Price boost on Unibet for the mens Australian Open Winner.

Djokovic boosted to 2.2
https://www.unibet.co.uk/betting#/group/2000092108/category/0

Lay at 1.79
https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/aus/#/tennis/market/2.101197660

Note: You have to move the liability money into the Australian wallet, e.g if you put £20 on at 2.2/1.79 move £19.98 into the Aus wallet.

I've only done a £20 bet, not sure what max bet is, bet will settle on 31st Jan.

Just logged onto pp for the first time in weeks to find several offers asking me to come back, some have unfortunately expired. But also got one saying they are excluding me from the football bet £20 get £10 in play. That's a shame.

Had an email giving me a free £5 Vegas bet on Winner so accepted it, first issue, it also locked in my existing £3 AND it was a 30x wager, decided to just give it a go.

First 100 spins at 25p and I was up £20 so decided to up to 50p spins. Second 100 spins took me down about £10 so was down to around £15. Kept on the 50p spins and hit the below one to take me to £35 up. After the full 30x wagering I was up £30, makes up for the vast quantities I've lost on their bingo slots!

I hit 3 of the free spins bonuses and 5 of the other bonuses, felt like I was very lucky during these spins, I always seem to get on well with Frankie :)

Just did the amazon offer on Will Hill, ended up busting out my £20, however not really sure how many free spins I have coming, the bonus round kept coming up 1/2 way through the auto spin and I'm not sure where it got to, I THINK I'll get 30 but not sure. The slot however was rubbish, I hit a bonus round at one point and won nothing on the free spins.

£23 down on it... 50 Spins to come... Not 1 bonus round... Did hit 1 big win for £31.50.... Could have been so much worse though!

Interesting to see almost everyone having to paddy email today, me too. I took a lot from them in november i think, but easily had a 3:1 or more mug ratio and have placed many mugs since then with no offers. Guess we'll see what happens this weekend. Oh well.

I am new and only on my 2nd offer. Today I have placed a bet to use a BetFred, free £30 offer. I have placed my lay bet on Betfair but it says it's unmatched. I now don't know what to do. I don't know how to tell if the whole bet is unmatched or not. It looks like it is all unmatched. I have bet on the Southampton vs West Brom football match tomorrow. I have backed West Brom at odds of 6 on both. I know that this kind of thing sometimes resolves itself, but as a newbie I'm now terrified that I'm going to lose my £126.05 that is currently in BetFair. I am hoping you can answer in time! The football match is a 3pm on Sat 16th.

Thanks

Post back here if by 2pm it's still not matched; it almost certainly will be. Plenty of time yet so don't worry

Done a PRETTY SWEET double with my £20 fb. Expected £16.50 return with both odds <3.75. That's using Smarkets, if I laid in Betfair it would take my 83% return down to 79%, around £0.75 less. Add that up over multiple bets over weeks and months and that's a pretty significant difference.

I prefer the betfair website but the 2% commission on Smarkets just comes out as a winner for me.

With a high enough amount of bets you can get Betfair down to 2% I just dread to think how many bets a week would need to be placed!

I'm currently running at 4.7%

Personally on a free bet if happily take the lay at 6.2.... Even when betting I would... It's not very often you can always get even back and lay...

The difference profit wise is only about 80p less if you laid it off at 6.2

Also in betfair make sure you always click 'view full market' before placing the lay bet. The figure underneath the odds tells you how much money is there. If it's equal or greater than your STAKE (not liability) then it'll be matched. If it's not then try higher odds or wait a while or just do another matched bet entirely.

[member=143]auntygeek[/member] how soon did you start mugging after you started your MB? I'm only on the 4th offer on the beginners board but aware it's something I will have to start sooner or later.

Two schools of thought:

1) do all the signups first and don't worry about mugs yet. Make sure you mug plenty before starting reloads
2) mug as you go along, so by the time you've finished the signups you can start reloads for the bookies you signed up to at the beginning.

I've been doing 2). I've mugged on Saturdays and midweek premier league matches and tried to avoid the offers they email me (!) - sometimes I end up qualifying for a free bet anyway lol. This means when I come to hit the reloads hard in a couple of weeks I'll have a whole month of steady premiership mug betting behind me.

I tend to place an extra mug at sign up. So say an offer is deposit £10 and get £30 free bets. I'll deposit £20 and place the qualifier AND a mug on sign up. Then when I get the free bet I'll place the free bet AND a mug. That way they see you placing a couple of bets at once every time and you can start to build up a profile.
