Ladbrokes btts offer on last night, saturday and next saturday yielded £200 in free bets for me but some of the matches cost a bit to get on as prices cut nearer ko.

Done that myself last night and made £127 profit. Planning on hitting it again for the Scottish cup final.

Out of interest, did you place all you're bets in the same shop? All the £25 max?

I basically covered the ht/ft market Liverpool/Liverpool, Draw/Draw and Sevilla/Sevilla. Overlaid the Sevilla bet after 20mins to ensure no loss as long as they didn't score before half time, which at that point they didn't. Laid the draw/draw 5 mins before the goal which was lucky I guess. Then laid the Liverpool bet when they went ahead, underlaying as I fancied them to win it but ensuring a break even if they didn't.

Also backed 1-1 which I laid off after the equaliser.

So a bit of risk in there but nothing I wasn't prepared for. Decent offer. I'll likely use a similar strategy on Saturday.

I went to 8 different shops in the Newcastle area as was heading there anyway after work, will retrace steps to collect free bets maybe lay some against saturday horses during best odds guaranteed hours and stick some euros bets on and do same again on fa cup final (different offer down here)  I was down about £60 last night which is more than i hoped, wouldn't have minded one winner to offset commission but will be able to do them earlier on saturday so jump all over best price matches hopefully.  I also laid btts slightly just to ensure it wasn't a wasted journey.

Not really tbh. I keep mine rolling and tell my gf and sister about any great offers but it's few and far between.

I will also state for the record my girlfriend and sister are not the same person.

Will have been a lot of happy MB'ers with that late Atheltico goal at the weekend.  Didn't take part in it myself, the QL's I saw were pretty big.

 

I'm going through the loopholes/slots/bingo stuff until the Euros start, not having much joy tbh but I think you need to keep grinding through them for the occasional big win that makes it worthwhile.

I've got 3 skybet accounts, so on their bet £10, get a £3 free bet when your team wins a match on all 3, covering France, Germany and Spain.

 

Betfair Sportsbook doing bet £25, get a fiver for every winning match, and opted for France.

 

Paddy's top goalscorer looks to have a fairly big QL, and it's only a fiver for every match he scores in, rather than every goal.  Might look at that nearer the time.

William Hill are doing this type of offer, but I think it's purely for England. Only a £10 stake required for £5 free bet each time they win though.

 

BWin are doing a free bet up to £50 if you back England in their match against Russia and they lose.

Looks like the PA oddmatcher is still shite, haven't looked at it in a while. Does anyone have a link for one elsewhere?  The other one I was using is now subscription only.

Anyone tried betfair trading? That betfair community trading sites caught my eye but I dunno if I can be arsed with another sub.

I do a bit of pre race horse racing trading aswell as the over/unders market on the football and a couple of tennis strategies. I was a member of the Betfair trading community but don't think it's worth the money tbh. They have some good data for tennis strategies but that's about all I got from it. There is loads of stuff out there for trading for free. YouTube vids etc.

If you were really looking to get into it I would advise downloading one of the trading software programmes like Bet Angel or Geekstoy who have I think 1 month free trials and see if you like it.

You got an idiots guide to what it's about IB? Been reading a bit about it on the PA forums.

It's as simple as backing high and laying low. With horse racing it's all about short term price movements, reading what's happening between all the runners and placing your bets in the market accordingly. Would strongly recommend watching a guy called Caan Berry, he has loads of videos on YouTube and explains everything much better than I could. Also Bet Angels YouTube channel is great aswell.

With the football I use a few different strategies. A simple one to start with is called Lay the Draw (again, loads of YouTube videos about this). Where you lay the draw prior to the game and close your position once a goal has been scored and the odds on the draw have increased.

Basically if you lay the draw at 3.5 and a goal is scored after 10 minutes and the back price is now 6.5 you can close your position guaranteeing a profit across all outcomes. Need to pick your games carefully for this as if an outsider scores first it can go against you and the odds on the draw would actually decrease.

Would it be a wise strategy to pick games where both teams are priced about EVS or higher and then it wouldn't matter who scores?
