Risk free matched betting using bookie offers

Remember to stick the £10 in stake forfeit box for an SNR
You'll see it makes quite a difference with low odds ... ie not worth it.

If you can get those odds above, grab them!!!!


If sky is 8.5, any lay odds <9 are very acceptable for this offer.

Bit close to the kick off there to be entirely comfortable!

[richardxjr]

Sky might text you with a £5SNR for £5, they did with me.

Otherwise Totesport's £10SNR for £10 is a good next one to test out



ETA Tom's profit will be sitting in his BF account now

(I'm offline until Sunday lunchtime now)

Richard, how long does the BF £25 bonus take to appear. I've staked over £30 with them now, but nothing yet...

48hrs (ETA I've never had a bonus credit on a weekend though, I suppose they catch up on Monday)

Tom, glad that quali worked out. I would have held out for a better match, to lose <5%. That's really close odds around 2, ie 2.00 : 2.05 or better.

Presumably on qualifiers such as these you are generally looking for low odds (although they need to be over those stated in the t&c's - 2.0 in this case), and then move onto looking for high odds for the £10 free bet?

Yep, spot on. It's all about the match, the relationship between the back and lay odds. So if you can get say 5.5 : 5.4 that will be more profitable than 8.0 : 8.8.

Sky £5 quali:

Chelsea win 1.91 : 1.93 on BF

17p loss.

If you rounded down your lay stake from £5.08 to £5, you'd lose 10p on back win and 25p (5%) on lay win.

This is underlaying. With really short odds like this I do now employ this to make up for the hassle/delay/cost caused by a bookie side win.

Worth considering and reading up on.

Totesport 10snr.

74.8%, not too bad at a first glance

Chelsea Liverpool again, Half Time/Full Time market, Draw/Draw, 6.0:6.4 presently.


Doing this would also mean you're now over the £25 stakes to release the BF £25 bonus in 48hrs

For the mobile offer, you'll want high odds on a £40+ SNR. 25% refund of your lay liability to a max of £100.

Boyle and Coral both offered a £40snr for £20, but need careful searching for. Or there's Ladbrokes £50snr for £50, and WillHill's £60snr for £30 should be available next weekend. There's plenty others, but these are nice and simple still. You'll find lads offers terrific odds.

On Wednesday I said:

Shuvi, Sun night's Granada v Mallorca, for a £50 free SNR
Back correct score granada 1-0, lads, 8.0 £50
Lay correct score granada 1-0, BF, 7.8 £45.16

Good example there of grabbing early good odds. Now, Lads are still 8.0 but it's gone out to 8.8 to lay.

If you can't find any good odds, leave it until later. I've got 2 free bets waiting to place and I won't settle for under 75%. Once you've utilised a sign up offer it's gone, so make the most of each one.

Have a look at horses odds tomorrow. They need researching about but there are advantages with them: good odds and it's over quickly . Certainly don't be scared of horse racing.

[richardxjr]

Almost Tom. Try sticking £5 in the Stake Forfeit box (SNR)

You're understanding the relationship with odds though. You'll never get a legit 10.0:1.01 but you may get say 10.0:9.5 You'll see this is more profitable than 9.5:10.0

[richardxjr]

What was the score Shuvi? Did your bet win at bookie side or lay side?


Found it. Match abandoned. Free bet has been returned @ Ladbrokes, your stake (liability) will also be returned at BF UNLESS match was rescheduled before midnight last night and to be replayed in the next three days. In that case your lay bet still stands and you'd need to replace the back bet.

Perhaps a call to BF CS might clarify what's happened.

Edited by richardxjr on Monday 21st November 09:40

[richardxjr]

I can't see that this has been rescheduled, so you are due a refund from BF.


I hope you haven't placed another mobile bet since this one. You'll need to find another match and once again use your mobile for the lay.
It won't be difficult to find another good match with Lads.


WRT the laddies slip, that's not 2 bets. It's your first bet being placed, then ending with a refund of your £50 free bet stake.

AP News said:

GRANADA, Spain (AP) — A Spanish league match between Granada and Mallorca on Sunday was abandoned in the 63rd minute after a linesman was hit in the face by an umbrella hurled from the stands at Los Carmenes stadium.

The referee immediately ordered his fellow officials and the teams off the pitch, with Granada winning 2-1. After some 20 minutes, he announced the match would be continued at a later date.

This is why betting on markets with matching rules is recommended

Phone CS though.

Tis a bugger, that lay bet would have won on the lay side.

Nice match shakotan!

Using the mobile offer for the free bet? (same game?)

Balls, I forgot about that one. I'll do it for my SNR bet.

Correct. You use it for the free (SNR) bet. Opt in to the offer, only use the mobile for this one bet and you get back 25% of your lay liability up to £100 max refund.

I note you mentioned about using the free bet on the same game. Does Ladbrokes not credit the free £50 after the first bet is complete? Nothing is showing in my Ladbrokes account?

Can't remember, what does the T+C's say. I know one thing they do say, in order to qualify for the free bet you have to place your 1st bet on the same day as registering on their website.

Shuvi/shakotan

Lads free SNR tonight's Tottenham v Villa.

Correct score 2-0 or 2-1 are both currently 9.0:9.6. 80% return and £360 liability.

Edited by richardxjr on Monday 21st November 10:24

[richardxjr]

S'alright. There'll be plenty of good matches at Lads.

[richardxjr]

Shuvi Tupya said:

Ok, phoned CS and the '3 day rule' applies.

Would i be right in thinking that if this match gets finished in the next 3 days, i will be btter off as the refunded laddies bet was a loser anyway?

No, your bet's been cancelled at Lads and they've reinstated your £50 free bet money.

Unless that match is rescheduled to play in the next 3 days (unlikely imo) then BF will also re-credit your account.

[richardxjr]

Shuvi Tupya said:

I understand that but if the game does go ahead now all i will have in place is the lay bet, which is a winner. I would not bother reinstating the laddies bet..

right?

Wrong. The bet has been cancelled at Ladbrokes. IF the match plays again before Wednesday (which it most likely will not) you'll need to place your back bet again.

No fixture is yet listed for the replay of this game.
