So Leyton Orient snatch a last gasp equaliser to force yet another replay and keep their FA Cup dream alive. Did you know back in December they faced the mighty Droylsden in an early round where they had a player sent off in the first half and were 0-2 down in the second before a penalty and then again, that man "Tehoue" scored in the 89th minute! They don’t know when they are beaten. Of course this is why we ALWAYS lay the bets at Betfair. Even when results don’t go to plan you should always ensure that you do not lose, so our £20 lost deposit at Boylesports has resulted in a +£20ish at Betfair so no harm done. We are neutral at this stage but now Boylesports have given us a £20 freebet to use so we will make our profits now.
At Boylesports the Promotional Cash balance is now £20 and we have Arsenal playing Stoke on Wednesday night looking for a return to winning ways. At Boyles to find the market we want on the left hand bar select "Football", "England", "Premier League" then the little black "Bets" button to the right of the Arsenal game. Set the odds to decimals makes it easier to view the odds - you can do that by ticking "Decimal" at the bottom of the left hand bar where it says ‘Price format’. Half way down the new "Bets" coupon there is the "Correct Score" market, and we are going for a 3-1 Arsenal victory which Boyles have priced at 11s or ten to one in old money. Tick the box next to 3-1 and the betslip opens in the very top right, enter £20 stake and tick the option to use Promo Cash (listed as ‘Free Bets Balance’). Submit it and we will be picking up £200 at Boyles should it come in. Of course if it does not we lose nothing it was a free bet.
To make sure we profit no matter what though we will go to Betfair (you will need about £150 in there for this step). At Betfair we can get the same market by going to "Football", "English Football", "Barclays Premier League" then the fixture on the 23rd Febuary. Select the Arsenal game and the "Correct Score" market. They have 3-1 Arsenal to lay at 13s so we will put £12 of "Backers Stake" which has a £144 liability once that is submitted. Make VERY sure that A) You lay 3-1 Arsenal NOT Stoke winning 3-1 (it should be obvious from the odds which is which - the pink ‘lay’ box you are selecting will be on the 3-1 line, not the 1-3 line) and also B) The bet at Betfair is "matched". The odds may change slightly between now and kick off so adjust your stake accordingly as you see fit.
All being well a comfortable 3-1 win will mean we are at the £200+ mark and have doubled our investment. Any other result will put us on £180 from the bookmaker freebets as we go into the next week where we will try a slightly different type of strategy and freebet offer. Normally we would just leave a float in Betfair as we will need it each week but it is good to have a back up, so after this result withdraw all your bankroll from wherever has money in it as we will be setting up a new exchange account too.
As Sunday’s Leyton Orient result showed it is important to ALWAYS lay your bets. Upsets do happen, so "Why Gamble when you can Win"?
(Ed’s note, for those who missed the boat and who want to join up a little late to make, say £1000 from £200, we will be running a piece in the near future to get you on board. The principle of this system is using the free bets that bookies offer to persuade you to sign up and then playing the bookies off against each other to extract the free bets as profit. If we actually get the bets right, that only enhances the profit, and the odds are that sometimes we will. It’s a no lose system as long as you stick to it and are not tempted to start placing bets outside of our recommendations. Always remember that you should never gamble more than you can afford to, even if this system if failproof. And the bookies offer you the free bets in the hope that you will be tempted to gamble more. You can beat them by sticking to the system and walking away once we have reached £1000.)
