Cool. Is it north or south Wales you're going to?

OK, can't access betting sites at work...not really a surprise I suppose seeing as FB is banned too!

I'll have to have a look tonight, was hoping to do a practice run and see if I get it! I think there is a football match happening, I'm sure someone at work was talking about it.

And have found out that my £50 of vouchers that I won at work are for Waterstones!!! :jI'm gonna check out the website now!

Yep football matches happen with tedious regularity, and there are quite a few tonight. I'll be online tonight as I'm working, so post your figures (matched betting ones ) and any questions here if you want them checked/answered.

Right, I'm gonna do this now...stay posted for exciting figures..

OK, here goes:
Sunderland v Chelsea
Chelsea to win at Coral 1.534
Chelsea to win at Betfair 1.64

For a £10 stake would have both lay and back profit of £9.11 so would lose 89p and would qualify for a further £10 free bet

So if I had the same again with my free bet, I would make £9.11 so my overall profit is £9.11 minus 89p = £8.78

I shall see if I can find something better....

I get £9.17 return - are you able to copy and paste the whole thing please?

I worked it out as £9.17 too (or the thing I downloaded did anyway:j). Do the free bets aways give you your stake back as well though?

Do you always have to use bets that are 1. something, 1.29, 1.31 etc or can you use any numbers that are close to each other?

No but you can still make money from them. The Stake Returned free bets are easier though so it's best to do those first.

You can use any, the closer the better. If the odds at Betfair are slightly lower than at the bookie, that's even better still.

You don't want to use high odds normally though as the higher the odds, the more money you need to have in Betfair (the Lay Risk box of the spreadsheet shows how much your Betfair balance has to be to place the lay).

You can try some pretend odds in the spreadsheet to see how the return and lay risk vary with different odds.

I know, my spreadsheet seems a bit out - I didn't save it, so I'll try again and see.

I tried the examples in the info post and it was a bit out but not lots and I couldn't see where my error was !

There is a TV show on BBC1 right now which is a fly on the wall about my job! Very interesting!!
