[OT] Discussion about matched betting

[alditoharrods]

It looks as though PP are gubbing a whole bunch of people. A bit unfair to offer a TON of football free bets then gub people! Mr FATH didn't get his free bets but he's been hammering away at horse racing without mugging (I have told him!). Gutted to lose that account I'm upping my mugging game now

 

[SimonP]

Just had a nice offer from WH.
Bet £20 or more and they will give me a free bet of £20. I still have my £50 free bet to use so that is a good bonus for only just opening the account.
I will try and make a good profit on the initial £50 fb but then only make a small profit on the new £20 offer. I think I will go for one of the obvious premier league bets so they think I am a mug lol.

I looked at the "Keeping your account" and the "Advanced Mugging" tutorials on PA today. I thought I knew what to do before seeing these and now I realise it will be more work than first thought. But I am going to try my hardest to keep all my accounts going. The thing is to watch what odds you are getting and to try and mug more than the free bets that you are taking. You can still make a profit but it is like playing a big game with the bookies lol.

 

[Stims]

I've not had any accounts closed or limited and i always take poor value bets from the bookies. Yeah i may make a slightly smaller profit each time but it's worth it in the long run.

Also made another mistake tonight and accidentally overlayed 3-0 Arsenal by not changing the stake in the calculator... of course it comes in. Every mistake i have made has come in against me this month.

 

[alditoharrods]

Yep, definitely been gubbed! They've given him 2 free bets to use but that's it.

If you just do high odds and match them well, won't you just keep losing at the bookies and then they won't mind anyway? Most of my bets so far have been between 5.0 and 8.0 and all have lost at the bookies, so I've not taken anything from them, it's all in the exchange.

 

[Jon]

Oh man you lost PP

I am sorry for your loss

 

[SirV]

I seem to keep winning my mug bets at PP. Did Colchester V Crewe, Crewe were 6.5, they won £130 from Smarkets to PP.

Apart from that a reasonable £50 today.

Struggled to get much joy with Paddy today; awful odds for both qualifiers (almost £2 loss each on both) and no decent odds matches in play.

You'd be surprised how many long odds selections win. It's not so much the amount of money you win that determines whether you get gubbed, it's whether you are continually taking value bets or not hence why you hear of arbers getting banned who have never won a bet.

Interesting, thanks, so it's definitely important to make bets with a range of odds.

I got my first reload offer with William Hill tonight, haven't even used the second of my SUB free bet yet. Nice to see a reload as I've only had emails inviting me to the casinos so far.

I've not done any MBing for a couple of weeks now as I've moved home. Now that I'm settled I'll be looking to get back on it! Kerching!

I try to do the same between 3 and 7 and try to get 5-6 for the free bet and very rarely 7 at that. I am still on the offers so if i can get some sort of randomly betting pattern forming with whatever bookie all the better for me in the long run i guess and i would rather take £15.00 - £16.00 from a free bet than £18 or even £19 and live to bet another day. I am quite happy being the tortoise in the race.

I have seen a quite a few of the advanced offers are now stating up to 7 odds only.

Sorry to hear about being gubbed how hard is it then to get back your Paddy account once gubbed?

 

[Miss Pear]

Been gubbed by StanJames today. My own fault, took up an offer without doing loads of mugs. Never mind, onwards and sideways! This month is the first I've topped £100 from the betting (I always take into account losses as well). I may be slow but I'm getting there

 

[Jon]

I don't care for all these Gubbings

 

[Miss Pear]

Everybody mug! Am just starting to get to the stage where I can afford to mug properly now. Enough in the exchanges to do it *phew*
