Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

Eurgh, I've lost three accounts in the last week. Bet Bright gubbed me last week and Bet365 yesterday. Even though I've not really abused the offers on these, I've just won a lot of bets on Bet365!

Stan James sent me an email today and I contacted them on live chat. I've done 5 bets with them, two of them free bets, not won a single one with them and they said they suspect me of arbing and have restricted my account.
 
Luckily I've not really got any accounts where I've won consistently. I've won a fair bit on PP but not excessive and I've mugged a lot (both Euros and horses recently).

Checked my Ladbrokes account this morning and I've lost almost 15 bets in a row :cool: They'll be loving me
 
Bummer - won't get my 188Bet refund for Ronaldo scoring 2 goals because I bet on the bloody draw!!!! :mad:



Anyone got any tips for horse refunds? Need something to do while it's quiet with football but I can only really get the bets on in the morning before work (or after work for evening races). Hardly any close matches though so you do you go for nearer the race times and put prospective lay odds in and hope for the best or what?
 
Hit a £25 refund with Coral yesterday for beaten by a length. Then another horse won (at 13/1!!!) rather than 2nd that I'd underlayed for £17 profit :D

Mug time today then......

Hi guys,

When addingn a manual bet, the first one you select "normal" dont you? For the qualifying bet. Then when you unlock the free bet, which option do you select?

Free bet SNR or SR, what's the difference?

Free bet is used as SNR (stake not returned). Same goes for a frisk free bet if you want to lock in profit.

Should be a cracking weekend for footy offers
 
Qualifying bets are usually normal.

Free bets are usually SNR, meaning your free bet stake is deducted from the winnings. SR would mean you got the free bet stake back as part of the winnings also, not even sure when this ever applies in practice tbh!
 
Hi all I have been signed up with yesbets for the month, great site and service cant thought them, but as I have now completed most of the starter offers its dried up a bit.

I have had a look at Oddsmonkey, now that I have a good amount of money and more experience and looking at the tools provided: dutch search, racing and tennis matchers etc that it may be worth moving over, has anyone tried both these sites and can provide any feedback?

Are you doing the reloads at Yesbets? Money to be made there.
 
The reloads might be a bit quiet because it's a lull in the Euros, no club football etc but there would definitely be no need to move sites just because you've finished starter offers. After a month I wouldn't be looking at dutching and horses yet anyway..
 
Reloads where its guaranteed profit im a little scared of the horse racing offers and it just seemed that Oddsmonkey offered a bit extra, i'm tempted to sub to oddsmonkey for a month and try them both at the same time.
 
If your lay bet goes unmatched what happens exactly, is your stake/liability at risk or do you just lose any potential profit if the lay were to win?

Edit: I suppose you could lose your back stake, if it's not a free bet?

Thanks Gober I will have a look at that. I had £150 go unmatched last night when I bet on a horse race that was just about to start :o

I can't wait for the Euros to start again, I'm too panicked trying to place a bet on the horses, double checking everything, whilst at the same time the odds keep changing.
 
Lol funny that this is the convo going on, I just lost £125 on the exact same thing. My first ever **** up I think. My bet wasn't matched when the race started, layed in play on the wrong horse and the bloody thing ended up winning :mad:

Might struggle to hit £1k profit this month now!
 
Well 16 days in and I'm up £800. The lull over the last couple of days in the Euros has been handy as my PC has bee undergoing some plumbing :D
 
Anyone here use Oddsmonkey? Could they give a little review of it?

I'm an OM user and I know Quinaay is and a few others on here too. I personally wouldnt be without it, the oddsmatcher is a godsend for finding matches. It has a multitude of settings within it to find your perfect match and it updates very quickly too.
You have the racing matcher to find all the close matches for any race that has a bookie offer on it.
Tennis matcher will be very handy with Wimbledon starting next week.
You have a dutching search tool that sometimes throws up some cracking finds
Theres also now an eachway matcher that you can make some very tidy profits on if you have a big enough bank to cover the liabilities
An extra place spreadsheet is available for now and that will make you huge profits if you can get the hang of it ;)

A daily offers page is updated very quickly and has pretty much everything that the bookies have out there on offer that day. Theres also a community page that the users can post their finds too ( like if someone gets emailed offers) it gives everyone a heads up to check their own emils. An example was the Leovegas one this week , they gave out £30 free bets in error and if it wasnt for an eagle-eyed member most of us wouldnt have caught it.

The community is growing nicely and the forum is now starting to pick up and its very friendly. I think a lot of people are moving over from PA as they are disallusioned with them (me included)

Finally the staff are super friendly and always about for advice and help

Oh and of course if you're new to it all then a lot of the sign up offers are available with all the discussions on how to go about doing them and the results members have had along with any advice or pitfalls etc etc

Theres plenty more going on but i think ive rambled a bit
