    on betfair on the profit and lose sheet will the profit be including the money i bet or not? If i bet £18 and the profit was £38 is that £38 profit of £38 counting the £18 i bet? Sorry that doesn't make much sense

    ah hang on the £38 is profit as i had to put more money in so i had £40 to place the bet! £40 each way. £40 cash in betfair and £20 in bwin plus £20 free money! won with betfair so i have 79.70 in betfair. £40 i had in there for the bet. £1.70 was in the account with betfair so the £38.00 is my winning and profit. take away the £20 real money i bet makes me £18 profit? Does that look right?

  • Jen tbh I'm not sure how you're doing it, it seems like you're doing both of the bets at once? Rather than doing the qualifying bet first and then the free bet second. But if the figures in your last post are right then it seems you profited anyway! :)

    yes on this account with bwin i could bu usually i have to do a bet with my money then a bet with the free money! bwin were a special offer and popular because you cna bet the whole lot so it was quick and easy!
