Really is one of those 'it's up to you' situations. First you need to be acting within the terms of the offer. Does it allow you to bet the no-lose bonus and then withdraw (your own money, their money or a combination) without any further betting? Are they a solid bookie where to bet at high odds and lay the bet would cause little concern should the bet win and a bunch of money ends up at the bookie? Generally as long as the bookie appears relatively solid, I might bet high odds, do a partial lay to lock in some profit from the bonus and if the bet wins it should mean it's been a nice little earner. It's one of those questions which has no definitive answer and beyond the things I've mentioned, personal situaitons such as level of your float and aversion to risk come into it... as with any bet which might have a large liability.

I have a dispute with a reputable bookmaker who paid out on a voided darts match and then cancelled it after I tried to withdraw the winnings. The dispute involves whether I bet in play or pre match. I was in their in play menu which stated the match started at 11-10. my bet was Placed at 11-11 and they r now saying the match never started until 11-15. the bet was part of an accumulator and paid out over 5.5k. They are now offering a free £50 bet but have taken away my winnings. Any advice on what to do next?

Hi, some bookies offer an ongoing that adds a certain percentage to the winning should your multiple bet win. I am wondering how to compute the odds for each separate leg when you lay for such offer, taking into the additional winning into consideration.

Assuming an offer of adding 10% to your winning for a 4 way multiples, making up of 4 bets of different odds at the bookie, can anyone illustrate the mathematics to me? Many thanks in advance.

I've just uploaded a spreadsheet to a new thread here:

Hi All, What sites would you recommend me keeping a few £s in? I have decided to leave £5 in WilliamHill for the risk free casino/game offers they do. Is there anywhere like this? Cheers

Are you wanting to avoid commission on currency trade back to $AUD?

I would probably keep >£40 in WillHill for offers. Just yesterday there where 3 offers with a total of £22 risk free.

It depends on your float I suppose. I would prefer to have money in all the big UK books for arbing/ ongoing offers.

Also, if you havent already done so, sign up to the Auzzie Books, to start - IASbet and Sportsbet.com.au are both paddypower skins with regular offers for horse racing, NRL etc.

I really like Auzzie books, until I am limited at least.

We would need to know where you have accounts before saying which are best to leave money in.

Hi Kranz. Thanks for that. I have an account with most uk books which I joined while mbing to come over here. I used to always do the bonus and move onto the next one. I am going to leave £20 in William Hill just for the no risk deals they do. Thanks for the heads up on the Aussie bookies they are on my to do list.

How do I see my pending bets at youwin? I'm sure there must be a way to see what I've bet on but I can't find it. I can see the market I bet on and the stake in transaction history but nowhere can I find my selecction displayed or the odds taken.
