RE: £200 bonus bet risk
-
Am I missing something or would a much better way to deal with these offers be to ignore the rollover requirements and only bet with odds closest to 1 so if your bet unfortunately wins, you’re not totally fucked. Keep at this until its all in your exchange.

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.

Eh, ignore the WR?
They usually have minimum odds of at least 1.5.
You’re not “totally fucked” if you win a bet at much higher odds, providing you have enough to cover the liabilities.
+0The minimum odds are only beneficial if you plan to meet the WR and withdraw from the bookie, if the aim is to get the money into the exchange as fast as possible the risk is smaller no? This is for bets that need to be rolled over 8 times and the like.
+0The chances of getting the money to quickly flow to the exchange at such low odds is poor. Most people favour much higher odds in the same hope.
For B365 (which is the only one I’d recommend) it isn’t difficult to meet the WR and still make £150+ from it.
+0I agree the B365 one should be completed correctly. I could easily be wrong since the actual maths would be hard, if not quicker would it not be safer since the money stuck in the bookies would be increasing at a lower rate than decreasing of the lay wins
+0I don’t understand what you mean by safer. Why is it an issue to have funds build up at a bookie?
If you can’t comfortably cover the potential liabilities then you shouldn’t be doing these offers. If you don’t fully trust a particular bookie then ditto.
Back to “quicker”. Do you understand what low odds represent?
+0With your lack of understanding Shamblerzak you should stay well away from match betting.
Yours is one of the most unintelligent posts I have ever seen on here.
Sorry to be rude, but just read back through your posts and think about what you have put.+0
your method of betting on events closest to 1…well the chances of a bet losing would bey very very unlikely so you will probably win at the bookies. You will also not be contributing to the rollover at all so your bookie funds will be very slowly building up, your exchange account will be slowly emptying and you still haven’t rolled over any of the funds so your money is stuck as bonus funds. Now you are playing a risky game what will happen first, you finally pick an event close to 1 which loses or….you run out of exchange funds. Seems like a very stupid way to go about these offers…
If you aren’t comfortable going for high odds, just do your method but at the minimum odd requirement that way you will either reach the rollover requirement and be able to withdraw or lose the money to the exchange…
But as Patrick stated, if you don’t have the knowledge then don’t do rollover bonus’s…they are only risk free provided you know what you’re doing.+0Get regular offer updates, tip and tricks, big offer alerts and more straight to your inbox.
I think the first think they look at when you get gubbed soon after sign up is how you handled the sign up bonus if you put a huge amount on a high odds bet you are most likely a match better. I also think this goes for free bets better to do them at odds around 3-5 and make less but keep accounts for alot longer.
