Does anyone have an example of a spread sheet they use to keep track? I've never really needed to used a spread sheet! so not sure what I need to add as headings etc? 🤔 Thanks

Haha I am sure if you did it full time you might be able to do £200 a day, I meant a month!
Accas are simple you just add each selection to you bet slip and it helpfully gives you the option to place the bet as an accumulator. Some you can lay the full acca on betfair, normally weekend premier league ones, but most you have to lay off individually before each match.

Start with simple bets first and when you have that straight in your head you can move on to other stuff like accas. They are a great way to make profit but if you forget to lay a leg you can lose a lot of money. I still do this sometimes I have been doing this for over a year!

I just base mine on the info from the calculator you use to do your lay bets.

Bookie, who you have backed to win, bookie odds, Bookie stake, profit/QL and whether it won at exchange or bookies, details of any offer as a result of the bet e.g. £10 free if horse comes 2nd or 3rd.

I mostly do accas now and do a mix of no lay, lockin/lay sequential and lay all at start. Terms will make sense once you starting looking in to it.

I am with oddsmonkey at the moment mainly because their acca tool is great. It picks the best matches for each bookie and method and shows you all the acca refund rules to make sure you will be able to take advantage of the free bet if triggered.

I would be cautious with horses though, from what other mb sites say they are a quick way to get limited at the bookies. I am gubbed from paddy power and ladbrokes, so I am no longer entitled to offers from them ever. I am limited to bets of only 20p on a horse. I can however bet whatever I like on football!
If you decide to do horses make sure you do regular mug bets which means don't exclusively bet to take advantage of the offers, throw in some bets that won't get you those free bets or extra places etc to try and keep your account from being restricted.
Great thank you for all this information. Makes sense to keep Accas to football from what you are saying! 20p a horse, that won't net you much will it haha!

Do you find that you should do the Mug bets anyway (even if not doing it on the races and doing it on just other sports i.e football) or is that mainly something you need to do if you are doing a lot of it on the racing?

I won't be doing the horses until I am comfortable anyway with the whole single bets on football thing, and then once I get comfortable with the races as well then I can move on to the football Accas if I want to try them out - I think I need to go in stages

You will be amazed in a few weeks time when you realise how much you have learned and earned. It's also a great time too with the World Cup coming up.

I do a mix of horses, footy, major sport events and low risk casino. You will lose bookies but the earning motivates you to move on.

I'm with Profit Squad, they have all the learning material and betting tools and a great support network. We also use a chat app where we all share our successes and motivate and help each other.
Did you feel clueless when you first started and sceptical? I’m gonna give it ago but only starting with £50 and build it up slowly.

I still feel clueless until I start I suppose.

I was talking to DW about this last night after reading the other thread and she wants us to do it. DD is interested too, but will see how I get on for a bit first!

I signed up to a Starling account (VERY easy!) as I don't want to muddle my normal bank account with it. Once I get the card from that I'll put £200 seed money in and go from there. Had a look at YesBets last night and like the look of it, so will probably just go with them.

Will you use your starling account to transfer funds through. Say from betfair to the bookies?

I'm going to be using my Starling account for it all. It's just a basic current account so shouldn't be any issues
