Free Bets Review

So you read my article here before and were wondering how the strategy panned out.

I have posted the totals at the head of the below table, and continue scrolling for all the details. In 1 month I made a 100 total profit. Its not going to be enough to become a professional gambler, but I think most casual gamblers would be happy enough with that.

In total I staked €460 (23 bets @ 20 each), on the real bets I came out at a loss of 32.54 which is 7% of the total staked. From The Happy Medium article we can see that on average betting on even money favourites I would expect to lose about 4% of my stake. So I lost a little more than expected but not too much more.

This earned me €230 in free bets and I won €137.50 back. This is free money. This is roughly as expected. Most of our bets were at odds of on average about 5/2. The chart here indicates that we would expect to win back about 60c for every 1 at those odds in free bets. In this experiment I won back 59c per 1 staked so that's about right.

It's nice to see that my numbers roughly match the return that I theorised in the other articles.
