Has anyone tried using US bookies? Or is this not possible? And also has anyone ever tried making a second account with a different bank account/address?

Just for the record I have made over £500 matched betting with just the major bookies and the same for several friends and family members so I whole-heartedly recommend it!

I've looked through lists of sign up offers, and done them all (well apart from ones which have bad reviews, don't pay out etc.). Funnily enough though Bwin is not one i've done :colondollar:. Is there a list or such of current reload offers? I never seem to get any through email.


There is the WH live Casino £10 refund offer and the £50 free bet for the Man Utd V Man City game, where you have to bet £50 pre game, then bet £50 in play. If your in play bet loses you get your money refunded.

You really want to be looking at the MSE forums daily for current reload offers.

You might want to try Pinnacle for dutching but im not sure about offers at US bookies, i havent even signed upto Pinnacle.

I would'nt advise trying to fool the bookies with new accounts, if you have parents who live at a different address or a partner, then use their details like you have already done. Trying to lie about your own identity is a bad idea. Dont fancy trying to withdraw a four figure sum from a bookie and they refusing because you lied.

Pinnacle don't offer a SUB but are good as you can dutch there rather than pay Betfair commission. There are other US bookies which offer SUBs but you need to ensure that you know a bit about the bookie. There are some very dodgy ones out there. There are plenty of lists out there for example at the gambling times and MSE. Check these places before depositing any money.

Definitely would'nt try to dupe the bookies. It is fraud. Some guy got sent down a month or two ago. Admittedly he had 100's of false I.D's but it's still not worth it.
Anyone got experience betting in euros? How does it work with betfair and carD commission is it worth it

Do you mean at a bookmaker which uses Euros?

If so just use XE currency converter before filling in your spreadsheet. I don't think there are any card commissions but i guess it depends on your bank.

I would say it is definitely worth it.

Which bookie are considering using?
The PP Facebook enhanced specials are amazing. Small max bets but laying against it guarantees £10-£15 usually.

No worries mate. Probably for the best.

For SUB's there's a decent list here - http://www.thegoldtiger.com/bookmakers/

These are all 'safe' bookmakers - in that they are most reputable and likely to honour their bonuses. That's the list i use but there is obviously other sites such as OLBG and freebets.

Have a look through those to see if there is any you haven't done yet.


I used the Betting Bible quick £300+ strategy. They've got an oddsmatcher on there, and they do a decent summary of the offers by how much you actually have to stake as well as just the size of the offer.

Guys I just looked at fixtheodds and read up a bit on matched betting and it makes sense.
However, what I didn't figure out yet is how do you actually get paid out?
I mean most of the betting sites have a limit of say 100 under which they will not pay out.

So do you just set another bet with the amount you have until you either have all the money in the lay bet bank or reach the limit on the bookmaker?

I think you want to place bets where you are likely to lose so that you end up with your money in your betfair account. If you win at the bookies you can just repeat and you'll just be a few pennies worse off, unless you are consistently unlucky and win at bookies.

Thank you. I actually started my first bet today. I actually made an error when entering the bet (or I am sure that I entered it correctly at betfair, as I checked it twice, however, what it displayed after sending the bet was a bit different...), I calculated the new loss and I am just a few pennies worse off. So I should be fine.

So... coming back to this after a long break (not had enough time)...

Any particularly good offers out there, from lesser known books? I've done most of the popular ones.

What do you mean? They won't pay out unless you have more than £100 in your account?

Which bookmakers have these limits?

Oddschecker has £60 free bets for Paddy Power, SportingBet and Coral if you have not done those already?

Im also strugging, signed up to 30 bookies and after the recent Bet770 reload just didnt search for more offers. Might wait and see what reloads appear for Euro 2012.

Has anyone done the 10bet max. Where youd deposit £400 and get the £200 bonus. If so what approach did you use to get the most of the winnings
Stuck on the bet-at-home offer. Deposited and bet £90 and got my free bet of £45. Aimed to lose all the bets but I accidently won one which gave me an extra £120 which I need to bet through and lose. The only problem is I haven't found any decent bets (of odds of about 10 or above) for weeks and the terms state that I must bet through the deposit and free bet four times before making withdrawals (which would be a total of £540 which I'd have to bet). This offer has taken so long that my float is no longer big enough for this.

Google underlay calculator you can you it's to adjust the lay stake to profit only from a loss at the bookmaker so your not losing money as you roll it over

Why do you needs odds for 10 or over? is it SNR? If it is id lower your searches to around 6/7 thats still unlikely to happen.
Are you using oddsmonkey premium for your searches?

Cant really do anything about the float except put more money in when you have it. What are the minimum odds?
Thinking of getting into this, but one question.

Is this something which you can profit from over a long period of time? Or are there just a number of 'beginners deals' which one you use up, you're just kinda stuffed and have to use them all again with a different account ?

Sorry for being such a newb!
