Try to avoid some of the more volitile (and franky out of character) sports/leagues/etc. It can flag your account up as a bonus blagger and you'll be limited before you can say, "I need to place a £50 bet on Indonisian Beaver wrestling."

Alright. On a side note, how long does it usually take to get the money into your account on average. I withdrew my first £5 winnings 2 days ago and i don't even see it in my pending transactions. I know on coral it said 2-5 days but I'm just wondering cos all the money out showed in my pending transactions as soon as i placed the bets.

It varies from bookie to bookie but no more than a few working days.

Alright. No matches were showing up in the oddsmatching software so i found a match on coral. Some south american match. Just betted my whole £20 free credit on the second team back. And in betfair, i betted £8.80 on the second team lay. 2 back/3 lay.. still has me worried as my bank only has £1 in there but i should get a nice return from this, right? As long is i get over £35 in my bank back. That's a profit.

It is a steep learning curve. I don't want to muddy the water or confuse you further but if Profit accumulator is telling you to lay £8.80 against a £20 bet then you are probably betting on something with too small odds. When extracting a free bet try to go for odds of between 4 to 6 to maximise your profit. Not higher than 6 though. As long as your free bets arn't about to expire its best to be patient and wait for better matches and not rush into betting on the first thing you see at the top of the odds matcher. UK football at weekends usually produces lots of good opportunities. As should the champions league games this week.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind. (But to be fair, at this point i had about a tenner left in my bank.
