365 Bonus tips

Remember Smarkets offer 0% commission on QPR matches… Reduces QLs.

I’ve been using football matches with a back bet on every outcome to work through the bet365 bonus, instead of back/lay – If you can get a match where the odds are slightly longer on smarkets than at the bookie then that helps offset losses a bit.

Also it doesent require as large a balance as back/laying does. To get minimal loss on lay bets requires you to find long odds and then have a large balance to make the lay bet.

Main downside is, with only 3 possible outcomes theres usually a solid chance of winning at the bookie and losing at the exchange rather than vice versa.

With bet365 the rollover is reasonable at least though. I also used my bet365 balance to match some offers from other sites while I was waiting for it to roll over.

I’m no expert and maybe I’m just lazy than being totally efficient. But I placed my 400 Qualifying deposit and 100% FB on odds 3 (Liverpool, v Tottenham this weekend). The lay odds at the time were 3.15. Maybe I could have found closer odds between 3 – 3.15, but that’s what I went for with the float I had and the matches available with that much money involved.

The current lay odds for Liverpool are 3.2, that makes -15 QL on the 200, and 184.81 extract off the deposit bonus. So overall a profit of 169.81 which is 85% extract. Which is above average for extract from a FB generally.

I’d rather Liverpool not to win obviously, but if they do, I’ll have enough to withdraw from bet365 at least.

Note: your float must be over 840 to place your lay bet. Which is why a lot of people leave this offer for last.
