Made a mess of the bet188 offer. I read it as 1.5 and not 1.75 and placed a bet at 1.68 for my first bet but never realised until I had completed all 5 bets thinking I was due my £50 before reading back on PA.

I'm assuming that once my 6th (5th £50 bet at 1.75) is settled I'll be entitled to my £50 cash bonus?

just watch mate, they might say that your first 5 bets had to be of a certain odds, and that you dont get second chances

betfred did this to me with their free bets, c***s

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right but to me it looks like your current liability is £188.50.

If you were to cash out you would get £161.08 from bet365 plus £33 from the exchange (minus commission), say £192.58 return

Giving a net profit of £4.08

Apologies if the above isn't correct, it's been a long day.

I wouldn't personally cash out for that return but that's entirely up to you. Incidentally, was the original bet placed to initiate a bonus?

It was the original Bet365, 50 pounds for 50 pounds. Unfortunately I keep winning at the bookie and need to bet 400 pounds to be able to withdraw my balance. If city draw with Everton my bet365 account will be at 1300 pounds, with a horse at 1840 which could be another 300 pounds and I will still have another 100 pounds to bet to trigger the rollover. I am robbing Peter to pay Paul to keep my exchange afloat !!!

Think I need a wee break from this. Made a big error of judgement earlier by laying off before backing a horse and the odds decreased. I gambled by not backing and it luckily came in on the exchange.

Getting difficult to find good matches when doing rollovers right now - especially on the bigger rollovers.

That was my worry. I will have lost about £14 so far for the free £50 so if I don't get it, it will be a real annoyance.

Some of the odds at the bookies in the advanced offers are shite and do slow things down for me. Starting to use SMarkets, the reduced commission makes a big difference although it's not as user friendly. I almost fucked up yesterday backing AC MIlan with sportingbet (their prices are decent btw) and I layed the 2nd leg instead of the first by accident on SMarkets. Fortunately AC won so if they don't win the 2nd leg I've made a bit of free cash.

Aye I've been using smarkets the most. Not used ladbrokes or matchbook exchanges yet. Done most of the casino offers and only two reloads.

Might start doing more mugging and hit the reloads now and see how that goes. Having to wager nearly 1k to rollover isn't much fun.

It can be a slow process doing the wagering midweek with some of the matches you get. Was tempted to go into the reloads now but will complete all the sign ups and casino offers first. I'm in no rush and using this time to learn the ropes there's a lot of good discussion on the forums about gubbing just now.

I'd recommend Yesbets if you haven't tried them before for MBing. They record all bets and balances so no fucking spreadsheet to fill out, which I always found an absolute mission keeping track. Made a good few hundred quid from offers there as well.

Never heard of them pal, seems to be dozens of profit accumulator clone jobs coming out the wood work. I'd rather keep my own records in a simple spreadsheet than rely on the matched betting website to keep track of them anyway, but each to their own.

Been reading the thread since it started and just wanted to offer some advice on the casino bonuses. If your playing the slots look out for the following on the site Jack Hammer, Jack Hammer 2, Gonzos Quest, Da Vincis Diamonds and Jack and the Beanstalk. In my experience and I play slots a lot these are your best chances at low stakes for higher rewards. 20/25p stakes and you'll be surprised how quickly you can rollover the money

Ladbrokes pulled the double odds fgs offer as of yesterday, they were getting battered apparently. I was up over 800 off shop trips largely on this so far this year. Gutted! Hopefully they'll bring it back for the euros although I'm there the first week so would be relying on mates accounts if possible since mine are chinned. Made a few mistakes due to greed and volume of bets lately so going to chill out for a bit. Got half days in for Cheltenham, hopefully be plenty of can't fail offers on then in paddy power and ladbrokes shops. Likewise the william hill offer for the rwc was amazing and I cleaned up on a sport I know very little about, be great if that's on for 6 nations.

I've done 4 or 5 of those casino offers and have basically won next to nothing. I understand that you have to look at these in the long term e.g. financial position after 100 of the offers but anymore advice you have would be appreciated.

I would imagine tbh the majority will. 6/7 years ago you could make money out them, especially no deposit bonus where the wagering requirements weren't near as high and if you play small stakes you'll be surprised how quickly you get through them.

Slots are probably always the way to go due to the high percentage and it's always been where I have used any bonuses in the casinos. Nigh on all slots have bonuses or free spins etc so that's what you hope to hit. For instance the slots I stated in my previous except Jack and the beanstalk are all holding reels slots. Basically if you get a win it will re spin to get more wins until you don't hit the symbol you need. Go onto any casino and you can free play all the slots usually, also a wee tip is that every stake on a slot is a new game so eg you get the free spins feature on 20p a spin then if you up the stake to 40p it's a fresh game, you could hit hat feature again quite soon or straight away on the higher stake. And if it's a high wagering requirement and you get a decent win definitely jump up a stake, requirement goes quicker higher winnings. It's free nothing to lose

Nothing much more I can offer, I don't think but just ask I know most slots inside out.

Started reading this thread this time last week. Completed my two free sign up offers on Friday night after a day of research.

Currently 400 quid up, pretty much all on sign ups. Granted I had the time to study and a stash of cash to keep a high float.

Made a couple of errors on a couple of deals but all in all well chuffed with the start.

Just need to work on accas, reloads and free slots.

Thanks for all the advice from the experienced match betters on this thread.

Rich.

Where did you see that offer? Can only see 2 under the bingo section. That Dragon Fish one is supposed to be ok.

Its one of the virtue sites.

  • Mecca Bingo - Deposit £10, get £40 bonus.
  • Gala Bingo - Deposit £10, get £25 bonus. (2x rollover on bingo).
  • Paddy Power - Deposit £5, get £20 bonus.
  • Betfred - Deposit £10, get £30 bonus.
  • William Hill - Deposit £10, get £40 bingo bonus and £10 games bonus. 2x rollover on bingo, 20x on games
  • Winner - Deposit £10, get £40 bonus. (Can only do this if you do not already have a Winner account. Bonus must be used on Vicky's Nest, Big Time Winners or Mr Winner's Wardrobe))

Seems there are two bingo operators that host games on different sites. It says in the instructions to complete one and have your funds completely withdrawn before starting another.

They are not risk free, but reading the forum, certainly seem to be loaded with value

I've decided to cash out on all my accounts today and get myself back on an even keel, take the weekend off and redeposit as needed on Monday or Tuesday. Currently £1620 up but that's really been stagnant for about a fortnight now. FGS refunds are just slowly eating away and it's good getting £90 in free bets when two come in but just as easy to hit a losing streak of 8 or 9 where you lose half of that in QLs.

I'm still only about halfway through the advanced signup offers so will more than likely be going back to those in due course. I've been dabbling in the Horse Racing refunds and the likes and simply cannot get into the accas at all. It's scrambling my brain.
