Quick question on 32Red.com

Do I have to wait for them to deposite my £50 bonus before I start playing?

It's a bit confusing (which I guess is how they make money!).

I've e-mailed them stating I wish to take the offer and my account name and that I've already deposited £50. Can I start playing?

Also how does quid co track you exactly? I followed the quidco link then downloaded and reg'd, will it start tracking then?

Cheers

Edit - Nevermind, just been on their live support, slow peice of ****!

Following on from my previous post.

Deposited £50 in 32red.com via quidco.com, got my bonus of £50 from 32red added making my balance £100 (this is very sneaky and means you HAVE to wager £5000, there's no backing out!).

Was dubious of Autoplay but used it but only at 25 hands at a time. Had a very bad start going from £100 down to £23 but kept at it and got as high as £90-odd before dropping back down and then getting back to £80-odd. Finally placed £5000 worth after 2hr 15min (ish!) and I've ended up with £72.50 which I'm happy with. Withdrawn this back onto my credit card and I'll keep my eye out for my £50 Quidco cashback.

Was a nevous couple of hours and I think I got a bit lucky

Going to do a few more before mastering match betting ready for the season.

Always do 32red on autoplay blackjack. Although the signup is fair whack of wagering, the monthly email bonuses are much more appealing.

Vegas srtip BJ has the lowest house edge, so open that up (double check the T&C's that vegas strip is allowed), make sure its set on £2 hands, chose settings (little cog button) select fastest play, switch off all sounds and click ok. Then click expert, click autoplay, select 2400 hands (with doubles and splits at £2 hands should take you over the 5k wager) chose 0 seconds between deals and then click start

Minimise and come back in 45 mins to collect your profit :cool:

does autoplay not screw you over though?

i find myself getting the odd win in a hand, by not following the charts but going by gut instince

i.e. i get 15 to the dealers 10 - always states to twist. However i follow a every other time this happens rule to twist, often reaps rewards as the dealer may bust out.

im concerned that autoplay will wipe me out, due to the casino playing itself.....

Autoplay uses the strategy table, if you deviate away from the strategy table then you are not playing it to your advantage

Each to their own though

So if I use the 32red auotplay, odds are I will come out with a nice portion of the £50 bonus?

haha

if only it were that easy. The house still has the edge over you, but by using autoplay/strategy, you are giving yourself the best odds at retaining the bonus. There is varience involved so there is no guarantee. Having done 5 32reds, i won at 3, lost at 2, but the wins were much more than just the bonus.

how can you do 5?

i assume the IP check 'threat' dosent hold much weight, so I assume you are using various cards / addresses

I can theoretically use mine and my partners cards (albeit same address) then my partner has a card under here parents address - so that one should be easy enough to use.

Are we saying for all this, that I could infact triple play casinos / match bet, by using the different accounts?

I did that back in the day when I just did casinos, I had 3 accounts closed down, and winnings revoked on another. I wouldn't recomend you go down the multiple accounts route as they are more aggresive with checks these days than a few years back

anksta · 24 Jul 2007 at 12:43

Smokes, what kind of numbers are you talkin about?

I dont mean earnings, more along the lines of how many bookies and casinos etc. have you done? I think its important when other people are askin about what they're chances are etc. to know that the amount of times you've done these is relative to the amount of accounts you've had closed etc.

It says on the blackholebonus website your expected profit. About £25 from 32red irrc. E.g. you'll end up with about £75 in your bank (your original £50 and half of the bonus they give you). That's because the house has a edge.

Unless you're very lucky to end up near £90 mark. I was there a few times but I was also down in the £20's. After I'd wagered £5000 I was around £75. I could have continued and got lucky and finished on £90-odd, but then I could have got unlucky and ended up on £20! So I took it and run. With my Quidco bonus aswell it's a decent amount.

I've got a fair few, I'm not saying don't sign up for your mum and uncle bob, just wouldn't bother with duplicate accounts. Address/name and IP address are what links the accounts, so no point signing up for your missus if you live at the same address. I lost over 2k from a duplicate sporting odds account when they found out and shut the account down. Nothing I could do so just had to write it off. Lesson learnt

at betfair there seems to be a period of waiting until someone "accepts" your bet, what if nobody accepts it? It seems you've just lost your bet stake at the bookies. Has this happened to you?

This is the only risk element I see with this - is it a reaslistic 'problem' ?

Thanks for the heads up though, if this question is answered and I like the outcome I will almost certainly be signing up, and signing up, and signing up etc etc

Sean

Edit - also, how many of you have had the awkward call from the Bank? I am looking at selling my flat and buying a house in the next few months, I don't have my mortgage with my bank or anything so would this ever show me in a bad light to prospective lenders?

im sure as long as its matched initially then you are fine.... its if you have different odds to those in the pink, then you can lose out as you are asking for someone to match you at that price.

DJsean · 24 Jul 2007 at 16:43

Ahhh, so am I correct in thinking the betfair odds are realtime odds that are waiting to be taken? If you deviate, more fool you?

yeah thats how I work

I think you also need to take note of the amount under the odds.... as this needs to be enough to cover your liability??? im pretty sure thats how it works.

ah balls,

thanks for the tip - i must have missed out on some juicy ones, waiting for that to tip over

mehuk · 24 Jul 2007 at 18:22

can i jsut check

if i back a 1-0, then lay against the 1-0

the outcome is the same as if i back a Win?

there is nothing else connected to a correct score that could screw me over?

im just desperate to find a 8+odds on my free stan james
