Gubbed….Again.
-
Well, this has made me realise how totally random it is to getting restricted. I have had my William Hill account for almost a year and absolutely smashed them for all their free bets.
I recently created an account for my girlfriend just before Cheltenham and have won the odd free bet….however, that account has just been restricted. How the hell can an account that’s been open for like 2 weeks and received hardly any free bets get gubbed whilst my account which has taken the piss in constant free bet abuse remain fine…Just makes no sense at all!?

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.

I personally think if you open an account and dive straight in throwing £25 on every race at Cheltenham it’s going to stand out. That’s why I think I got quickly gubbed by ladbrokes opened an account first weekend did £25 on five horse races hoping my horse finished second got gubbed in Monday. I only now do horse racing bets on big races or on the sky specials and leave the rest alone. I don’t do horse racing and have made £800 a month for the last three months that will do me. I stick to accas that’s were the money is at and I put my freebets on doubles and trebles that’s also less obvious in my opinion.

800 per month with no horses is awesome work Jeff.
What bookie do you do your accas on?

That’s a proper badass…

I do my accas in William hill and coral. Was also using bet victor but got gubbed.

I rarely go near the horses either, sticking just to football. I only do about £400 a month. Must get into accas!
Back on topic, hardly gubbed as well.

Everyone should take advantage of the horse racing offers whilst they are still around. Ladbrokes and WH won’t be offering it every Channel 4 race day permanently. Yeah you’ll get gubbed but you’ll get gubbed eventually anyway so can you afford not to do these offers? I will have to sit down and see how much the 2nd place refunds have earned me since August 2015 but its easily £5-6000. Its why I really am not that bothered and losing them both, I couldnt possibly have hoped for anything better than what I got out of them.

Agree with you there Chris, my profits over doubled when I started doing the horse racing. Yes people say theyll get you gubbed quicker but many people say they don’t do them and get around £200-£300 a month. In the long run yes you might have your account open longer but im sure the overall profit figure wouldnt be too different.

I can see both sides. But since I’ve lost almost everything else but Will Hill I think the only way that I can continue more than another month is to stop the horses on Will Hill and switch to doing acca’s.
But is it a case that not many ppl are doing acca’s so naturally there would be less of those ppl complaining about being barred? Some kind of confirmation bias?

I havent looked in to accas yet but my understanding is that you can earn £25-50 per five/six fold with one or two bookies offering bonuses on top if you all five/six selections come in? Considering how many games you’re betting on and how long they take to settle, it seems a considerable amount of effort compared to betting on one horse every fifteen minutes especially having seen the acca spreadsheets knocking around on here. £450 in free bets over Cheltenham and £350 in free bets over Easter weekend for me, would never have got that from accas.
My gubbing email from WH specifically mentioned accas in addition to money back seconds so you’re going to get gubbed soon enough either way. Might as well take them for as much money as possible and MBS offers the best chance at that.
+0My personal opinion it’s not what I do but you sign up to a site say bet 30 get 30 free bet. You exploit the offer and you win or lose. You then have 2 options.
1) mug bet 25 quid and perhaps place 20-25 bets where you lose a quid each time by not doing any offers.
2) exploit every offer under the sun from the start.
You have to build the respect up with the bookie and then you can hit them hard. By this point the bookie can look at point 1 and this would go in your favour. Plus if there are lots of people doing point 2 they are always in the gubbing line first. If a bookie closes down the wrong account they know it does not do their image or reputation good.
These days when I’m gubbed I don’t even question it which must mean to them it’s a victory.

I was wondering how much (in money terms) the mug bets effect peoples profits. So I thought I would take a look at the profit log for MBG but all the entries are just against offers. Over the period of the profit log does anyone know how much MBG has lost on mug bets? I am just interested to get an idea of the ratio.

Sorry last post should have been MBB not MBG
