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

Be very careful with the prestige casino thing - there is a lot of feedback at the moment saying that they are closing peoples accounts and keeping the deposit when they try to make a withdrawal. At the moment I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

but but but matched betting is 'risk free'?

If you "win" you need to deposit £35 to be able to withdraw your winnings. As soon as you put this £35 in the account they will suspend the account and nick the £35.

Any evidence of them keeping the money (other than "someone said")? If so, that's against the law.

Even if an account is suspended (i.e. unable to deposit or play games) you will still be able to withdrawn your funds.

Plenty of feedback about it on the PA Facebook group - take that with a pinch of salt if you wish. Its come from enough people at this point that its put me off giving things a go.

They seem to be using an extremely one sided clause in their T&C's (which to me looks like a completely unfair clause) to justify the loss of the deposit amount.
 
I used to have an account with a company called prestige casino. If its the same one then they've gone to the dogs! They used to throw little sweeteners at me all the time (£5 free money etc) never had a deposit to withdraw system either. Shame.

Great Stan james offer tomorrow. Have a bet at 2/1 or greater on the Chelsea game. If it wins, they match your stake.

I need my hand held on this offer, the bet needs to win at 3.0+ odds to get the free bet, but for example if I bet on West Brom to win and lay it, its very likely West Brom will lose (no free bet) and I lose £4~ on the exchange. Is there any way to make a profit from this with no risk?

Yes, but not a fortune.

Best odds are for the draw (as far as I could see). 4/4.2 for odds.

Bet £25, assumed free bet worth of £20

Lay £28.71 with 2% commission

-£16.87 if it's a draw with £25 freebet (worth £20)
-£25 (bet) + £28.13 (lay less 2%) = £3.13

So same either way with profit.

It doesn't matter what the T&C's state - it's still illegal. For example, I could have a T&C that gave me the right to punch you in the face if the wind is blowing from the West. Even if you signed it, I still couldn't do it (well I could - but I'd get busted for it).

A quick email to the gambling comission should sort out any issues.

It's not free bet - is a risk free in play bet - you get a refund if the bet loses.

Calculate as SNR for gauranteed profit.

Doh, my exchange gamble didn't pay off this time, layed at 1.78, surely the 1.75 against Liverpool would rise that has a better last 5 game record :rolleyes: goes to 1.72, 80p~ lost. Only an easy £34 for me now :D
 
Ladbrokes have got the same offer but for £25.

Still, with both offers combined, today should net you around £55-60 for bugger all!

Just make sure you do a fair bit of mug betting with those bookies over the next few days.
