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

Just a quick question; with France highly likely to win tonight, should I use Bonus bets on Portugal and lay them off? To my mind, that seems the best way to extract cash. But then I'm new to this..

Ideally I want the bonus bets to lose, right?
 
Exactly.



Also, I'm ****ed off because the only bet I have on for tonight is 20 at paddy's backing the French. All my cash is in transit between bookies and bank so that ruined all my profit for this weekend. Bawsaq.
 
I've only got the PP goals offer and £10 on this on William Hill :

Ronaldo To Score In 90 Mins, Griezmann To Score In 90 Mins And Match To Go To Extra Time @ 10.00

If 1 leg wins, £10 free bet, 2 win = £20 free bet, all 3 win = £100 :)

Taking a punt on it and chilling out to watch the game without having to worry about in play bets etc. I don't want MB to turn into something I hate or get stressed about. Need to remember that I went into it happy to make £2-300 per month. Yet I'm up over £300 already this month (would be almost £400 if not for being gubbed with £50 in free bets unusable on Coral) and I'm getting annoyed over things!
 
Well that was a successful match. Not 100% sure how much I made, but I just took £1,250 out of my Smarkets account. Something like £400-£500 profit.
 
I forgot to calculate what happened if there was a draw lol

Never done lay bets before. I've dutched every other bet. At half time I was panicking a bit, thinking "Surely if it's a draw I win both lay bets? Maybe? Urm... I hope so...". I just assumed France would walk it, to the point where I almost didn't lay the France to Win bet.

From what I 'gather' there are not usually any MB opportunities for the Olympics. I maybe and I hope I am wrong though.

I expect the remainder of July to be quiet, and I will spend some time getting myself up to speed on Accas and taking advantage of the 'place' market with horse racing before the BPL kicks off again.

The Euros was good for me. Excluding the usual dutching etc I cleared over 800 quid in the last month on reloads alone. The final , though, was particularly disappointing. PP MBS was a non event, and the my 188bet free bet won (0-0 after 90 mins), and they have just changed their T&Cs apparently that I need to wager this winning twice to withdraw!......Not sure if to argue the toss on live chat or just follow the herd with the format.
 
Didn't make much money on the euros, only did the coral and paddy offers and since most games were low goals (if at all) I only made a few quid here and there.

Muller was my top goal scorer.....and he scored......ZERO lol
 
£250 in free bets from PP goal offers, 4 top goalscorer offers (griezman, giroud and 2x Ronaldo (CR7 let down :( ) and Betfair, Sky and Willhill outright winner offers (on France).

Not even going to bother going through my spread sheet to see how much I made in total from all the rest but it was a decent amount :p

If it was the 'money back if bet loses and xxxxx event happens' it has always been money back that needs wagering twice at odds of 1.9+ throughout the tournament (on footy and tennis for that matter).
 
Just setup a yesbets account on Friday night as I was bored, going through the beginner tutorials. Whilst there are no massive numbers I'm happy its actually working as it should and I'm in profit.

Is their premium service worth it until I get on top of things and MB principals become clearer to me?

No it was the bet £10 on each of the semis and get a £10 bet for the final.

Also..Paddy Power gubbed me today. A few others got hit on OM, looks like they are doing a post Euros clear out.
 
Ah crap, fingers crossed! My worry is for Coral and Labrokes.

Just had my 1 year anniversary with MB, 7 gubbings but still standing strong :D

It seems like a lot of people on Yesbets have been gubbed by PP too! I'm hoping I'll be OK as I haven't had the email yet, although I just withdrew over £300 from them this morning.
 
Caught a gubbing from PP too, seems they got a lot of people. They were still sending me offers up until yesterday.I assume they're having a clear out after the Euros
 
How I haven't been gubbed by PP is beyond me. I absolutely rinsed their euro offer. That said, I don't use mug bets from sites and pick my own. I also "lost" an absolute boatload to them over the Euros so that might help.
