General Rules of thumb need confirming

  • It seems to me that a few things seem to crop up and i want to check if they are real rules to live by or just random chance. Can anyone give a good detailed answer about my rules so we can understand.

    1. On a free bet higher back odds mean more money and could be worth more than the free bet. (i know its rare to get odds of say 20 back and 10 lay but the calculator tells me i will make 18.10 off my £10 free bet)

    2. Its easier in general and less money moves around slowly if the exchange bet wins. because instead of withdrawing it you can just lay it again.

    3. For sites with wagering requirements e.g. x6 bonus amount. If we lose at bookie and win at exchange its over in two bets. e.g. qualify a £20 free bet, then lose at bookies with free bet and money comes through at the exchange.

    Hope for some good answers to just some nagging questions i thought best shared with experienced people. Am going to test everything with monopoly money.

    1. Yep and the opposite is true that short odds seem to work out better for qualifying bets. If you are betting on short odds with your real money bets and betting on long odds on your free bets it sticks out like a sore thumb though and the bookie will know what you are up to. So I think it’s worth hunting for shorter odds on your free bet and can get good extraction on 9/2 or around that.

    2. People find this more convenient sometimes. But no way you can control that. Since the value is coming from the bookie offers you should expect money to build up in your bookie account and will be constantly topping up your exchange.

    3. I think there has been enough discussion on this. Comes up almost every day. And is related to point 2.
