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.

Out of interest what are people using to place the majority of bets? Desktop or Mobile? Wifi or 4G? and how often, if at all do you clear your cookies?
+0Paddy kicked me into touch too. And I think also Matt’s figure are are what you could potentially be wining if you had all your accounts open and never be ever gubbed. Which is almost impossible I would say. But I love the blog.

Ditto even though I’ve been playing the poker site constantly. They must be looking for those that gamble solely on these markets. I tried some mug punting but not enough. I think a problem has been that a lot of these offers have been winning.
I’m not convinced it’s the Betfair merger. I’ve layed free bets from Betfair themselves on their exchange so I don’t think it’s that.
Just studying betting patterns it would be easy to spot players like us. I play poker constantly but my mug bets could be counted on one hand in a year. In the last 3 months I’ve taken every Paddy offer going. If my wife was to do this offer then I think she’d take up far less.
One anecdote from Wednesday. I’m trying to turn zero into £1,000 on the poker site and I’m blogging about it (I won’t share the link as it has affiliates that conflict with Matt) but I won a free £5 bet thanks to a poker promotion. Instead of matched betting, I mug punted on a 4/6 shot because my audience would understand that – it lost 🙁 Even mug punting an odds on shot didn’t save me.
+0Hi my friends.
Got the email today!
First ban i have ever got and it sucks! Because Paddypower was a sweet source of money.
Sad days

Not received an email (yet) but not placed a pre-match bet either. Judging by this I should leave this offer, right?

Completely up-to you @denizlikarakoy but I’m personally leaving it.
I use to never leave an offer, having a ‘strike whilst the iron is hot’ approach, but it appears we’ve got very lucky considering the mass-restriction that PP have taken..
Frustrating as PP and Coral both have £10 free bets for tomorrow but I’ve seen far too many people on here and other sites being restricted that I’m going to leave both this weekend. Try and stay under their radar and think of the long-term game….even though I doubt it will do us any good.

Got the email today too, first ever gubbing,well I guess I made hay while the sun shined as it were, I nearly always “lost” to the exchange as well.

OK – probably for the best, as I just mug bet with PP at odds of 10 and sure enough the blooming thing won on PP!
+0What may have killed it for me was probably when Paddy emailed me a exclusive “Bet £20,get £20 free” new years type deal, I did it last week and both bets lost with them (I made about £17 with the exchange), when I did “win” at Paddy I used to keep the money in and eventually the money would go back into the exchange,Paddy did well out of me.
Obviously winning at the Exchange and making them money is not enough,so I don’t know what is :(,still I approach matched betting as a “gravy train,make money while the sun shines type thing”,I know its not going to last forever.
+0Don’t worry, this isn’t a gubbing, PP have basically retired this offer. Every man and his dog will be getting this email
+0That is just not true..
+0Why do you think that? I know lots of people who have had this email, many are not match betters and have never done that offer.

Same here, banned from that promo. Not too gutted due to the fact this is one single promo which was a minor earner. Indeed during December I made nada from PP but still earned a record monthly amount.
I am however slightly dubious about this site and wish I had not added an email contact to it. There’s a lot of coincidence with these exclusions and I feel it’s been infiltrated.
+0Wow can’t believe so many of us on here have got this email. Being as though it’s such a small sample size and so many of us got it I think it must be something so simple as Paddy asked who did 90% of the offers in November? Let’s restrict them all from doing it again!
Has anyone who has had the email NOT done pretty much every football offer in November?
