Prose from a Poshboy

[edgascoigne]

Don't waste any of the new signup free bet offers either. Basically they let you have a bet if it loses free bet matched to the stake. However, free bet doesn't return stake, but its a nice excuse to have £50 on a larger odds gamble than normal.

You can use websites like Quidco for a cashback deal tho and this covered the balance.

Basic promo abuse protocol is...

£50 on something at Evs, lay £50 of same team at 2.04 on Betfair. So you're down a couple of quid whatever happens.

£50 free bet (winnings only, stake not returned) on something at c5/1, anything at all, just something where the lay price on Betfair is 'tight' to said price and there is liquidity. Lay £41 of said selection at 6.2 --> This guarantees you c£40

Meaning opening the account has been worth £40-£2....

Also, just lay Liverpool.

You had better explain to Alex what a lay is. A betting lay, I mean.

Sorry. Thanks, all.

Alex, you can explain to me how to rangemerge a blocker-bet for value in 50nl hand histories.

(Please don't!)

only John Black could do that

Got all that, Alex?

Sign up to quidco. Then sign up to paddy power through the quidco website. Then bet £10 on the sports book. Quidco will give you £20 cash back.

New customers only etc etc.

You should ask Matt Russell about working though his Bonus on, I think, Bet365. Story in itself.

One of my favourite threads ever.

There is not a link as such Alex, as it ran for weeks & weeks on TfT I seem to recall.

He had £600 or something, & they would not allow him to withdraw it, they said he had to "bet it through". He tried, but they kept restricting him to £2.50 or whatever, & he could not ever reach the money.

Think he lost the lot in the end, which was the expected outcome anyway, he's a bit of an ice-cream.

Sigh...

Another great diary falls victim.

It was well before TfT.  There should be a thread somewhere...

Oh your diary was great once, back in the days when I used to contribute a lot.

If you intend to go ahead with this, I strongly advise you set some time aside & try & work through all the strategy stuff by Camel, redarmi, bobby1, BadBeat (Neil Channing), Doobsy, & several others. (Apologies to those I have not included). There is stacks of it, & it will take a while, but no pain no gain & all that.

Dubai sounds like a nutcase most of the time, but he really does understand punting fundamentals to a degree few can emuulate.

Its a bit like poker. If you want to do well, you'll have to put a lot of work in. You just will.

i like the anonymity of having user names on here so the shrewdy betting guys can keep the book makers guessing. I like how you outted Neil Channing tho. That guys a wrong un.
