Cheers Sarge.

I did the Bwin £25 bonus on £25 deposit yesterday. Very quick as the bonus is added as soon as you deposit. The only problem is the highest odds you can go appear to be 3.9 as you are not allowed to win more than £200 but this may have been per bet.

Missed out on a very good odds match at 1.8 that lost (min odds 1.7) as I wanted to lose and win at the exchange for max profit and avoid the WR so went for Monaghan UTD v Derry at 3/3.2 for under 1.5 goals.

Bloody Derry didn't start knocking them in until the last few minutes of the match but a quick £20 was made biggrin

Plus I got £10 added to my Betfair account for using my mobile. Didn't know there was a deal on but I have been using the phone to place bets on the horses. Was making a profit but then started to lose all the time so I have stopped at £550 up out of nothing.

Think I'll stick to the free bets again but it will have to be all those £20 and £10 ones as I've been through the big ones.

There is a big one on 10Bet, not sure why I have not spotted it before unless it is new. 50% bonus on your deposit of up to £400. Check the T&Cs carefully as only 50% of each bet of the bonus amount is counted towards the WR.

You have to rollover the deposit once to get the bonus then it's time to lose.

ETA I've not signed up yet but I was just having a test go but most of the nearest matches that I could find where in and around the evens mark so a great danger of "winning" and losing more the next time around.

If you are dropping £5 to £8 pound per £100 bet, your £200 bonus is going to be severely eaten away. Suppose you could bet the £400 in one go on higher odds but the liability at the exchange yikes

I suppose you just have to do it slowly and in smaller amounts but make sure it's all done within the time limits.

Heads up! Sporting Bet are offering a Free bet of £20 for every day of Ascot for a £20 bet placed per day. Max of 5 x £20 free bets. I know it's harder to get a good odds match and the bets have to be placed via a mobile but worth a look.

Unfortunately I'm away from Weds so might find it difficult to do the whole lot.

Is anyone still doing this?

Was reading the MSE threads last night and while I'm interested, it does appear that the best time to be doing this was a few years back when there appeared to be lots of offers about.

Have I missed the boat, or is it still worth learning?

Definitly still worth doing.

Easily over a grand to make with just the sign up offers.

If you can only make a grand, you're doing it wrong. I did £2500 in three months of signups, from December 11 to Feb this year.

I've more or less stopped now. I did it for a total of about 2 months and finished up around £750 including cashback.

I was perhapsa bit lazy sometimes and accepted lower returns for less time/effort and I only did fairly major bookies.

£2500 is very good going! How did you manage that?!

I now have accounts with over 20 bookies but nowhere near £2500. I think on the risk free I was up to £400 and then have been doing a bit of gambling fed by more free bets. Probably around £700 up now although I did lose big a couple of times. You must have to join loads to do £2500.

I still have to embark on one of the 50% bonus up to £400 deposit types yet.

You see that's what's making me dubious. £700 up for how much of your time...? I should probably just work harder at my day job lol

You can do a simple £20 qualifier in less than a minute once you get good at looking for decent matches, or even quicker if you use one of the automatcher tools.

Some of the more complicated stuff takes a little longer to check etc and some of the mulitples you need to be on the ball with but the simple easy stuff you can do with a few minutes a day i'd say.

Start with the £10 / £20 stuff build up your float, move to the £50 stuff, do a few bet baskets and then move onto the bigger stuff such as B365 for a minimum £200 - combine this with their regular 4/1 offers and their inplay football matches, best odds on horses etc you can easily make £300 from one bookie (they then limit your account and you don't make another penny from them.... bds)

Haha, I don't do as a job. I enjoy it, it takes moments or ages, whichever way you want to play it but considering it has meant that my car repair and my flight upgrade for next weeks holiday has been paid for by just mucking about on a computer and still using PH biggrin , what's not to like.

Plus I still have a couple of hundred left over, all for free and I have not started on the more complicated stuff yet biggrin

That is good going. My profit would have been a few hundred more but I did commit a few silly mistakes ie failing to allow for SNR in the spreadsheet, and getting suckered into thinking that Laying only on horse racing was a fool proof way of making money until that 15/1 suddenly found it's legs and came in first.

I did also get into the habit of using free bets to gamble rather than matching the odds. Still it's been fun and I have learned a few things especially locking in a profit once the game turns your way, taking the cash then betting on the turning tide biggrin

Not been concentrating as much on this as I should have been doing recently and have spent most of my profit (I insured my new car amongst other things!!)

Anyway had a nice email from paddy power offering £5 free bet if i spent a fiver at the casino.

Not exactly risk free as if I didn't win at the casino i'd be hard pushed not to lose at least something on my free fiver bet.

But my roulette bet came in so i'm £36 quid up!

eta: There's also a risk free tenner available at the William Hill casino.

eta 2: My roulette there also came in - lucky number 29! so thats another £36

£72 quid profit for £5 outlay which i'll recoup on Sunday with my freebet smile

If anyone is playing the WHill freebie - there's two £5 ones available today and I had a £10 casion risk free in my messages.

Nothing from casino or the batman risk free but £29.80 from the genie jackpots slot which was nice.

WHill by far my most profitable bookie now.
