Arb opportunity on Stranraer - Queens Park.

Stranraer double chance - 1.85 (SkyBet)
Queens Park - 2.37 (McBookie)

Looks like McBookie spotted your post, they've removed the market, temporarily probably.

Had to go with:

Stranraer double chance - 1.83 (SkyBet)
Queens Park - 2.30 (Paddy Power)

Think QP will win so just used SkyBet to cover the PP stake. Not too well up on arbs.

P.S. Cancelled bets, realised I'd messed up the arithmetic and would have lost a fair bit if QP don't win. Will have to do a bit of honing up on arbing. 

P.P.S. I can't see a way of making a decent profit with no chance of losing without betting in the thousands.

Ah sorry I probably should have put values into my post.

I've gone for:

£300 on Stranraer double chance @ 1.85 = £555

£250 on Queens Park @ 2.37 = £592.50

I suppose it really depends on what you see as considerable profit. I tend to bet big on singles and have a couple ridiculous £5 accumulators a week so these bets *shouldn't* throw up too much suspicion from the bookies. I'm probably also in their good books for throwing away a ludicrous amount of money into their casinos during lockdown but that's a different story. So yeah, I see these arbs as a way of getting a 'free' takeaway and some cans on a Saturday night.

Fair enough, I'd have to check my sums a few times before doing that. McBookies are back up with the QP odds down to 1.85 so you got in just in time.

P.S. Don't think you have to explain every tip so thickos like me can understand them anyway! It was genuine free money. :thumsup2

PP Free £5 bet on Saturday evening’s Liverpool v West Ham game. 

And again on Sunday’s Man City v Liverpool game. 
Warning - If your free bet is voided, you get nothing. I took Antonio as anytime goal scorer for the Liverpool v West Ham game. He didn’t play, the bet was voided, but no credit free bet was offered.

One of my mates does but he bets 10s of 1000s annually.
I used to get the £50 and had a few decent winners on it. They then reduced that to £10 and in the last few months, put it back up to £25. Strange

Did you change your betting patterns at all? I'm the same but still on £10, which I can't be arsed with, the £50 was much more fun. I've tried boycotting them for a bit, then using them more often but nothing works. I was always careful with the £50 to leave a tiny chance of losing but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Not sure what's happening with you. I usually put my pre match bet on something I know is going to be void beforehand (took Aguero first goal on Sunday knowing he was injured) meaning I basically just get a free inplay without risking anything beforehand

Edit - whoops just noticed you're referring to the Paddy Power free bet and not bet365s matched inplay freebie. Its early in the morning :lol:
