Hey guys,

So... just a thought. Many booking firms try and reel you in with their offers.

However, what if you have intellect, wit and the skill of knowing when to stop?

Anyway, what I'm saying is you can make quite a bit of easy money by making an account on websites and taking them up on their joining offer.

For example...

Paddy Power, spend £10 - get £30 worth of free bets
Betfair - Bet £10, get £30 worth of free bets again
Betfred - Bet £5, get £20 worth of bets

Tonight I used the offer at Betfred and made £23 from my £5. I didn't even do that well but still made an £18 profit.

WON - Manchester City to win - both teams to score
WON - Atletico Madrid to win over Benfica
WON - PSG to win over Shaktar
LOST - Juve to win over Seville
LOST - Manchester United to draw 0-0 with Wolfsberg

Tomorrow I have 4 games on via Paddy Power and if they all go my way (not an accumulator), I get £78 back from my £10. I won't list them out as then I'll win none :o

If you were to do this with every betting company and put your money on odds which are highly in your favor, there's a pretty big profit margin to be made.

You've got ladbrokes, 888 and many more....also, to think you could use multiple e-mail addresses and cards! (and no, I shall not being doing this before people start having a dig)

Off topic but I didn't realise I had £12 sitting on one account so that felt like free money too ha. I've put that on the Anthony Joshua fight :)

And there goes another 'I CAN BEAT THE BOOKIES LOLZ!' brain-wrong and you didn't even bother to come up with something that isn't old hat and provably wrong either.

Don't they tend to have a rule where you must bet the free funds X amount of times before payout?

Nope. What they do is give you the £30 in 3x £10 free bets. Fine by me, I just put £10 on three different games where the winners are almost dead certs. Even if you only make back £3.33 a game, there's a tenner out of nothing.

If you lose, you lose nothing.
 
I have 2 mates that have gambling problems and this is how they started :) one actually lost over 500 quid on friday night.

I do my £20 treble or double match result & both teams to score every saturday no more no less.. And im up over 3k this calendar year...

Easy money..
 
I've made £80 in a day by buggering about with free funds but haven't done it since as I know I'm the sort of person who'll get addicted.

I thought there was to minimise this. My bad.
 
I smashed paddy's pasty with 2 big ones on Fury @ 4.33.

But op you shouldn't gamble, do matched betting, then with paddy you can get £24, with betfair £24 and fred £16 no risk.
 
Treble or doubles if you know what you're doing can be great ways of winning. Both teams to score makes it quite a bit tougher.

I'm not sure why talking about this would warrant a ban? I'm pretty sure the TV ads every 5 mins are more intriguing than my boring analysis.

They'll get the money back eventually. The average punter see they're winning, continue then lose. And then chase....

If its not a straight acca, are you perming then? (ie 4-folds from 5 selections so you only need 4 to win. In which case its still accas)

No. No they are not. Many people do this all the time and we're still going!

No idea what matched betting is to be honest. I've a very addictive personality but I've dabbled in gambling over the years and never got hooked. I'll be fine :)

Well I stated, IF you know when to stop.

It's 4 games and 4 teams to win, £10 each game - all single bets. When added up, the profit would be as mentioned. Nope, not 'perming' them, didn't even know that was a thing.

I stand by my point, if you have the power to take a step back once you've done the rounds, there's a relatively easy £200 to be had here.

Surely the only naughty bit is making multiple accounts? I'm not condoning that part but it's not like we need to be sympathetic towards the bookies.

No one is forcing anyone to bet.....
If that's how joe bloggs wants to spend his money crack on.
We're just a business with margins and overheads like any other....
