TIP 3 - Don't miss any offers!
Missed offers = missed profits. Here's how to avoid missing the best offers:
1) Check your emails and texts regularly throughout the day:
Watch out for private or invite-only offers from the bookies coming directly to you. They can sometimes send them last minute so try keep an eye for these throughout the day.
If you receive a private email offer and you're not sure if it's worthwhile doing or not - the best place to ask is in the forum on the topic "Sports - Is this offer worth doing?".
Don't forget to let other members know about the offer - just in case they've received it too. You can do this in the forum in the "Offers posted by members section".
2) Follow the OffersTeamPA on the Forum:
This is absolutely essential for making top profits from reloads in general every single day!
How do you do this?
Open the forum then go to ‘OffersTeamPA’ here
Then click the green plus sign to follow the team and you’ll see every offer that they post in the forum and get a notification pop up each time they do.
3) 'Watch' the following Forum threads:
Another standard essential you should be doing anyway!
The topics we recommend to watch for great profits over Glorious Goodwood include:
How do you watch a topic?
By selecting the ‘Not Watching’ button on the topic and switching it to ‘Watching’
You will then get notifications pop up every time there is a new post in that topic.
Here’s an example of notifications coming from the Price Boost topic:
TIP 4 - Use Shared Liability
Remember to take advantage of Shared Liability anytime you can. Using this as much as possible will allow you to get more offers done and make more profits.
Beginners' Strategy Guide to Matched Betting York Ebor 2021
There are loads of profits to be made over this festival but if you’re quite new to Matched Betting it can be easy to get overwhelmed with what to do first. As always, we’re here to help you! Here's a useful strategy guide for how you could choose to approach your day.
- Do any and all "Guaranteed" Profit Offers. Any easy Bet & Get offers, risk-free bets (refund if your horse loses) and direct free bets. You don't want to tie up liability (exchange balance) doing Potential Profit offers first then realize you don't have enough to do a "Guaranteed" Profit Offer.
- Keep an eye on Price Boosts. Throughout the day there will be numerous Price Boosts (enhanced odds) offers available which we can make a quick guaranteed profit from with very little effort.
- Hit the Horse Racing Refunds (a.k.a. ITV Horse Racing) that have the best chance of happening. On each day there will be a full list of these offers available on the reloads offer main list and on the forum under Sports Reloads Offers > Horse Racing. The top part of the list includes offers that give you a better chance of making a profit on. Complete these first before doing anything else.
- If you've never done Extra Place Offers before - tackle any remaining Horse Racing Refunds. If you still have liability left over in your betting exchanges after completing all the 3 steps above, then you could consider also doing some of the refund offers that have a lower chance of occurring. (E.g. £10 free bet if your horse finishes 2nd to the Starting Price (SP) favourite).
- If you've been practicing or already doing Extra Place Offers - hit these first before the lower value Horse Racing Refunds (4 above). If you still have some liability left over in your betting exchanges then now is the time to get on the Extra Place Offers.
