If people want a sure fire way of being able to withdraw the 20 quid in it's entirity, theere's a way of playing blackjack that gives the best odds possible and you'll only lose a small bit of the 20 quid over the required amount of plays. Then again, there are quicker methods.

Before anyone signs up, just out of interest, read http://www.gamblersanonymous.org.uk/category/others-share-stories/2008-share-stories/

blackjack only counts at 10% of the WR, it becomes negative EV to play 2000 for a 20 bonus
EV = Bonus amount - (Wagering requirement * House Edge)
EV= 20- (2000*0.4)
(house edge on standard 8 deck blackjack is 0.4%)

The strategy (for those interested) is at https://www.wizardofodds.com/blackjack

Can you make money on the slot machines using the free £20?

i always play the free money bingo etc but this one is ringing dodgy bells with me, already talk of peoples posts being deleted and the terms don't look right. If you can't withdraw the cash (t&c saying bonus acount) then its not free cash so why is it in the newsletter? Does anyone know how long this offer has been going for? no point in jumping on the band wagon after thousands have already tried it out.

Advice for anyone who tries these free money things never stick around grab the cash and run you'll lose in the end if you don't.

I just did the deal or no deal free play and would probably use my free £20 on that. If I bet £5 each time and get a dealer offer for £7 id obviously deal. But should I be banking the £2 profit after each individual game? or wait till I've made more. but then it could dent into the £20.

I dont understand this malarkey! Can some kind soul clarify it for me, using the deal or no deal game as an example? I don't have the £20 in my account yet though.

TIA!

Im actually on holiday, but thought I should reply to some of the notes above....

We knew about this before I went, and the original note was drafted by me (though it has been changed as Ladbrokes changed its t&cs).

I have checked through all the deleted posts above (there are 4 that I can see - and none of them say anything particularly relevant - though some of the posters saying there's have been deleted don't seem to have posted, so maybe it was in a different thread?) there was one that linked to other parts of the forum.

Yet as long standing policy; that's lasted years and been opening discussed with MoneySavers and forum users; we don't include normal gambling intro loopholes in the tip as they're overly complicated and it runs into dangerous territory.

It's for the same reason that on the very rare occassions there's a 'no deposit, no money risked' it doesn't go in the gambling loopholes board.

It is a difficult balance on the forum - the gambling intro loopholes board takes time, dedication and effort to learn.

This is a quick one-off way to play with a casino's money that many people can try with no downside. While the gambling intros board is risk free done right, doing it right isn't always easy, this is risk free full stop even if you do it wrong.

The reason its here is something I have thought long and hard about, you may not agree, and that's fine, but please don't think its an accident or oversight.

I hope that answers your questions.

Thanks martin your quite right we have nothing to loose anyway

OK, so, I've just got the newsletter and thought, "Ooh, free cash, that'd come in handy!" but really, is it worth it? That's not a rhetorical question, is it actaully worth it? I mean, I'm not interested in gambling, never have been, never will be, so I don't want to get caught up in this unless there's a real chance of making some money. If Ladbrookes are going to pay out then I'll give it a go; the worst that'll happen is I'll loose their £20.00! Once it's gone I certainly will not be putting any money back in. But I'm thinking, as someone above posted, that the amount of hits their site will have had this morning alone, is going to prompt them to change their T&C's, so is it really worth the years of spamming I'm going to get just for a slim chance of getting a few quid?

Has anyone, as yet, managed to get any cash out of Ladbrookes? Other than the chap who got £140+? Would love to know! :-)

The posts I can remember from last night are

2 posts by slimshady where he pointed out the terms and conditions (point number 17, 18, 19) which *could* have closed the loophole.

and one post by jessicamb linking back to the original thread where this was discussed (moved from grabbit to GIOL where it stayed), could have been used to thank the OP.

There may be a way of increasing your chances of getting some cash out of this: Instead of playing European Roulette like Martin suggests, play blackjack and use the following Perfect Blackjack table:

http://www.casinowatchdogs.com/Blackjack-Strategy.aspx

Using this can cut the house edge to 0.43%, which is much lower than the roulette edge. You must stick to the chart at all times to maximise your chances, though, even when it's tempting to follow your instinct.

Obviously the house will still have the edge (albeit a small one), so you will eventually loose the £20, but this is the best chance of getting some cash out of this.
