Read my blog for the tips that bookies do NOT want you to know. The proof is that they continue to restrict my accounts for using the strategies I share here. Betfair have ordered a restriction on my account. So they join the growing list: William Hill Ladbrokes Sky bet Paddy Power Betway Betfred 888sport The list now also includes Coral and 188bet (who still allow me bonuses but is basically unusable thanks to stake restrictions on horses). In betfair's case I received this email - ironically just a couple of hours receiving a separate email inviting me to take part in different promos. With betfair their promotions had been decent but not great. The horse offer was frustrating. Basically you place a bet at 3/1 odds or higher and if he wins then you get a free bet to the same value of your original stake. I stayed clear of this one as 3/1 price had to be the SP. After backing a couple of horses, and and then watching their SP drop to under 3/1 and so missing out...

In the battle of wits between a simple punter (me) and a global multi million pound bookmaking giant (William Hill) - the giant wins but only in the most cowardly way. William Hill offer promotions such as this one on the horses . If your horse comes in second they offer you a free bet. By carefully picking the right horses you can turn the odds in your favour and actually reverse the bookie edge in your favour.  I funded my account in December 2015 with €200 and by April 2016 have withdrawals totalling €3,870. In order to beat me, the bookie could have got sharper with their odds - after all they do have databases of statistics and employs hundreds of risk analysts, traders, mathematicians and sports exports. But no - the cowardly way that they chose to beat me was to take their ball and go home. I can't play any more. My stakes have been limited and I am no longer allowed receive offers and promotions. My secret is simple and relied on taking advantage of generous free...

This is the Ladbrokes death! Read my blog for the tips that the bookie's really  don't  want you to know. Sky bet have already barred me along with  Paddy Power ,  Betway ,  Betfred  and  888sport . And now Ladbrokes joins the list. My stakes have been limited to 1% of the market maximum which means that I only can get £7 or £8 on most horses which makes the free bets almost impossible to use efficiently.  Ladbrokes is one of the many bookie's that offer Money back 2nd on the horses. For Ladbrokes it is the Channel 4 weekend races and the Cheltenham races. Those races were my main source of profit on Ladbrokes. So I had joined on 29th Jan and parted ways on 15th Mar. They let me win only just short of £100 in the month and a half. With Ladbrokes I opened my account in GBP because a £25 free bet is worth more than a €25 free bet. I think it worked out quite well and I have opened up all new accounts in GBP since. I have still got B...

Read my blog for the tips that the bookie's really don't  want you to know. Sky bet have followed Paddy Power , Betway , Betfred and 888sport and banned me from receiving any more free bets. Sky were very unhelpful in the way I that I found out. No email, not any kind of indication at all. I had to contact live chat to discover the fate of my account and to understand why I had not got a free bet. The best way to check if that you have suffered the same fate is to check the status of your Sky Bet club and click on More Info.  This is what I see now: I can't complain too much really. I profited over €840 (see full record of deposits and withdrawals below) and it added some excitement to my sports watching. My strategy was to play all of their free bet promotions - betting on short odds favourites for the qualifying bets and betting on longer shots for their free bets (like horses at 9/2 or football at 7/1 - read here  for info on the va...

Paddy Power had already partially restricted my account (read here ) but now comes the full restriction. So the good times lasted from from the 29th of April 2015 up until the 19th Feb 2016. Withdrawals totalled €3,209.93 on an initial deposit of €20 and a €100 top up. It financed a trip to Canada for me, a brand new sofa for the family and helped out with a lot of bills and also spending money for the holidays. Read through my blog for tips and advice on getting the most from your bookie too - it is possible to make this without much knowledge of betting or sports. It just takes a few tricks to use the bookie's free bet offers and promotions to turn it in your favour. Reading forums and message boards there seems to have been a big cull of winning accounts. The logical reason is that Cheltenham is coming up and Paddy Power are probably planning some very good promotions for then and don't want to be fleeced by their regular winners - so as I said, read thro...

My online bookie accounts have been restricted on 888sport (read here ), betway ( here ) and Paddy Power ( here ). So I was looking for a new site to make some money off. Betfred looked like some nice offers so I funded my Betfred account with €50. And two days later I was barred by them too! In total I had made €12 profit, I was barred over a €12 profit. Not only was I barred though. The promotions that I was playing to make a profit were taken down. The Promotions Below are the two promotions that I used on Betfred before they barred me. This is my favourite promotion. The Money Back 2nd . Here you bet on a horse at 3/1 or shorter - I have analysed the past results and these horses are likely to either win or win a free bet.  Put your free bet on something like 9/2 - this will maximise your profit from the free bets. The second Betfred promotion that I liked was the Bet 3 Get 1 Free Bet on the tennis. This is very similar to the Betway promotions that ...
