wellfan09 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I just went with the original, was at £160 cash out when Real got that corner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Always do the higher value bet as the refundable second bet. You'd have made a nice profit tonight if you'd simply switched the order of your bets. I made £1 off this deal. High rollin'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but I meant taking the risk of Atletico winning rather than use it to guarantee, I should have cashed out, don't know why I never because I always do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The thought of getting involved in this is very tempting but I always seem to think that there has to be a catch. Even if it's free money I'd be shitting myself at placing large bets with money I can't afford to lose... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Stuck my £50 on 1-1 in play at 5/1 so made a tidy £250. Was very pleased until I learned that my pal had his on Godin fgs at 33/1. Now mine just seems tame in comparison 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Couple of good arb opportunities on the wrestling tonight with two matches having odds of 4/7 and 10/3. Only problem is I'm not sure what the max allowed stake would be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Spain vs El Salvador on Saturday, Ladbrokes have both teams to score at 21/10, VC has no at 1/2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleus Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I passed onto this game. Maybe in the next one though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodave Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 My thought process may be wrong with this arbing. My thoughts are below on this scenario. It would be a £300 outlay for £10 profit if both teams dont score. I think I'm missing something. Example - Both teams to score at 21/10, VC has no at 1/2. £100 x 21/10 = £310 £200 x 1/2 = £300 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Dunno if this has already been brought up but coral had a 2/1 offer for new customers on Brazil to wear yellow. Max £10 bet so no big bucks available but a free £20 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds could change between bets. 2. The maximum on the second bet could be less than you expect. 3. A bookie might see what you're doing and ban you. Basically a lot of cash risked for a pretty marginal return. I hope people who know better will correct me on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I tend to agree, but how would the bookies know? The biggest risk for me would be your second point. Slightly easier to mitigate against if your betting online. Not so easy if your arbing in shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodave Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks for the replys, a wouldn't get involved as £10 is pretty minimal for putting £300 into your accounts to wait on it coming back again etc Then you take the risks you have highlighted. Not worth the hassle in my opinion and to be worth it you'd need to hammer the bets. Each to there own though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 It's free money but you will get limited eventually, it involves large sums of cash tied up as well. During the World Cup there's so many offers on you would be better served max betting on for example correct score with bookies where there's cash back on red card/ 0-0 and laying elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly easier to mitigate against if your betting online. Not so easy if your arbing in shops. A lot of people do get banned. I talked to a guy who works at the Bet365 HQ in Stoke. He said the bookies share information to track it down. I don't have any sympathy for bookies, but I can see why they do it. If they invest in offering slightly better odds to attract new customers and to keep old customers happy, and big money gamblers exploit it to get "free money", then there will be less freebies available to the ordinary punter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing (2) Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) The odds against on the kiwis at h/t has to be the largest phree bet in years... Edit....click click, both barrels , boooom Edited June 14, 2014 by Bing (2) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Dougal McGuire Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Arbing is best on horse racing I've found as the odds are always changing so you can often make £100 for £400/£500 outlays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Not for everybody but William Hill are offering new customers odds of 4/1 for Germany to win the trophy using the promo GER4. It's a maximum bet of £10 so you won't get much. Argentina are generally available at just over evens to lift the trophy so you can back that wherever you get the best odds to get guaranteed winnings.
