Can't believe how many offers there are around today though!!

Oh, and 0% commission on Smarkets today due to a f up during the Arsenal match last night

Hi, @Jon Hope you had a good holiday :)

Quick quandary: Placed a bet on Liverpool just as it started, eek! (unintentional, thought it was due to start at 3pm). Could not lay it off as the odds shot up.
I have placed a Lay Bet for similar odds on a different game to just get a 60p QL instead of potentially losing my original stake on Liverpool if they lose.

Was this my best option (apart from cashing out)?

Also this way, if Liverpool happen to go on and win I should then place a bet on the second game (supposing I can get similar odds to the lay I have already done on it)?

Have I made it more complicated than I should have - or used my bird brain, ha ha!

Edit: Liverpool were 2 1 down when I wrote this, they are currently 3, 2 up

I assume the offer needs a pre match bet and not an in play one?

If you've now laid it and the worst you've come out of it is a 60p QL with a free bet to come I'd say it's not the end of the world

I've managed to Lay it on Liverpool now at lower odds so will end up with £3.42. I know I could have let it roll and hope for the bet to win and get alot more but I wimped out :(

Another quick question - promise I'll stop after this one :) :

Got £10 on Liverpool at 1.53
Laid it off at 1.14, so should get around £3.42 back.
If I cash it out - currently at £13.98, what would I end up with

a) if Liverpool go on to win e.g lose at the Exchange
b) if Liverpool go on to lose e.g win at the Exchange

liability is £7.79

What would you do?

Don't cash out is my answer

Matched Betting is all about making GUARANTEED MONEY and your £3.42 is LOCKED IN!

@Jon was right (even though the draw now makes him look wrong). This is about making GUARANTEED money, not betting

Thanks @Jon just can't seem to get my head around the figures at all. Hope to get back into MBing this season but wish I could understand it more.

I had an unhappy son and husband last night as I was cheering for Arsenal for my 4mm (they are Spurs fans)
On 4mm with Man City just because I got a perfect match and 0% commission with Smarkets meant its a completely risk free shot at a very tiny free bet.

Need to have a nosey and see if there is anything else going on. Only just got in. My son had a footie match 2 hours away and there was loads of traffic getting back so we were out for 8 hours total, bleurgh

You going to be using that 2up tool on PA?

I remember you doing that offer a fair bit last season?

I didn't realise there was one! Yes, definitely will. Will be keeping my beady eyes peeled for a perfect match for tomorrow's matches while Smarkets is still commission free.
4mm and 2up make watching the footie with the fam just as much fun for me as for them :)

Just a hint - if there is a 4MM when Spurs are playing Arsenal, under no circumstances place a bet. Not unless you have a lot of money saved for the inevitable Divorce Lawyer ;). Because no matter who you bet on, if the result goes wrong for your family, it will be your fault!

Not sure I'm getting the hang of this. Spent 5 hours putting my first two bets on, the second one went horribly wrong but thanks to the lovely man on profit accumulater it should come out okay.
Felt brave to open my account with betfred...now I can't find the teams I want to back bet with them.

How do you navigate betfred?

Also I'm worried as the first free bet I put on, something about there not being enough people betting..
He advised me to put min. Availability of £30 in the filter on oddsmatching. Should I?
Exhausted and stressed right now, it wasn't the effect I was going for!
