So this page is all about how I would go about things if I were to start all over again, hopefully this should enable you to run through bookies quickly, easily, and safely.

I would suggest the best way to get started would be with the smallest free bets, the reason for this is twofold. Firstly, you are learning what to do so if you do something wrong then the damage to your float will be minimized. Secondly, doing free bets rather than match deposits means you can get your money back at anytime rather than having to go through a wager requirement.

I have abbreviated the titles below to fit it into the table:

Bookie - The name of the Bookie
Bonus - The amount of free money on offer
SR/SNR - Whether the free money is Stake Returned, or Stake Not Returned
WR - The Wager Requirement - Amount of money you have to bet before you can withdraw
ER - Expected Return from this Bookie
PF - Partner Friendly - If a Bookie is Partner Friendly then you can open an account for you other half

This is your first stop as everything is done by laying bets at Betfair. They do a customer care call on new accounts, I wouldnt mention that you are match betting to them!

Betfair is your first bookmaker and is very important as this is the biggest exchange on the net, therefore you get the best chances of making a good match here. Currently they are offering a £25 “no lose” bet, meaning if you do lose you get your cash back, up to £25. Normally I wouldnt condone this, but have a punt! Really, take a chance on this one put £25 on an event thats happening today or tomorrow, if you lose you get your money back, if you win then you have a bigger float. Truely no down side. Once this bet is settled, and your £25 is refunded if necessary, then you can crack on with the easy money free bets below.

Interesting offer here. The freebet is automatically added to your qualifier. Effectively doubling your stake. When using the matcher spreadsheet you need to remember to use the Stake Forfeit box only for the value of the bonus, not the total bet. Dont forget to take long odds to make the most out of this one.

So by this point you should have about £364 (or more if you won at betfair in your first bet) more in your accounts than you put in, hopefully its all in Betfair, but thats down to the results of the matches you bet on, either way it should all be withdraw-able!

I would now move on to the bet baskets improve the size of your bank roll, but still sticking to the free bets rather than the matched deposits. With the bet baskets you might find it best to do the first freebet quickly then return to the rest of the offer later. This will improve your bankroll the quickest, but you will have to make sure you make a note of any time limits there are as you dont want an offer to expire!

Bet basket contains 3 freebies worth £50, £25, and £25. You will need to do 21 qualifiers to get them all.

Thats an estimated £278 profit!!! This should take a little longer to do due to the nature of the bet baskets but well worth it. Total profit now should be approximately £641, or even higher if you are able to open accounts for your other half as well.

Now for a little treat, after doing the free bets you should be happy with selecting good matches. So, lets have a few more fun bets, there are a few bookies that offer the no risk bets like the original Betfair bet. However, if they give you back your stake if you lose you will need to match it to get it back safely. So you get a fun bet that if it wins you take all the winnings, if it loses you make a good match and can withdraw your stake back to your bank roll.

Fewer markets, I would get the bonus and leave personnaly! However, they do have regular bonuses to take advantage of

Thats an easy £68 and a couple of useful accounts to help you LAY at the best odds.

Now its time to try something slightly different to the freebet offers, matched deposits. The matched deposit is when a bookie matches your deposit with money of their own. It would be nice to simply withdraw straight away but they are not stupid, and will not allow you to do this! The matched deposit will come with a Wager Requirement (WR). Matched deposit offers can be really quick and easy - losing at the bookies and busting out, meaning all your money goes into betfair. Or they can take their time - win at the bookies and have to complete the Wager Requirement before cashing out. This means that your money can be tied up so make sure you have enough in your float to cover several wins at the bookies. Hence my advice to do the freebet offers first.

As long as you have a decent float try to take odds of about 6-8 and try to bust out on your first bet to save time, however be aware that every now and then the long odds will come in tying up your money until you complete the WR

Thats another £615 worth of free cash for you, add that to your running total and you should have about £1324. I would expect this to have taken about 3-4 months depending on how much float you started with and how lucky you got with losing the matched deposits. Either way, we are getting into serious money territory now.

Keep checking back here for more bonuses, this site is still expanding and there are a number of new bookies to be added
