You missed a lot of great offers last week then, it was excellent.
Ascot tomorrow, not as good as Cheltenham but still a bit better than the usual drivel.
Also make sure you do your freebies, I just withdrew £90 from William Hill's offer.
(this is for ANYONE with a william hill account)

I keep meaning to get into this but I haven't got around to it yet. Is it worth doing when the horses aren't running?
There is usually always something going on, but the profits may be a bit low.
Emptied all my accounts so on a hiatus at the moment
Likewise! It was surprising how much cash I had dotted around bookies. I'm just hitting the odd easy free bet at the moment to tick over until the football season starts again.
Same, I waited for the champions league final and the £50 free bet then empitied everything out and paid the car loan off which was the plan when I started.
I think I might stick a couple of hundred back in come August but will see how things go.
So with the football season starting again I decided I would start up again with the matched betting after emptying my accounts after the champions league.
Logged into Bet365 for the 2UPs and found a Free Bet Credit offer matched up to £100, looks like it was sent out a while ago but valid until 16th August, so worth checking your accounts if you haven't for a while.

Nice, the missus got a "payout early on league winnner if they go 10 points clear" and I got SFA!
Think everyone did. Is your account limited ?
What edge are you taking advantage of on football index?
I mean is it just luck/hope that more people deposit (i.e. some quasi-ponsi scheme nature to it)?
Been a great week, some decent offers around.
haha - no idea. No edge at all, just playing around with it. 12.77% up on my total investment so far. Topped up over the summer time and waiting for the football to kick off again.
There is a lot of bigtime investors that appear to influence the market - Some people appear (whether true or not) - to have £50k/£100k in the market/platform etc.
I'm certainly not over committing to it, happy to have a general play about with it and see where it leads.
Aside from that - this popped up the other day.

Trader Caan Berry's new toy. No idea if it works, what it's about, but might be worth a look for anyone who's interested.
So do you think it is just continually expanding/getting a regular new supply of customers at the moment? I mean if that is a factor then nice one! 
(though that can of course change in future)
I mean ultimately they're not giving away free money, their "dividends" need to come from other customers losing money rather than from some underlying company generating profits and they need to take their own little skim/rake/vig/whatever. Ostensibly a blind punt on something like this ought to be -ve, but it does seem to be a bit different in terms of structure to conventional gambling and so if it is momentarily +ve as a result of say lots more money piling in then that is interesting.

yeah - I'll keep you posted on it. There is a spread between buying/selling price which is where I suspect they get their money/cut from.
Take Pogba for instances - Buy him at £7.41 a share, sell at £7.16. Expensive but you will always pick up a dividend for him as he's never out the news (media dividends) and then you have matchday dividends (goals, assists, passes etc - all taken from OPTA stats)
I just look for sub £1 players mostly - Take Youri Tielmans for instance. I bought him at 96p when I started about 4 months ago, he's doubled in value since signing for Leicester. (currently £1.93)
I do have a few concerns around where it seems to be fairly simple to make money, without any real effort. There a lot of pumping and dumping of random players that seem to rocket in value in the space of 24 hours as people jump on the hypetrain about them, then following 24hours they drop like a stone as people take a profit.
Nothing I can't afford to loose, but it's fun so far. Andriod app is superb - very slick, impressive.
