Boostin' Kev Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had an interesting situation last night that I thought people should be aware of. I took up the Dafabet sign-up offer of a maximum £30 free bet for a £30 initial bet. I placed this on Brentford and laid it on Smarket for a small loss of 81p. Brentford lost and so I won on the exchange. Happy days. However shortly after I received an e-mail from them stating that under clause 25 of their t&c's I would no longer be given any form of free bet, ever. Obviously I looked up clause 25 which basically stated they could do as they please without any justification or need to reconsider. A quick look on the PA forum shows a few others with similar fate. Pretty disappointed as you could imagine so fired off an email stating that I could no accept their decision without reasonable justification and that "as a relatively new player to online gambling" [snigger] I was deeply disappointed by their decision, asked them to reconsider or close my account with immediate effect! accused them of having no intention of honouring their promotion and threatened a formal complaint to the gambling commission. All empty threats of course. However this morning I had an email stating their decision had been reversed and bonus credited to my account. Which has been duly placed/laid on Man Utd tomorrow for a £20odd profit Worth baring in mind for anyone going ahead with Dafabet offers. £500-odd profit since Boxing Day. Just completed that one completely problem free. Registered for 138.com earlier that's had a lot of bad feedback so wilkl be cautious there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenLoyal Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nearly £250 profit since my first bet a week ago. Would have been more but I already had accounts with Sky and Bet365. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I got the Dafabet refund. But only after spending an age on chat with them. An awful bookie. Their customer service is awful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 There seems to be quite a lot involved in the 365 bet and it looks like you need a fair whack to do it. My questions for anyone who has completed it are 1) is it pretty much the same as the other bets just at a lot bigger money? 2) when its says you need £1000 in the bank does that mean you need £1000 in the exchange and then £200 on top of that too put into bet 365? 3) how much can you expect to make off the offer once you've completed it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm an existing 365 account holder so didn't do that one. Had the account years so if my other half opened an account????, then it won't look too suspect. I'll build up my bankroll first. In the meantime I'm doing some cheap fiver accas to understand the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepaisleypanda Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 i may be wrong but if you "LOSE" £200 on B365 - you would only be left with real cash, thus withdrawable! I seem to recall a reload at the World Cup, whereby £200 sounds like a lot but, when you are "turning over" that kind of money regularly it is easy to lose it - however, hopefully winning £200 / £250 from winning bets. As a mug-punter, you just try to have more winners than losers, but, inevitably there are losers along the way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I'm leaving the 365 one until last. The McBookie one was an easy £19. Edited January 19, 2016 by Billy Dynamite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 When you boys win money at a bookie instead of the exchange do you withdraw immediately so you can reinvest straight away? I seem to have money floating about everywhere just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have money floating about everywhere just now. Sometimes yes. Other times I've tried to mug bet some back to the exchange (obviously at a small loss) I think a way I'll be working in future, if they are a bookie for reloads (Paddy, Hills, 365 and lads) then I'll mug bet with the winnings. Other ones I'll withdraw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's plenty of reloads from a company then it's better to try and mug money away from them, does it say anywhere on PA which sites don't really give reloads and I'll just withdraw from them just now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 McBookie seem to offer £5 reloads all the time so they're a good one to go for if you're new to this or lacking funds for bigger offers. Their odds and the same as betVictor if you're checking them on PA or OddsTrawler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
