An update on my acca's for anyone interested. I've done 12 now the past 3 weeks, could have done more but just getting used to it and building bank etc.

But taking into account qualifying losses and freebet profits I'm averaging £7.50 profit per acca, which isnt bad for not a lot of effort

Is that average off £50 acca's?
Do you find the prices move about much later into your acca's on short priced favourites? My 3 so far have all bombed out on legs 1 or 2 but then the rest have won, so I'm wondering what'll happen later in the acca when I come to lay if the prices have moved massively.

Question for you veterans. Just finished all the sign ups and casino offers. Not sure where to head from here?

Do i just simply try and do every daily reload?

Still nothing from them. Have sent them multiple emails, had one back where they stated I needed to send them the documents, I sent them an email straight back with copies of the documents again and still not heard anything back. How do I get my money from them if it is protected?

Pretty much. At the moment I'm just doing the Euro games on Pokerstars (bet 10, get 10) and any risk free stuff.

Then it will be 888Sport the weekend.

The only other real way to make decent money is by doing accumulators or having the ability to do horse racing during the week, otherwise it's a bit slow.

£25 acca's. Though I tend to underaly quite heavily on legs with odds of less than 1.25.

The prices won't move much if anything they close together if you pick top faves.

Thanks Andrew!

Regarding the accumulator i can't see anything on the PA website showing me how that is done? Could you please point me in the right direction?

I might just be a complete idiot and overlooking the section but i can't see it!

Link doesn't help.

Go to Members tab > List > Scroll to bottom and it's under "Ongoing Offers" and "Accumulator refunds".

Brabbinho · 8 Sep 2015 at 19:24

Of the reloads accas are certainly the best I reckon

Thanks! I actually did about 4 reload offers tonight, checked them off and it then appeared in my reloads section. Appreciate your help anyways

Question on Profit Accumulator website....

I did some matched betting a couple of years ago and so have accounts with a number of the bigger online bookies. Does this site rely solely on sign-up bonuses or are there a mix of offers and other strategies?

doodah · 9 Sep 2015 at 00:09

I did a similar thing so was a little more restricted in the sign up offers but there were still companies I hadn't joined and plenty more offers to do beyond the sign ups. I think there's about £1k to be had from the sign ups.

That's pretty damn good then if 25quid acca's. You're hitting 3 refunds for every 10 acca's.
I think Acca's are the only real way of making a profit after the signups are done, and you've got to slowly slowly build your bank to do more of them. Trying to hit a 2nd place to a SP favourite is ridiculous now, so for me they're not worth spending the time researching and doing because of the hit rate.

Brabbinho · 9 Sep 2015 at 10:46

I hit 4 refunds out of 4 at the weekend due to Holland and Turkey failing to win on Thursday. But due to underlying qualifying losses of £10 from first leg on each.

I don't do the 2nd to sp favourite ones not worth it. William Hill is just second, and I've had success with lads and 365 4/1 winners

mors · 9 Sep 2015 at 15:11

The only problem I have with the Acca refunds is the considerable losses on your losing acca's. 10-20% usually unless you get mega lucky. So unless you hit a refund 1 in 5 or better, then these losses are going to chew through the profits pretty quick.

timmothy · 9 Sep 2015 at 17:03

still nothing from smarkets. tried calling again multiple times and it just says called can't be answered. have also sent multiple emails without response. really worried about my money, can anyone give some advice on how I take this further?

Are you picking really big faves? How often do Real, Barca, Bayern etc lose on the same weekend

So far I have completed 6 ACCAs
Lost one @ £20
Lost one @ £50
Lost one @ £50
Won one @ £40 (got free bet)
Won one @ £50 (got free bet)
Won all legs on ACCA made about £10.30 (adjusted lays etc)

With a bet of about £50 I aim for a loss of about £20 on 1st lay, reduce to about £12 on 2nd lay etc.

So overall I'm probably about:
-6.14
-21.50
-21.50
For the losing ACCAs
+70 (I'd say a £50 FB is about £35 each unless you wait for really good matches)
+10.30 for the ACCA that won all legs
= 31.16 profit for 6 ACCAs (£5 each)

Above is my ACCA experience.

I think you'd have to be unlucky not to win all legs (make profit by under-laying) or not have one losing leg on about half the ACCAs you do

Brabbinho · 9 Sep 2015 at 18:11

Do accas with freebets. I generally do a horse and 1/2 odds on football favourites. Returns will be 80-90% of the freebet

ninjabib · 9 Sep 2015 at 21:07

Does the reload section refresh everyday?

I've been ticking them off and hoping they do!
