The Christmas Challenge, See how much we can all make.

I'm up £25 on today (god knows how, bloody awful day on horses) but don't add it yet, I'll just update my post above with that table in it so you can see what profit/loss I made on each type of 'action' and then let you know when I do it.

Thanks again to smk for the full access, got on one of the topbetter arbs today, very nice. Couldn't put a lot on since it was 41/34 and I only had £800 betfair float free so just £20 on... still nice £3 profit. Every little counts.

@Tom - What's the £70 Zedbet one, is that the intro bonus?

Yeah, only just signed up since they seem to have a pretty good record so far.

Yes I've been very happy with them so far and if it wasn't for all the negative hype and the fact they're a smaller bookie, I'd say they were one of the best bookies I've used to date. Only small exception was when they settled a bet before the event had ended, but I've never had any other problems with the site or with money transfers to/from them.

Munk - The Littlewoods one is the 10p daily scratchcard. I only count the profit once I can make a withdrawal, which is £10 mimimum, and as there was a free £1 yesterday I could withdraw £11

Thanks for the dutching links - I have printed out some of the stuff - just need to get my head round it now.

No probs hope it helps, I still don't fully get handicapping but occasionally match up 'like for like' handicap markets but that's for another thread I guess

If you want to dutch non-like for like:

Match handicap is equivalent to asian handicap half a point below it.

Team A +1 Match Handicap = Team +0.5 Asian Handicap
Team A -1 Match Handicap = Team A -1.5 Asian Handicap
and Match Odds is basically a 0 match handicap so
Team A = Team A -0.5 Asian Handicap

If you want to mix handicaps, just make sure the + side is greater than the - side.

Team A+1 : Team B - 0.5
Team A-1 : Team B +1.5
