    @Cheery_Daff - I only joined up for a £5 SNR bet, figured I'd do the casino offer as potential loss of maybe a fiver with 100 free spins to come :D

    Also won £140 on two other casinos yesterday (only playing small stakes, no more than £10 wagering/potential loss and walking away as soon as introductory offers done) 

    On the negative side, I think I have completed every decent casino offer in the UK now 😉

    😂😂 I reckon you have 😂😂 I've been doing it on and off for a couple of years now, biggest win has been about £125 i think, and I've only ever got over £100 about 3 times 😂 Currently about £1400 behind EV so I reckon I'm well overdue a £600 win!!

    Taking advantage of betting shop offers for guaranteed profit. Fairly straightforward, but NOT for the disorganised or anyone remotely tempted to gamble. A combination of admin and maths (and a million adverts). I've been doing it a couple of years off and on, made £5300 so far 😮 There used to be a forum area on here but it was quite difficult to understand, that's why I avoided it for so long. Here's a more simple explanation:

    Thanks, @Cheery_Daff for the link, match betting is something I keep meaning to look into. Both maths and admin are in my skillset, so that is promising.

    @Suffolk_lass - suspect you'd be great at MB - it's largely being accurate and double checking things. I've made low ££,£££ from it 😀

    I'm currently paying for a service (rhymes with sods flunkey) because it has a specific tool I use. It costs £20/mth and has a lot of guides for bookies and casinos. I don't "recommend" it as I made my bones a long time ago and know what I'm doing, but it would probably help a newbie. There are other similar services, sure they're all much of a muchness and only mildly parasitical.

    Made another £29 off the free spins from the £600+ bookie from yesterday, with £25 of free bets to come!

    Ooh, you've made well more than me! I too pay for sods flunkey 😁😂 but as a newbie I'd definitely start with the link I posted - it's free, they have walk through videos telling you exactly what to press. Definitely requires paying attention at the start (well, always) but worth doing. Definitely worth setting up separate bank account and email address for it though!

    @Cheery_Daff - I ripped the proverbial out of it when I started 8-9 years ago, got gubbed by a ton of bookies and am just starting back after a multi year break. Still got a few good accounts for horse related things, which is where the bulk of my (small by the old standards) winnings come from
