Question: Do you wait for your £50 bonus to be deposited before wagering on that as well?
Click to expand...

yes.


I try not to pay attention to the individual hands and just get through it all and remember that the odds are in my favour overall. Individual hands are pretty insignificant.
 
for people doing matched betting:

Which bookies have you done?
Im looking for a new opportunity after doing skybet for £20 ysterday

How much did you net in total m8?

5 days is the max. I usually find bank transfers take around 3 working days
 
Well, following on from me taking £100 from William Hill casino I decided to try my luck at Littlewoods casino playing some more black jack. Not my night, I managed to drop down from £100 (£50 stake plus £50 bonus) to £50.50 within a couple of hours so I decided to cash out my stake and try my luck elsewhere next week. :(
 
Just about to start on Casino Club, am I being a bit slow here?

The Sign Up Bonus must be wagered a predetermined number of times prior to withdrawal. You must wager the bonus amount and matching deposit amount 8 times prior to withdrawal or you will loose any remaining bonus amount. For example: if you deposit 25 euro and get 25 euro in bonus you need to bet 450 Euro (9 times 25+25)

They state 8x requirement, but the example is clearly 9x :confused:

Still: very good bonus - going to call it £75 for the 100Euro and go for (75+75)x9 just to be safe - shouldn't take too long for a pretty good payout, will definitely take my time with £1 or £2 bets ;)
 
Well I can certainly see how the Casino Bonus Bagging could be a complete waste of time

Take William Hill for example...

You have to wager £1250 to get their £50 bonus. That's a **** load of blackjack hands!

And to be honest I don't think it's random anyway. I've been playing with them for the last hour and I've been getting a couple of really REALLY bad runs. 7 or 8 losing hands in a row... Dealer blackjack twice or three times as much as me

I don't mind losing streaks... But to never have winning streaks to counter, is kinda pointless
 
VC is very slow - I prefer the one Will Hill, Intercasino etc use.

and you really can't judge whether the random card generator is fair or not based on a 15hand run.

It's a common gambler's mistake to think that just because you've had a bad run, the game somehow owe's you a good run just because the odds of winning are roughly 50:50. The odds of winning the next hand are always the same, what's happened before doesn't matter at all.

Here's my stats from William Hill casino so far:

they look pretty fair to me
 
How is VC Casino slow?

I completed the £50 bonus within 2 hours...

The wager requirement on William Hill (for exactly the same bonus) is 2 1/2 times as much

I don't expect anything other than 50/50 (or close to it). But when a dealer gets 3 times as many blackjacks as you, and winning streaks of 7 or 8 hands, it starts to luck suspicious

I wouldn't mind if my wins were similar, but they're nothing like it
 
Well 4 hours down the ******* for nothing

Got worked down to my original £50 before withdrawing... Took me 4 hours of solid playing as well

Just a warning to anyone considering doing this... Playing 1,000s of hands of blackjack will drive you nuts

Think I'll take a look at Matched Betting

LOL try playing 5000 hands! I have done 3000, got 2000 left!
 
After a week or so off, I'm going back to Bonus Bagging.

I've done VCCasino, which was easy enough, and now I'm going to William Hill.

Whats good after these? I've looked at Ladbrookes but 5 or 10 pound hands is a little off putting, atleast for now.
 
I did ladbrokes before they upped it to £10 bets and ended up evens so bagged the whole £100. 32Red's good because it has an auto-player thing.

Yukon Gold's offer is great - you put in £50 and if you lose it all in 24hrs they'll give you your £50 back so long as you've played at least 10 hands. So you play 9 hands of blackjack at £1 and then bet the rest on your 10th hand - double or nothing and if you lose all that happens is you lent them £50 for a few days.

SkybetVegas is also a good bonus:

skybet said:
STAGE 1 – up to £100 Free.
We will match your first deposit over £10 up to a maximum of £100 Free.

STAGE 2 – additional £150 Free.
Wager over £5,000 within the first month of registration to claim £150 Free in addition to your first deposit match bonus.

Once you have staked your £5,000 please email [email protected] stating your Sky Bet User ID. We will credit your account within 48 hours of receiving your email.

All bonuses will be non-playable and will only be converted to withdrawable funds when the value of the bonus is turned over a minimum of 20 times using your own funds. EXAMPLE: You deposit £50 and claim a £50 Welcome Bonus. Therefore, in order to convert the £50 bonus into withdrawable cash, you must turnover a minimum of £1000 (£50 x 20 = £1000) of your own funds.

so wager 2000 to get £100 - then another 3000 to get another £150

Don't see why not.

Address, credit card/bank account and ISP are about all they check on.

No mate, it doesn't matter which side wins, the result is essentially pointless.

Bet 1 - My money / Lay 1 - My Money
Bet 2 - Free Money / Lay 2 - My Money

Using this you wrote with say a bet on United to beat Liverpool.

Bet 1 - My money / Lay 1 - My Money, if United win, say the odds are 2.1 and you bet 25 quid, you would win 52.50 at the bookies, but pay out ~53 quid, gain of -50p. If Liverpool win or its a draw, your 25 you put into the bookies goes but you win the amount that you laid at betfair i.e. ~25 quid, usually works out a bit less which is where the loss comes from on betfair side. Again gain is around -50p.

So from the first pair of bets, you have lost about 50p, if you won at the bookies, take out as much as possible and put it back in betfair. If you won at betfair then you dont have to worry about anythin.

They should then credit you with your 25 pound free bet:

Bet 2 - Free Money / Lay 2 - My Money

say you bet Argentina to beat Brazil this weekend, odds of 4 and 4.2 say.

If Argentina win, at the bookies you'll get 100-25 (stake is not returned in most bookies) and at betfair, you'll pay out 75.90, loss of 90p.

If Brazil win or its a draw, you'll lose again at the bookies, but win whatever you laid at betfair i.e. around £18 for this bet at these odds.


The profit comes from the money your getting back on the second bet, the bets always counter so you always get back what you bet. But when you bet with the free bet, essentially your just obtaining the free bet again, but you can withdraw it now.

Still not clear?

So to make a profit, on the second bet, you have to win the lay?

Otherwise if you won the bet, even if it's not your money, you still have to use it to counter the lay you just lost.
