Hmm looks like its only worth doing the boost on horses 10/1 or above and I dont know about you guys but I cant get the max £100 on just £73.

I was limited to 25, it’s the 2nd time I’ve randomly had the boost appear. The first time I think was a trial for this offer and I got lucky

Got on a couple of early boosts,even those are causing a headache to lay with withdrawals! Not done an each way bet yet

Yep, its just as bad as yesterday.

Such a damp squid this meet

Sleepless yeh I put the effort in but I see value in the arbs already, using oddsmonkey, so RF vs rule 4 is a bonus. Basically my info on this is:

1) Rule 4 only based on profit, RF seems the entire price and so is often higher overall. I regularly make a few quid and it all adds up
2) If the withdrawn horse is > 14/1 then smarkets reduce but bookies don’t
3) If the R4 is only 5p a lot of the major bookies don’t bother, but smarkets do obviously
4) Place reductions are often higher, but in a bookies bet they are the same Rule 4

Literally damp.

The rain really has ruined everything. If it wasnt for my lucky as hell win on the first race on Tuesday I would be down £100 with nothing to go for today and too busy to do anything tomorrow.

At least yday I had a several different risk free possibilities if triple figure wins, barely got that yet today but will see what I can find on lunch

I’m still comfortably down for the week! Trying to put that behind me now and return to aiming for best EV trusting my balances will grow over time.

Cmon you lot …rough with the smooth. In this game you have to accept there will be times when things don’t go our way and the opportunities simply aren’t there. Other times it’s a goldmine. Chris, you won a fortune on Monday! Be grateful to the matched betting God!

Got that boost thing too …increases odds by 10%

FYI …Sky doing bet 5 on a request a bet get 5 free on the footie. Might be worth punting at high odds to go for a decent win; effectively a pound loss.

sleepless, just to back up matchedem. I think BOG is one of the best offers that the bookies offer. So if you can get on a horse for zero QL or small arb early in the day then I think it is alway worth doing.

I got the email about the ‘Goodwood Festival Bet Boost’ but when I add a selection to my bet slip I don’t see a boost option?

EDIT: My mistake.. It’s only available on mobile! There now.

10bet doing risk free £10 bet and 1/4 odds today

I broke about even I would say on Goodwood so far. And never even bothered with Galway there wasn’t much going on.

I am disappointed with Bet365. For their extra place races they have opened a second tab for the 5 places with different odds. In previous big meetings they didn’t do that so you got their price promise and the enhanced terms which meant it was very easy picking off good value. Now the price promise just applies to the standard places.

Oh I’m grateful Chico, just making the point that if it wasn’t for that, I’d be £100 down over 4 days which is unheard of and unexpected for a festival like this one.

1.50 has lost another, down to money back if second only at Sky now.

Great just place my qualyfying bet (second step) no doubt it will come 3rd.

Even my arbs being declared as non runners now!

You may have missed how much non runners cost me the other day Chico…. I’m allowed a little pessimism as I look for stuff. At least I’m not banging conspiracy theories like I’ve seen when people get caught

Some eway value appearing on the 1/4 odds bookies where fields dropping to 10 or 11 now. Just hope they don’t keep dropping to 7 or less!!

Betfred boosts have turned out to be duds yet again too. No profit whatsoever.
