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

How do you deal with odds drifting in the later legs with accas? That's all that started putting me off accas as you just watch the total profit go down game by game, unless there is a better method to the lock ins I am missing as I know some people do make hundreds every month from them!

odds drift happens majority of the time it doesnt drift too much, pick popular games and teams and typically they will come in. Underlay your legs slightly on ones your very confident about to reduce the QL and up the profit if winning an acca/lock in it also covers the odd drifted leg.

Cool - thanks for that......What do they charge past the £1 trial?? Couldn't see it on the site anywhere.

Good information - I might give it a crack at some point but working away on other bets just now (laying the draw in certain matches and trading out) which is going OK so far.

I think I paid £100 for a years access, but this review suggests £180 a year: http://www.honestbettingreviews.com/accumulator-generator/

The best chance of decent returns tends to have the accas composed of very low odds, thus they don't drift much and any drift is likely to have minimal effect. Most of the time you find they drift in your favour as much as away from you. As a practical example, of the hundreds of Accas I've done in the last six months I think the worst profit swing I can think of is 30% so only making £3.50 on a £25 Acca instead of the originally planned £5.00. Best I can think of is £13 when it only forecast £10 profit on a £50 Acca. Bear in mind I use a method that locks in profit so they are lower ev than other methods which may see more of a swing in profit if odds move, but I don't know.

Used PA when I was doing this last year. What site would people recommend now? Mate of mine wants to get into it but not sure what site to recommend

hoping you fellas can help me out here coz there must be something that im missing or doing wrong.

checking the "my bets" page of yesbets it says im £89.33 in profit [not bad for a couple of hours in the evening this week]. however if i put in the amounts ive added and current balances onto an xcell sheet it just doesnt add up and seems im only £10 in profit??

i must just be being an idiot somewhere along the line here..

Spoiler

ive got no outstanding bets at the moment but a few pending withdrawals

Edit :- Just realised what ive done. Im an idiot

Lol what was it? I constantly have too much money or too little which usually stresses me out until I have figured out the mistake.

bet365 £50 in-play offer on this week, long overdue

Hi,

I was wondering if someone was able to help me out with a query.

I've setup a betfair account and a coral account. Coral had the usual deposit £5 get £20 offer on.

So far it's cost me £40 (£5 at coral and £35 at betfair). My betfair account currently has £46 in it with another bet due this evening so hopefully I'll be closer to £50 (~£10 profit).

Now my understanding is that this only works by taking advantage of the spend £x at <insertbettingcompany> and get £x Free Bets.

So my question is, after my bet with Coral has finished tonight, what do I do with my account? Do I close it and reopen another account with them in 6 months time (just using as an example) to take advantage of their new account offers?

There's plenty of other companies which I haven't signed up to yet, but I'm just wondering what happens once you've signed up to all the major companies and claimed your free bets?

Any information would be grateful.

Cheers

I'm very new to match betting (started less than a week ago) however from my understanding is you would want to leave the account open and place the odd mug bet to appear like a general punter and then you will be able take advantage of future coral offers for existing customers.

As for when you have exhausted all your free bets I believe you would use the reload offers to continue making profit.

I'm sure one of the experienced guys like forum mod will be able to provide a better and more in depth answer.

You should make an easy £1k from the sign up offers alone, a few hundred more with the more complicated/less attractive offers. Once you are done with them, move on to the reload offers; basically a wealth of football and horse race offers from various companies (e.g. tonight bet365 are doing an offer which can net you £30-40 profit fairly easily). Don't forget casino/bingo offers as well.

This is dealt with more than a few times over the course of the last page or 2. The answer is offers are continuous, not limited to sign up offers.

I know it's not in the spirit of matched betting but was so tempted to do the BTTS 1st half trick with bet365 last night. Though £30 is nothing to be sniffed at. Bet On Brazil were doing a good offer last night as well, £5 stake on Bayern to win @ 10/1 - winnings given back as free bets.

Hoping this weekend has some proper extra places - it feels like it's been the crappy Sky offers (1/5) for months now.

Lastly, Cheltenham festival next month

So have had a quick scan through this thread. To ask for the millionth time. Where to start people? I get the impression that I sign up with Yesbets and go from there? any help is appreciated

 

[Diddums]

I'm sure you'll have had a million referrals by now, but the TLDR is simply sign up to Yesbets, do the introduction offer and see how you get on. It's all very well explained with videos and stuff, it's great fun that's for sure.

Cool thank you! I'll give it a go.

One thing I'll add is that you won't have access to the Facebook group as a trial account, which is where you get to ask stupid questions and look like a prat (like me). Once you get premium you get this too and it's worth the sub alone.

If you have any questions quote me in here and I'll answer as quick as I can, the saddo that I am, spending Friday night at home like bylly no mates.

How much is a premium account?
