WR Tactics

  • Hi,

    I joined Titanbet & took £100 as 100% Deposit Bonus 3 days ago (now offer seems to have changed to up to £50) which require x7 WR means £1,400 betting all together.
    I lost the first £100 qualifying bet (gained around £94 in SMarkets) which I thought good at first because the most efficient way to maximize profit looks loosing the balance in Titanbet asap.
    Then, I tried to search for the appropriate tactics / technique in various places to do so, and the 1 thing I found workable is;
    “I like odds of around 2.5 to 3. These bets will win between 1/3 and 1/4 of the time. Lets say I split the amount I need to bet into 4 equal bets and place them at these kind of odds. I expect to win 1, maybe 2 of these bets at the bookies. 3 is possible but unlucky, 4 is now very unlikely. (The probability of winning all 4 bets whose probability is 1/4 is 1/256). So most times I have at least got most of my stake back with more money at the exchange site than I put there. Now I don’t want to meet the rollover requirements to get my money back from the bookkeeper, so I will just repeat this process aiming to extract most of the rest with small bets. Once the balance at the bookies is small I will try to win it with a single bet at slightly longer odds.
    If things go wrong what can we do? Use even smaller chunks. Divide the balance at the bookies into 10 or even 20 bets. Take them 3 or 4 at a time hoping to reduce the balance as you go. Or just put what you can into the exchange site, divide that amount by 4 or 5 or 10 if you like to work out what kind of bet you can afford to cover.”

    However, the first approach requires relatively big fund in exchange in any case (in my case the remaining WR is £1,300 because I already bet first £100 as a qualifying bet, and when I split into 4, the each bet will be £325, and if I use 3.0 I need £975+ in the exchange, which is already not small. Possible unfortunate scenario of 3 consecutive win in Titanbet, £2,925+ will be required to fund eventually in the exchange).
    Besides, when it comes to the profit, out of total WR £1,400 the free bet is only £100, therefore the rest of £1,300 matched betting may generate around 10% loss (possibly lower) of £130 that exceeds the original £100 as our profit.

    I understand that there is no guaranteed method to transfer the bookies balance to exchange via MB, are we relying on luck to deplete the fund in the bookie before eating up our profit while preparing the large fund before participating in this promotion?

    I believe I surely make big misunderstanding or miss something because I find many people say the best & worst case scenario of this type of offer is 90% & 50% respectively, so pls point it out.

    I know Underlaying is a common tactics to satisfy the WR, but is it a sure way to secure the profit? How do we project the profit or break-even study with the Underlaying in this case?

    Appreciate anyone’s input.

    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.

    Given the no response, I’ve been wondering if I posted really stupid question. Just give me some idea about what I’m mistaken.
    BTW, I realized that my total WR is £1,400 rather than £1,300 because my qualifying bet of £100 is not counted, even worse.

    Hi Georger,
    Theres no such thing as a stupid question, but I think the reason for no response is because this has been answered many times. Do a forum search for wagering or winner or Bet365. Basically the only way to get through a WR is to wager through until its met.
    That’s said there are differing opinions as to the best way, I prefer the slow slog at minimum odds. Others try to bust out with higher odds but the problem with that is if/when you win its a massive amount out of your exchange as you correctly point out.

    The idea behind underlaying is to compensate you if your bets win because you will still have more WR to get through, not to make up for poor odds matches. if you are losing 50% of the bonus its either the worst bookie in the world or you just need to wait and find better odds.

    Hi deathstar,

    Many thanks for your answer.
    OK, to secure the profit after completing £1,400 WR, the average Lay odds / Back odds (I mean ratio between lay odds & back odds, how do you call it, any technical term?) should be less than 1.057. Because this ratio namely Lay odds 10.57 & Back odds 10.00 is the break-even point creating £ -99.53 that is less than £100 free bet.
    If I’m correct, sorry for bothering with such simple calculation, or make any input.

    yes that basically right, although finding them is a different story.
    I would think there will be good odds available for the Euros and friendlies as they will be big events, and would incidentally help you blend in, or ascot is coming up if you are comfortable with horses. of course the odds on horse racing will be higher, but sometimes the favourite can be around 2.0
    Another thing to look for is price boosts/enhanced odds/specials/whatever they call them. And don’t be afraid to look at betfair, sometimes their odds are better even taking into account their higher comms.

    I remember when I first started I was amazed how poorly the odds matched up, but over time you get better at finding them, so no need to panic. Just be aware of how long the bookie gives you to rollover.

    Good luck

    Hi deathstar,

    Thanks for your confirmation and I’ll keep my eye on those big events & odds advantages.
    Yeah, 2 weeks that looks relatively short.

    Cheers
