So grand national grand national coming up..anyone doing anything interesting? I have 4 free bets to use...deciding whether to match them, or put each on a different horse, and hoping one wins. Won £300 last year.
If anyone has an account with William Hill its well worth doing there risk free slots/casino offers; there's usually at least two each week ranging from £5-10. You can easily build up some funds risk-free, for more information check out MSE.

I've only made £274 since November but its money i did not have.
Seems to have been broken for past two days though, none of the offers load for me, plus have not got my £7 refund from the Frankie Dettori offer.

£274 is nothing to be sniffed at! I've been doing it since around February and I'm nearly at £100 (my OH does it too). I have to nearly always go onto chat to claim back the refunds, Frankie Dettori was a terrible slot, got nothing from it. Live casino has to be the best, roulette has a far better odds.

Erm I just chose the debit card option and then chose to add funds using a new card (there were 3 options to chose from). On the next screen they asked me for my card details.
£10 risk free is now in at WH, link is on the front page. Made a nice £36 on roulette, get on it!

Yes but since I deposited there using my debit card they won't let me withdraw using Moneybookers. Looks like I might have to bite the bullet and pay the £20 fee to withdraw using an international bank transfer :frown:


Been checking out your blog, it inspired me.

I'll take up matched betting when I turn 18 which is a few months.
I've ran out of all sign up offers!

What do I do?

Promo links still not working for me.
You only technically made £26 because you used £10 to bet with:smile: Do you go for 20-29?
Will always remember doing the Vegas £5 risk free offers and because it was only £5 thinking should i just lump it on my age instead of £1 on 5 numbers. I did the latter and my age came up twice in a row:mad:

Im sure there are still some bookies you have not signed up to. How many have you signed up to?
You can do reloads, there is a current one at Bwin, £80 free money available until 25th.

I used to just stick £10 on black or red but now I just spread 10x £1 on the numbers, slightly more return in the long run I would say and its more fun.

Great thread, I've recently started to do this myself rather than through fixtheodds. So far so good until today.

So I signed up for a bookie for the Free bet if lose offer.

I deposited £50 and placed a bet as you would normally without thinking too much about it but obviously the goal is to lose on purpose right?

The bet I placed was the Liverpool vs West Brom game later today for liverpool to win, at odds of about 1.4 and 1.43 on betfair.

I placed my lay stake on betfair for £50 as well. While I won't be getting too much of a loss, unless Liverpool lose I wont get the free bet.

Is this ok? I mean worst case is I walk away with a loss of about £2-3. Anyway for me to turn this around?

Eh, I've looked into a lot and I do think that it is technically against the law. But there are a load of other factors - it could probably never be proved, police probably aren't interested in pursuing it at all, etc.

Also, are you actually from Tanzania? I grew up there, whereabouts you from?

You should have used odds between 7-12 for the best return. You should also lay for around half of the free bet so that you win a bit more if the long-shot comes in as you will have to rollover the bonus amount.

Here's a tutorial: http://www.thegoldtiger.com/tutorials/#23 for if you want to see for any future offers.
How do you claim the £10 risk free on WH? I click the link, go to roulette or something, and don't see anywhere to 'activate' it and have £0 in my account anyway.. :/

Oo I was doing this years ago, didn't know everyone else was :smile:

This bit is new for me though;

Arbitrage Betting: This is when you find back odds considerably higher than the lay odds and you place your own money on these odds to make a profit. It is common for arbers to underlay to ensure more profit if the bet wins in the bookmaker. There is big money to be made here, and there are usually plenty of arbs to be found on horse racing for the main UK bookies, and plenty on other events (depending on the bookie) such as football, darts, tennis, golf, formula one etc...

Am I understanding this right, you bet on both sides of the outcome? Anyone got a real example of this they could talk me though? :tongue:
