Rollover Req Question

  • Hi all,

    Firstly thanks to Matt for the blog, very interesting and informative, and profitable 🙂

    So I’ve done a few of the smaller bookie offers, skybet, betfred, coral etc.. However, I’m about to move onto some of the bigger bets, which I see have some fairly confusing rollover requirements. Having read some of the other blog posts, I see these have caught a few people out and I’m keen not to make the same mistakes!

    Does anyone know the following:

    If you Qualifying bet wins with say, Netbet, or Bet365, can you still withdraw your winnings after the free bet (so long as the free bet loses) Or are you locked in either way (if your qual bet wins or loses) to the rollover reqs? Basically can my qual bet win, then my free bet lose and I can withdraw my qual bet winnings? I hope that makes sense!!

    I’d like to place my qual bet at low odds, due to less of a qual loss, however…

    I am thinking of placing my Qual bet at higher odds, although I’ll lose a bit more on the qual bet, I want to keep it simple and lose at the bookie for both bets, qual and free bet, money into my smarkets account, job done!

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Sam.

    I think bet365 let you off the rollover and I’m not sure about netbet, but you really shouldn’t rely on losing, that’s pretty much guaranteeing a win! If you are short on the cash needed to complete the rollovers you really shouldn’t attempt them. just keep plodding on with the ongoing offers at the bookies you have until you built your float up. its frustrating having to wait but its better than losing it all. it also gives you the chance to hone your skills.

    have a look at this guide

    Hi Deathstar,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Interesting strategy, I had assumed it was more preferable to go higher on the qual bet, to give myself a better chance of not having to complete the rollover req’s. £200 at 3/1 is still £600 in my 365 I’d need to bet out and betting out £600 is going to cost me right? Whereas £200 at 10/1 (with a big favourite on the horses running at 1.6 or so) would be £2000 liability, or 2 x £100 bets of similar would be less likely to happen.

    I suppose if I bet £200 at evens then I’d have £200 in 365, which would mean I’d have to wager the rollover req’s, but I also read in your link that if the next bet loses, the offer/terms are done. Trouble is if they all win, if I place 6 x £200 bets at evens and they all come in, I’ve had to bet out £1200 anyway and lost £’s each of the 6 times I bet.

    Sorry if this sounds stupid, I’m just trying to work out what’s best to not have to do the rollovers, as I don’t like the idea of them!!

    Thanks

    Sam

    PS. Also isn’t it better to bet on higher odds for the free bet to maximise profits, so why not place both the qual bet and the free bet at higher odds?

    OR

    Do you suggest the qual bet at lower odds and the free bet at higher odds?

    OR

    The qual bet at lower odds and the free bet at lower odds?

    Be interesting to get your thoughts.

    Cheers

    Sam

    you need to bet with high odds for free bets where its stake not returned, have a read of Matts strategy guide on the menu bar above. or go here https://matchedbettingblog.com/free-bet-strategy/
    when you do a rollover you keep the stake so you don’t need the high odds to make a profit. you can of course use any odds you like for a good match, and these can be found on the horses, but again if you win at high odds your bookie will fill up and the exchange will go down. so depending how much money you have, it could all end up in the bookie with no money to cover any subsequent bets.
    also don’t assume anything with horses. a quick glance at todays winners at Wolverhampton shows they were 3/1, 13/2, 50/1, 10/1, 11/4 and 14/1 and not a single favourite won. imagine the problems the 50/1 shot would cause!
    There is no way to guarantee winning or losing, if there was we could just bet on the winner every time and be rolling in it.
