    Hi Aidan. He needed to start the match to trigger the £5 cash.

    The promotion was available until 16:30 (kick-off), so you can wait until the teams are announced. I’ll add a note to future offers.

    Yes, Neil. Virgin Bet usually run this offer on two races each day, and you can qualify for both.

    Hi Kevin,

    2UPs, along with extra places, are one of the go-to offers for furthering your matched betting profits beyond the regular reload offers.

    It can be a patient game, so try to stick with it. Naturally, if your team goes two goals up, the odds will drop pretty low, particularly if they were the favourite to win the match or it’s pretty late in the game. You could try looking for opportunities where the odds are a bit longer.

    The most profitable approach is not locking in after your team goes two goals up and waiting for a full turnaround. In that instance, you win both your back and lay bets. You’ll make small losses most of the time, but when you hit a full turnaround, the profits can be huge.

    I hope that helps.

    As long as you’re comfortable with that, Franci, there’s nothing wrong with that approach.

    No, I haven’t seen that one. I would be inclined to place the Bet Builder as you have done and leave it at that. You may well qualify for both.

    A bookmaker is within their rights to void a bet if there’s good reason to, so I would push them for a reason, Patrick. If they don’t offer any information, and you’re out of pocket, you could tell them you’re willing to take legal action. That often has the desired effect.

    That’s a bit naughty of them if that’s the case. As you say, it clearly says any sport in the terms.

    I tend to go with my gut feeling and don’t seem to do too badly. I should stress, though, I know absolutely nothing about NFL!

    Hi David.

    It’s the same process as a regular free bet, but we drop the percentage from 80% to 75% to account for it being trickier to find close odds in play.

    Wait for a break in play, or you could wait until half-time. Chelsea are the underdogs, so you might be able to get decent odds on them in the ‘Match Result’ market.

    I hope that helps.

    Hi David. It’s best to wait until a change of ends (90 seconds) or, better still, the end of a set (2 minutes).

    Hi Donna,

    You can also find these special boosts by Googling ‘betfair prc’.

    To put your mind at ease, all links on my site are masked, so the sites you’re being directed to don’t know where you’ve come from.

    I hope that helps.
