Betfred big win,Gubbing ahead?

So I logged into Betfred as they had a money back offer on the 8.20pm at Chelmsford.
Noticed a horse Theydon Thunder at 11,On Smarkets it was 9.2,Quickly put £15 on and laid for 9 in the end so £3.04 profit,Nice I thought.Then I went onto my BF account,had enough to do £25 at 11/9.6 so another £2.32 made,£5.34 profit altogether,lovely jubbly.But,guess what happened? Yes,It won,ba**s,Now I have £475 in Betfred!! Will have to withdraw at least £300 to replenish my exchange accounts.Will try to ‘mug bet’ the rest over the next few days.Typical,£40 on it and it won at 10-1 pah!!

New to matched betting?

My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

The fact you put a bet on, then another I think thats a clear dodgy sign of someone arbing, but if its your first time i’m sure you’ll be fine.

Also you should really look at using smarkets and not betfair!

Ha ha cheers lads! I only had enough in Smarkets to put the 1st £15 on Ryan,then decided to do the £25 as I had enough in BF to cover that as well.
Don’t use Betfred much,I have a browse for the small arbs now and again,and the offers.ps withdrew £400 in the end left £75 in there!

If you think that is bad , i just over underlayed ( took a loss) 200 euro of free bets on a horse yesterday at 12/1 and today at 125 euro free bets at 9/1 with PP Free bets in stores today – They both won, i was ragging , I’ve had to go around the shops and collect over 3000 and lodge it back into my bank, such a ball ache!!

I was wondering do people take the guaranteed 80percent as i haven’t been and its cost me badly these last few days – i have actually lost 100 euro with 325 of free bets as those horses won and i tried to get the full 25 on each –

I am of the thinking it evens it self out over time , but maybe I’m wrong? What do u guys do ?

Did the same Biscuit, only I had £20 on Theydon Thunder.

Is it me, but when I was a mug punter, I’d often pour over the form in the Racing post, pick out my “sure winners”, and lose the lot.

Now I’m match betting, I’m randomly picking horses and getting winner after winner, got tons of cash in various bookies accounts, (luckily I have, or had, a big float in smarkets to cover it all still), and going to have to mug bet, or be very selective to wind down my balances in the bookies.

I’ve just worked it out, instead of being £500+ up through my match bets during September, If I’d just let my bets ride and hadn’t layed them off, I’d be over a £1000 up.

Makes you laugh really :(

Once put a £75 free bet on a 16/1 shot, pointless really the return was only like 80%, which can be achieved with like 6.0/6.0

Yes the horse won
