    if only it were that simple. If i understood id do it. There are lots of threads about it but you still have to get your head round it good luck?

    This is at the top of the Gambling Introductory Offers Loophole board and explains it all. Don't expect to get a grasp of it with a quick read through, it will probably take a little while to get your head around.

    why do you think that ?

    have you done and exhausted all bookies ?
  • I think that because you look on the top bookies websites and they include in their terms (when offering free x bet) that the stake is not returned.
  • You can make quite a bit out of match betting but you have to be on the ball and read guides lots of times or its easy to lose a lot of money as well. This thread should be closed because all the info is on the gambling forum and it is best discussed there.

    Leedsfan - you can still do matched betting on SNR's. After the first few most have been SNR for a while. Have you done matched betting, I get the feeling either not and you just don't understand it. Have made about £3K from matched betting, mostly from SNR's, although after about that figure it becomes harder to find offers, but plenty of people have made considerably more.

    You really do need to understand it though and I have a feeling a particular poster on here doesn't!

    Agree moving this thread would be a good idea as this really is complex and needs to be fully researched before embarking on.
  • I started MBing in September, I am £600 up and I've only done 11 bookies so far. You do have to put in the effort though and if you can't work a spreadsheet or handle figures forget it and try soemthing else.

    Coral, JAXX, Unibet, Eurobet, Bet365, BWIN, Victor Chandler are a few I've done. One school of thought is to just hit them one after the other and not worry about their best offers. Other school of thought is to cherry pick to start off and wait for best offer around major racing events.

    Your best bet is just go on the Gambling loophole forum and ask. Very friendly helpful lot there.
