I’m stuck with trying to wager through £900 with Mansion Bet. To find a good match with a rating of over 95% generally means betting on the favourite, which means winning! And if it’s not a favourite, there’s not enough money in the exchange to place a large bet. I was hoping to lose to the exchange and be done with it!

Oh wow, £900?! That's insane! That sounds really stressful, I hope you manage to wager it all successfully soon!

Thank you for your help - and thank you too OLS! - going to give it a go tonight and see where I end up.

Happy betting all!

Thanks, I’m getting there but it’s been a long slog!

I did the mansion bet a couple of months ago, keep plugging away at it when you find good matches, I think from memory you have a month to get through it?

I’ve only had one free bet for the last in play champions league last week!

That is normal. Usually international matches don't qualify for the usual bet365 offers such as 2 ups. Inplay free bets do occur but its usually for the knock out stages of major tournaments. You will hear if there has been an offer on a particular match pretty quick.

WH are paying 6 places instead of 3 on today's Newbury 14:40 race. I know someone on here has said there's not much value in these but I've done quite well out of them so far. A few hits and misses but the money made on the hits has more than covered the misses.

I'm interested to know, for those of you who do some extra place offers, how you approach it? Personally I do a bit of reading up on racing sites like The Racing Post to try and pick a horse that I think will make it to the extra place positions, rather than just going for the lowest QL horse on the matcher which might only have a very outside chance of placing.

Today I've strayed into actual gambling as I realised that by placing a lower stake than the OM calc suggested and not laying it, if I win I'll get the same or higher profit and if I lose the same QL as if I'd laid it so figured why go through the extra aggro. So I've bet £2 EW on 2 horses so £8 total. Not laid either. My QL will be £8 obviously but if I'd laid it would have been closer to £9. I've not done this before so will be interesting to see how it works out. If laying it had been better economically I'd have laid for sure.

Jackpot Joy & Heart Bingo I think was 30 free spins (wager free) and 200 bingo tickets and the other 3 were 30 free spins, then they all will allow you to play the "free game" which as it's your first time gives you 30 shots at picking from a board which can earn more free spins or cash prizes.

It's a bit laborious but I do the daily free games on Stars Spins, Heart Bingo, Jackpot Joy, Virgin and Monopoly. At the end of the month there's special games for extra slots and I also get box bonanza pop ups too. I would say I make at least £15 a week, but also had a £25 bonanza box from Heart the other day. It's worth my time. One week I got the 50 spins and made at least £35 from that particular site.
I am really lucky with casino offers but they are what keeps me going. Came out with £35 after wagering this morning with Volt Casino.

There is often MASSIVE value in these races but playing them a certain way. There is significant EV if you cover the entire field. Now you can't do this online, at least not with one account. With today's race having 14 runners, you'd probably need 5 WH accounts to do this safely and limit the risk to your accounts.

However, they run the same offer in their betting shops where anyone can wander in off the streets and place bets.

That's what a number of us from the Profit Squad community were doing this morning. I have 4 WH shops in my town so it doesn't take long to whizz around them all. I'd placed some bets online with two WH accounts - one that is healthy and some top-ups bets with an old gubbed/restricted account.

The result of the race wasn't brilliant - as a relatively short-priced horse won - but it was good enough. I cleared around a £300 profit on this one race.

Related to the above, it's now two weeks until the Grand National. This is the ultimate Each Way Dutching race where it is likely that you'll be able to cover the whole field using bookies who are paying out up to 8 extra places and be in with a chance of a good profit.

Additionally, Bet365 tend to hand money out with a "Bet £250 in each way bets and we'll give you £125 cash back" offer.

[JoJo88]

Is cash out something that we would ever use? I ask because I’ve got a £200 bet on the England game, (to draw) and if I’d cashed out at the bookies when England were 1-0 down it said £275 cash out, and at the exchange it had my full liability next to cash out. So would I have been £75 up? What am I missing? I must be missing something or why would we not do that all the time?


Okay, the cash out figure can’t be the full liability, that doesn’t make sense, but I’m too scared to press the button to see what happens in case it does actually cash it out!
