What are you guys like with bookie withdrawals? I could do with making a few large withdrawals from a couple of bookies as lately all my bets seem to be losing at the exchange but don't want to flag anything up. I just tried to mug bet a few horses to try and lose into the exchange but they all won too :o

Speaking of Roulette, just won on the mFortune risk free for new members :) Is this a daily thing?

Are you able to enlighten me what this is please?

Thanks

PLay 20 rounds of Circus Roulette tonight, get 100 spins on slots tomorrow (35x wagering). The same again tomorrow.

Most of the time you bust out, but last weekend I withdrew £130. Not bad for zero outlay :)

(and time. lots of time).

If I get a sizeable balance I just withdraw. Try not to make it too frequent (not constantly taking out 20/30 etc).

The way I see it is that if I was a regular punter (which I am as well) and had a couple of big winners then I would withdraw down to a sensible balance. Don't see why doing this should flag anything up, if anything, it would seem odd to sit there with 700+ in the account.

I just withdraw like a mug would. All this trying to do the bookie a favour nonsense and win at the exchange is in my opinion exactly what bookies look for. No mug is going to do that are they? If they win, they want the cash, simple as that. I withdraw everything.

Booyaka - did mine on PC. Mobile slots suck balls.

I've had 6 text messages from them since I signed up. "free this", "free that", all just goes in the bin. I did the offer, made a tenner, moved on. No downloading anything either.

Great stuff, withdrawn :)

Is PA that bad now? I'd like to try yesbets from all the talk here but if all they do is list the same offers as PA what would make it worth the switch?

With PA you have to pay the base sub which is £23 a month. This is worse than Yesbets as their business model seems to be to push you to pay the extra for the other bits (which they conveniently don't list on their home page). They also miss loads of offers, they rely on the community to help each other out before they step in, the community is crap, and once you've bought all the addons and extras you're looking at £50 a month.

The only thing I can think of which is better is the in-play matcher which updates odds amd matches very quickly, but to get to it will cost you £50 a month which isnt' worth it IMO.

And Oddsmonkey are awful. Fantastic tools on their own, but nothing works together so you end up jumping from page to page to get anything done.

As Diddums Forum Mod states, it got a bit OTT.

Yes, it does - it draws people onto the forums only looking to make a quick profit - there is no discussion about it whatsoever

Also tried the whole free yesbets thing, made £21.20 from Coral. Nice. Tempted to pay up now and see how much I can make in a week. I won't be doing it constantly though, I just can't really be bothered.

Does anyone have issues with bets not getting matched on betfair? Always get worried when they've sat for 5 minutes or so.

Annoyingly I'm half way through a paid year with PA as it worked out at under £10 a month (without acca/match catcher), obviously this tied me in but at the time I thought why bother with anything else :o

I just noticed the offers are starting to become very much the same each week and they don't go into much detail about decent refund offers like the high 5 I'm reading about here, they are just bunched under one horses refunds category. So far this month I'm only up £27 from sports offers compared to £300 from casino reloads which I'm starting to rely on more each month.

tried yesbets yesterday, confusing to start with but slowly starting to unravel, never placed a bet before,
what does the monthly membership offer? is it worth it?



Absolutely. I'm sure having posed that question you'll get a load of emails begging for referrals but here's a quick breakdown:

You get all the current offers listed so you can pick and choose what to go for. This is updated by the staff as soon as they're made aware of an offer either by themselves or by one fo the members in the (very good) Facebook group.

You get their oddsmatcher, which lets you select a bookie, an exchange, and put in your criteria for a bet, so qualifying bets, free bets, etc. It lists all the options which shows you the stakes and what your loss / profit will be before you've even placed a bet.

It also gives you loads of tutorials if you're new, which going by your post will benefit you greatly.

It gives you access to the aforementioned Facebook group, which not only discusses offers but members also post loads of other random stuff in there, like Bingo offers and stuff. It's an excellent community, can't speak highly enough of it.

It gives you access to a calculator, odds converters, each way calculator, and more.

Personally I'd say give it a shot for a month and see how you get on. If you don't like it it'll have cost you £15 but I'm 99% sure you will want to stay. I parrot a lot about it but if you're in to this kind of thing it's hands down the best out there.

You get two trial bets before paying, which should bring in about £30, so that pays easily for the first month. It's my logic, going to try it for a month and see how it goes.
