I would say whichever yields the smallest loss. The higher the odds the more likely you are to lose your money into the exchange rather than the bookies though so I guess it's up to you, just remember that the higher the odds the greater the liability so you'll need a bigger balance at the exchange.

Had another question guys...
So the odds are supposed to be close between the two teams playing (so you don't lose much which ever way it goes?), but one team 'always' has a slight advantage.
Let's say Man Utd vs Spurs. Let's say Spurs get a few players injured the week before and the match is at Old Trafford, so the advantage is in Man Utd's favour.

Should the team with the advantage always be bet on when you're at william hill/ladbrookes etc, then the lay bet for Man Utd not to win?

I guess what I'm asking is how do you know which team to bet on at the bookmakers (not the lay bet).

You should be looking at the exchange and the bookies at the same time and the best bet to make is the one that is the closest together regardless of them being favourite, this minimises your lose on the qualifying bet.

I honestly can't recommend the bonus bagging site from Marc enough. I paid £1 pound for a 2 week trial and made well over the 100 pounds in order to cover the year long subscription. Even today someone posted a code for a casino site which won me 20 quid for doing 3 minutes of spins on a slot machine. As per my posts above, I'm closing in on the 2k mark with very little risk involved.

The training videos on the site are very clear and concise!

Thanks guys. I'm gonna have a proper look on the websites at home to avoid interruptions.
I was a little concerned where I should earn the money, like if I should be winning on the bookies or the lay bets. It does not seem like this matters?

It makes it easier if you lose into the exchanges but it's not the end of the world if you don't, particularly if it's a bookies you intend to use a lot.

Thanks again guys. I watched a few bonus bagging videos and it seems nice and straight forward. I think this is the last question before I get started.

The videos show people joining a site like bwin and deposit (for example) £10, then pick the match (Man Utd to beat Spurs). You then lay bet Man Utd not to win.
One of the above happens and you break even, or potentially lose £1 or so.
You then get your free bet from bwin.

What the hell happens from here? People in the videos keep saying "oh you just do it all again"...but if I am constantly breaking even, where do I make the profit?

I feel like I'm missing a really obvious part/step here :(

Edit:- It sounds like the 'followup bet' it what I'm referring to.

Once you have the free bet, you place it at higher odds (generally over 5 to start with as you are building your bank up) For a £10 pound free bet, you're probably going to come away with about 7 pounds after the bet is placed and your deductions have been considered. WHat you have to remember is you have been given a free bet, so whether it wins or loses the winnings are going to end up on one of your accounts :)

Then you run through the rest of the sign up offers, and build up your bank. You'll also find plenty of other risk free/low risk offers to take action on.

Once you get your head around it there's loads of other options that I haven't even looked at yet!

Ahh ok so the second part makes sense now :) When you say the rest of the sign up offers, do you mean the ones other companies have?
Also what happens if I am left with money in the original betting companies website. Do I just withdraw this and use it for the next company yeah?

Dont forget, for your free bet, you use "Freebet Stake Not Returned" in the calculator.

Yes, Bahumat, you just withdraw it. However, just to complicate things, some lesser known bookies make you roll over your free bet a few times if you dont lose it into the exchange but worry about that at a later time. Also, make sure you have the required documents for KYC, such as driving licence, passport, proof of address etc. I ALWAYS get verified at a bookie before I place my bets. Just personal preference.

Accumalator Generator is where its at, although im convinced it will get you banned. Ive made so much money from it but ive stopped using it now and just doing Advantage Play accas myself without using the software to find matches.

His EWS software is also an absolute goldmine, but you need to be at your PC all day which isnt feasible for me.

Stay away from Bookie Blowout as it will get you banned from bookies so quickly but can be good for accounts you are banned from.

If you havent already got into it, horse racing extra places is a nice profit maker on a saturday and of course my personal favourite is now Sharbing but my local bookies are getting wise to me so sometimes I struggle to get £1k-£2k on in shops on football. I just send my mates in now

I've got 100 on England and another 100 to go on the wales match in the morning, I've got myself 4 laddies accounts. Even more of a bonus, I've talked to friends into allowing me to assist them with free cash :) So I should be good moving forward! Would be great for one of them to hit a draw and get off to a good start :)

Do you mean friends you can set up online accounts for? If so, don't forget to use a different device for each of them with a different IP addy. I use a different phone for one and a mifi unit for another from the same PC so I always check for iesnare on my PC daily. No idea how it's even legal but I still check everyday

I hope you lost the netbet sign up into the exchange as the roll over is a pain, especially at their odds. Don't forget, the netbet free bet is done as free bet stake returned, not snr

Yeah I backed Russia ;) and got a decent match on the Ukraine to beat Germany so 44 quid for nowt, provided Ukraine don't win :p

When you get a second mate would you mind sending me a message on FB or here explaining how you deal with the free ladbrokes bets.

It's supposed to be one free bet per customer but I've never had a problem collecting them. I just do one a day. Go in, hand them a losing slip and they will give you a free bet token/slip. Check the slip as it tells you what you can use it. Horse racing should be ok. Then just check the horse racing odds in shop to smarkets on your phone to find a close match. Don't forget though, odds in shop are fractional so add 1.0 when comparing. Write your bet down and place it over the counter and then lay off on smarkets. I do it outside the shop. Also, I place my free bet between 12-1 as you get BOG during that time at Laddies shops so if it drifts and wins, happy days, make more from your freebet

Within a day of claiming yes mate, but, if you use one of the euro match coupons, like Germany v Ukraine like I did, check your bet slip and there is a code to use at the terminals for a £2 free bet. You also get this £2 free bet every time you put your qualifying bet on

yeah I noticed when I placed the bets I have a free 2 quid. The slips I picked up at the weekend have horrendous odds now for the WDW market. Do they update these weekly, or will they change to reflect the first round of games? Just wondering whether to start looking at the correct score market instead for qualifying. Can't find anything close for the RoI match against Sweden tomorrow.

Laddies in shop odds are crap on football but you sometimes do find a decent match

About £100 QL on that, but I took that loss all day long as I was convinced it had a draw written all over it. Got lucky I guess

However, england are currently 1.61/1.61 so just done £2k for a QL of £15 :D Ive got betting slips everywhere! At those odds I should really put more on but its getting like a full time job now
