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.

It sounds like a combi-bet, where you combine two or more selections. In the UK, we refer to these as ‘Multi’ bets or ‘Accas’ (accumulators).
I recently posted a guide for the Novibet welcome offer which you may find useful as it shows you our different options for taking advantage of such an offer…

Hope that helps!
It sounds like a Build-A-Bet type offer.
‘Man City To Win / Over 5.5 Goals / Both Teams To Score – No‘ would have been a good combination!
Stick to mainstream football and you should be fine, particularly on a weekend or during a busy midweek.
It depends on the qualifying loss it’s giving you really and whether you’re happy with that.
For qualifying bets at low odds, you should be looking for matches with no more than around 0.20 difference, like 1.50/1.55, 2.00/2.10 or 3.00/3.20 for example.
A difference of 0.40 like you’ve got there is a really good match for using free bets at high odds, like 8.00/8.40 for example.
There’s nothing wrong with throwing in a looser odds match from time to time though, just to mix things up. You don’t want to be taking the closest match every single time as it may arouse suspicion.
Yes, all very concerning @gilbs.
UK horse racing cancelled until Wednesday 13th February 2019 at the earliest, but more than likely beyond that, by the sounds of it.

Yes it seems you’re correct. It looks like Matchbook were the only exchange accepting customers from Germany until recently, unless anyone knows otherwise…?
A couple of draws tonight @tony-s. Hope you made a bit…
Hi Johnny. I would suggest you feel that way mainly because you’re just starting out. It will get better as your progress.
I’ve always found a spreadsheet sufficient. Just create yourself different sheets for different things. So, for example, you can have a page for your deposits, withdrawals and balances and then another page for dates, offers and progress. Anything you want to record or track, just create a separate sheet.
Thanks for the heads up @gilbs. Just posted on the main page…

Yes that would work @sparky.
If you select the ‘Match Winner’ and ‘Both Teams to Score’, that already assumes 3 or more goals being scored so you can’t always add ‘Over 2.5 Goals’. Some offers only require you to make two selections though.
Yes that sounds okay Johnny.
There’s no right or wrong way with mug betting. The jury is out on how effective mug betting actually is. All you can do is mix things up as much as possible and keep them guessing.
I always like to leave some funds in each account but it depends on your bankroll and whether you need to move the funds elsewhere. That should become easier as you build your bankroll up.
Hi Johnny,
The good news is you can use both Betfair and Smarkets in Ireland. It just depends on the bookmakers.
You would need to check the terms and conditions of each offer to see if Irish customers are eligible.
As far as I’m aware though, there is money to be made over there.
In terms of the two offers you’ve mentioned…
I always prefer to keep offers separate in order to keep things simple. This is especially important when you’re just starting out too as it’s easy to become confused.
That being said, I hope it worked out for you.
