For reasons I won't bore you with I haven't been able to try out the arbitrage software yet, but I have managed to net a no-risk £159 from a bonus offer. Not bad at all for opening an account, depositing and placing four bets and four lays. Thanks to Mike for that one!

.....nor did my Festive Fun with Bet365 stop there. They did an offer for the Chelsea v. Man City match last night, refunding any losing in-play bet, which gave me a low effort/time-input/risk £26.

Stupid question FC - I'm doing the recent arb bet and keep getting negative numbers. Do you?

Which bet z? The list of arbs changes very quickly, sometimes there are ones showing a potential positive return, sometimes none. Might be worth e-mailing Mike with the particular one you're talking about, along with a screenshot, which I suspect you could do, unlike me!

Whoa whoa whoa FC. Before I talk about the arb - all you need to do a screenshot (in Windows!) is press the PrtSc button (or the Alt-PrtSc combination to just get one window), then paste it into an email or Paint.

That done, I've figured it out now. The AC bet one. Arbing is hard.

Never got round to the Arb's - more time commitment to working for money has got in the way - and I must be down to the last couple of bookie sign-up offers, though Mike helpfully sends me reminders to make sure I take up all these offers.

But, apart from netting £150 from the Bet365 sign-up offer with Mike's guidance before Christmas, I have managed a few goes at quick risk-free offers from existing bookmakers accounts; £12.50 from a free fiver at Boylesports, £26 from a Bet365 in-play bet offer, £6 from a Bolylesports promo and £15 today from a Victor Chandler offer.

Have tried and failed at the ARB.
Also tried the Casino, too time intensive for the gain (for me, if might be great for others), but back to the original ideal.
I initially used up all the supported bookies (£1500+ up in the end), but every month fresh/new bookies are added to the site.
The last two were both for 2 x £100, I ended up about £150 up for circa. 1 hours work.
I can only repeat, this is in my eyes free money, no risk.
Just concentrate on placing the bookies bets as some of the sites are not what I would call intruative in terms of finding the bet.
All in all, 9 months on, best money I have spent in a long time.

Just started this today. Have placed my initial qualifying and free bets. Mike has been very helpful with quick repsonses to any of my questions. I had to deposit more money than I originally thought, and my head is still in a bit of a spin trying to figure out where I will make the money. Will check balances at Betfair and Coral tomorrow to see if all went to plan. Assuming it will (feedback on this thread seems very positive) I will try and ramp it up over the next few weeks.

Has anyone tried the new Matt Houghton football betting strategy recommended by Mike a few days ago? If so any opinions on if it is worth trying out?

Sorry - We don't do "betting strategies" - Perhaps other members can provide some input.

Even ...

If we had two volunteers (testers) for example, we could consider a new thread for "betting strategies" which we will happily conduct reviews for and police, based on us having a reliable test team !!!
