're still looking for a match and want some help then give me a shout and I'll find one manually for you ;D

 

[Uhhhhh]

ooh I just made a ROOKIE mistake last night!!

Used a £5fb to back Real Betis and then accidentally laid the draw at Smarkets (liability of £9.50) in err. Real Betis, amazingly, won. So - my bets won at both the bookies and at the exchange, so I made £20 profit from a £5fb. Now, if it had actually been a draw then I'd have been down by £9.50 so it was a very lucky mistake on my part - also bearing in mind that if it was a free bet of more than £5 then the liability would have been much higher and I could have potentially made a hefty loss!!

ALWAYS CHECK YO' BETS, GUYS!!

 

[artu123]

Thank you for offering your help [member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] I solved it, following the advice of Jon I went for the 3.5 - 3.65 and now according to the match and go spreadsheet I am waiting for 13.03 profits. I hope everything is allright. I am waiting now for the stakes to do the second one ;D

So do you search by yourself all the offers??

 

[Uhhhhh]

Great stuff [member=6373]artu123[/member] !

I use the oddsmatcher of a different service for a lot of my matches, but I find a lot manually also - tbh it's much quicker to use the oddsmatcher whilst your new to it and if you want to get a quick match.

Stick with football for now, until your accounts are more established and you're more experienced. Lots of games on at the weekends
