Week 32

Thanks Fella, I'll be back and bouncing on the chat soon! The chat around the Eurovision song contest just cracked me up, so I'll be there for sure!

Anyway back to business and a pretty nice week for me by all accounts:

Week 33: £73.36
Grand Total: £2,013

This week took me over the £2k barrier so pretty pleased all in all, and anything over £50 is a good result as far as I'm concerned. I broke the £1K barrier after 18 weeks and the £2K barrier after 15 weeks so I'm speeding up a little

I had a little bit of housework to do this week as I had a few WR's that I just had hanging around that needed completeing before I could withdraw. Bet24 and Betclic being the main ones, so I had to hunt around a lot during the week to try and empty these accounts without to much loss. I managed this for a quid or two loss. Its always worth doing a bit of housekeeping and cleaning these accounts out. I wasn't able to do many of the will hill bogofs due to a wedding, but still nibbled away at a couple. Also lost a £5 "adhoc" SNR from Will hill as it expired on today, which I thought meant I had today to use it, not that it expired yesterday at 00:01 (something to remember). First ever trebble bet on Victor gave me some new experience nd a bit of profit. I couldn't hunt around for great odds on the freebet as I was out in the evening so only nailed a small profit. I had £70 sitting in Jaxx for a while during the non-footie season (thought I saw an arb and stuck 70 notes in there) couldn' withdraw, so did a couple of small loss bets which gave me enough points to make £4 out of them. A couple of other bits not listed below mus have made it up to £73. (60p cashback for example)

Nice arb at Stan/ £2.50 (£35 stake)
Will Hill Bogof/ £5
Bet24 reload / £10 (wr remaining)
Will Hill / £10 No loss fiver
Eurosport Bet / £32
Victor Chandeler Trebble / £7
Jaxx / £4


Gonna be a slow week this week unless I do a couple of sign-ups, maybe Bwin.
Cheers!

Week 22

Right then... Week 22

A nice week, scattered with a major mistake, inline with the diary name more of that in a second. This went well:

All started very nicely indeed finished up victor chandler's last £25 free bet and made around £18. Then managed to pull out a profit on the casino chips on the game "red dog". I'm becoming quite the little casino player, even read the rules on this one. Managed to withdraw £26 from the £25 free casino bonus after meeting the WR. Was tempted to carry on as this game can see you win £8-10 very quickly. But stuck to my ways and £26 is very nice.

Then came the mistake of the week. A qualifier on with BetUK - a £50 qualifier at that... I'm not sure if it is a pro's place ot check odds but I use odds.bestbetting.com from time to time to find nice horse odds. The way in which I work often means checking 5-10 different races for matching odds, a bit laborious to be honest but often results in good odds or "micro arbs". Back on topic - I found a pretty nice match on a race in 30mins at 4.5 v 4.8 and quickly bet and layed only £25ish. (I've played the waiting game with odds on horses a few times and more or less done ok from it by not being too greedy and getting in at a couple of clicks lower.) Anyway what I didn't realise was that I'd bet on a race that was delayed! I thought I had 30mins to go, then suddenly the odds started rising very quickly, I then looked across and saw that the race was "in play" - oh sh!t, and this race was a short race, managed to lay an extra £2 before it was all over. Of course, the horse I was backing lost. Net result = minus £21. Moral of story check the actual time before you bet (sounds obvious now I know...)

I got £17 back from bet UK on the free SNR...

£2.50 from free bingo scratchcards...

Super_dash the top bloke that he is sent over a very gratefully received £12.50 for a RAF - many thanks

I also made a whole 44p from arbs - 3 bets staking £180 overall (one of the bets I forgot about commission and lost 33p) still all practice and good fun!


Week 22
Week Total: £63
Grand Total: £1,649

Next week Ascot.... Next week away with work

Week 21

Well what can I say about Week 21 except awesome!

All started out with £40 cashback which put me off to a nice start. Then something quite incredible happened at Take A Break Bingo. I had £2.90 cash and £1.35 bonus. This had been built up from playing free scratchcards. Has TAB have now changed terms that you no longer get 10p a day cash, but put it into the bonus pot I decided to try and bust out (min withdraw £10). So I played 4 50p scratchcards and won £25! I quickly withdrew all my winnings, and decided to stick all £1.35 on the bingo. Went off to make a coffee and nearly fell off my chair when I returned and my balance was £132! - Very sweet!

This prompted me to take casino bounus' a bit more seriously. I have since read-up a little on casino bonuses and decided to give it a go. I had mixed fortune but overall I have done very well over it this week. I made a few stoopid mistakes that cost me and hurt bad, and if I have one piece of advise it is read Andy's forum signature and keep this in your mind all the time. Circus and Betfair Casino, taught me this lesson. Was ticking along nicely, got bored messed around with different bet sizes and was bust within 8 minutes.

A few sports book offers still ticking over bringing in a good steady stream of mooolah. I have certainly noticed that as my float grows I can worry less about going for higher odds and (often) better returns or closer matches. I'm also happy to tie up cash for a bit longer for a better return on arbs and such like.
