Just taken the plunge....

[hippylass]

I'm betting at the bookie and laying at Betfair. I will learn how to underlay/dutch etc as I go along hopefully but for now I will just be backing and laying whatever the spreadsheet tells me.

Iv'e signed up with betdaq who are an exchange like befair but can sometimes have better odds. I sent them an email asking to reduce my commision and they have lowered it ... it all helps. They also do a £25 free bet with promo code. It was 2FND09 but has prob changed now we're in 2010. Does any one know the new promo code?

Congrats on a great start to MB. I'm fairly new too and not sure I want to risk the horses as yet!

what sports are you betting on? I find basketball good for late night when there is no footie about.
Iv'e just started matched betting with the horses..it gets your heart pumping. It's good cos it's so quick to get though qualifiers but You've got to be quick, but I keep checking back and forth 10 mins before the off and missing them. Not messed any up yet thankfully.

Just signed up at Bwin via TGT link for £5 cashback. Just need to join another bookie/casino before the end of the month and that should be another £25 cashback on my way courtesy of TGT (Thanks guys )

Deposited £30 via Moneybookers and the 100% matched bonus was in straight away, so my balance was £60.

Just managed to get the lot on the half time score market (very close match close to kick off) on the Freiburg/Stuttgart match tonight in Germany.

Managed to bust out at the first time of asking thanks to a late(ish) first half goal from the away team. Came away from this one with £28.84 profit. In and out in one bet which is always nice. Odds weren't too bad either. Only took me 5-10 minutes to find a decent match.

Also did the Football1X2 offer - Deposit £10 and get another £10 free. Need to wager £30 before a withdrawal was allowed which i did on the Championship Rally Hi Lo game in the "Instant Win" section. If the ticker didn't land on 1 or 14 shuffled until it did or closed the game down and re-started if it didn't (anyone who has played the game will know what i mean!) Came away with £9.66 profit using this method and only hit the same number once when i when i went lower on a "1" only for it to land on the same number again.

noticed Uwin formerly winunited is not on ya list. Was going to tell you it is similar to the Tobet offer you've done but went to check and now its as below

1. REGISTER with Uwin
2. Make your first deposit and stake it 5 times on evens or above
3. Email us
4. Uwin will give you 50% of your deposit (up to a maximum of 30€) within 24hrs

They do seem to have quite a few no loss qualifiers about though so probably still worth doing and they have had decent offers in the recent past like the Cashback Friday one.

Thanks for this. Seems like a simple one to do, will add it to my to to do list.

Think this code might have expired now from what i have read. Can anyone confirm this?? Could do with another exchange to use instead of Betfair in case of any problems at Betfair or better odds at Betdaq. If this code isn't available now i will wait for one to hopefully come round again and get some right on it at the next time of asking. Thanks again.

I've only bet on football and horses thus far. Haven't had any problems with the horses yet. I try and get any bets on the horses on at least 20 minutes before the off (basically before the prices seem to fluctuate a lot when punters pile in just before the race starts)

With Cheltenham around the corner and a the end of the month to get all of my holiday days in i've decided to take next week off where hopefully there will be one or two reasonable offers to get stuck in to. We'll see anyway.

It's been quite quiet for me recently on the matched betting front. I've just been so busy with work and one thing or another that i have hardly had any time to do any offers. I have signed up to a handful of offers since my last post to take advantage of some smaller offers.

Betpack
I managed to make £21.04 profit from a £23 qualifying bet on the horses and the £23 freebie on the horses. Both half an hour apart. Minimum effort to find close matches/arbs. Great offer although i'm not too sure if it is still available. Odds the same as SJ.

Bet UK
Deposited £50 to be eligible for a £25 free bet. Placed it on under 2.5 goals in a football match. £25 was credited quickly and placed on the HT/FT market for £20.04 profit overall. Odds are not that great!

Sportingbet
Joined using TGT link for £5 cashback. Offer was bet £50 for a free £50 bonus which was a sticky bonus and had to be wagered a certain amount of times before it could be withdrawn (can't remember how many because the offer has gone now and i don't have the t&c's to hand but i think it was 3 times) I rather stupidly went for a 34/30 match for my qualifier on the HT/FT market and was limited massively straight away after that. I could get no more than £10 on anything and usually it was a lot less than that. Ended up mugging this offer but still ended up making £46.35. Not bad considering i made £150's worth of bets before i could withdraw (just checked that in my Sportingbet account and indeed i did make £150 worth of bets before my withdrawal was accepted)

Betwize
A £20 qualifier was matched with a £10 free bet here. A 2.3/2.36 football qualifying bet was followed up with a 17/20 HT/FT bet for the free bet. I made £6.57 overall from the offer for 10 minutes work.
