Put my first horse bet on today. QL of £3.91 which I can stomach but here's hoping that the horse comes second.

Simon I used the race you mentioned above, thanks for pointing that one out. 14:25 Ayr.

£25 at PP, would be great if it triggers

That's way too high a QL for PP!

Bear in mind your horse doesn't just have to come 2nd, the SP favourite has to win too.

Diddums · 3 Jul 2016 at 13:31

Yep, I know. I'm not too bothered though, if I lose it I lose it, it's just a small fee to learn the rope smore than anything.

Skillmister · 3 Jul 2016 at 14:24

Layed Begum for a fairly large loss as it didn't look like I was going to get a good match then seconds after the odds turn on their head, Begum becomes fav and could have caught a fantastic match on Street of Dreams. Horses eh..

Diddums · 3 Jul 2016 at 14:29

Yep, Begum screwed me up too by becoming the favourite.

Ah well, it's only cost me £4 so could've been much worse.

Skillmister · 3 Jul 2016 at 14:31

Very few good matches so far today and I can't be arsed watching match catcher for the next few hours while the sun is shining so I'm gonna call it a day with 2 chances at Coral refunds and that's it

Simon · 3 Jul 2016 at 15:31

Horse came second to fav on the Ayr race.

Guess not money back though as there were only 4 runners by looks of it ?

Simon · 3 Jul 2016 at 15:33

Doing horses early can be useful with best odds guarantee

My understanding is that they show you how to make about £15 from your free bets, which you can then use to pay for the yesbets monthly sub and go from there with all new bets

Thanks for the information. Don't think I'm going to make much more than £12 in total so not very successful.

Stopped in my tracks anyway as my Coral account is suspended until I send id. Same has happened with BetFair so not convinced it's worth the hassle.

Artery · 3 Jul 2016 at 15:46

You only have to send them ID once...

I'm aiming at making about £15 from mine, but that's been spent on the Yesbets sub. Looking forward to tonight so I can end the intro Yesbets betting and I can start looking at the next bets.

I am going to need to put more money into betfair though, the initial £50 deposit limited my layoffs by a few pounds profit today.

As for ID, it's standard for all betting sites and it's normally only a one off. It's to stop fraud etc. We used to do it on our bingo sites.

Anyone any good guides/youtube videos that cover the basics of gambling? I'd like a much better understanding of the subject

I've got an offer on Paddy Power which I'm not is any use but it doesn't explain things clearly enough to tell. It's an offer on games which says the WR for this offer is £XXX. Free up the pending funds of £YYY for this offer by staking. The offer lasts a week.

Does this mean if place bets totalling £XXX this week I get £YYY that I can withdraw or bet on sports with?

Helpfully the link for terms and conditions does't work

Have a photo of driving licence and bank statement. Save a draft email with your username and the 2 attachments. Soon as they request it just forward the email to them. Such a hassling 30 seconds you might have to do 10 times...

MBing probably not for you then buddy.

a lot of my daily activity on MB is securing small amount of profit as many times as I can.

Thanks Artery, AHarvey and Skillmister

Have sent ID and will await a response. Is it worth starting the Stan James offer on Yes Bets or wait until I hear back from Coral and Betfair?

In the end made £12.37 which is a start

I would continue.

France 4-0 at HT......PP's MBS is about to pay out in spades. Along with the favourite winning...its all good

doodah · 3 Jul 2016 at 21:04

Gambled Griezmann as top scorer and didn't lay.....£64 now if I lay or risk it (£20) for a biscuit (£200)

indeed - £25 already in free bets!!! lol

Is there a good/best time to do bets during the day? Just looking at the bets for Stan James on Yes Bets and there's only a few which I guess shouldn't be too surprising at half nine on a Sunday night.

McPhee · 3 Jul 2016 at 22:01

New to this. Had quite a decent start.

Put £100 in Bet365, £20 in Paddy Power. I've taken £117.50 out of Paddy Power since Friday (£97.50 profit) and lost £39 at Bet365. Overall, I'm up almost £58 in three days betting on the Euros with two bookies. Zero risks taken.

I think this might be my new hobby
