My strategy doesn't consist of some sophisticated betting system;
I
simply take advantage of the aggressive
marketing strategy used by
many bookmakers and betting exchanges called
FREE BETS.
I'll describe it using
Bet365 as an example:
Bet365 has regular special promotions that
double the
deposited amount
for sports fans: "100% bonus for you first deposit – up to £100" or "100% bonus – up to £50".
Bet365 in particular also offers such promotions to its existing customers on a
regular basis!
(Almost all bookmakers frequently offer such promotions – check the
bonus offers page
for current information).
A hobby bettor who knows sports should take full advantage of this bonus -
in the first case by
depositing EXACTLY £100. Still using
Bet365 as an example, their
regulations specify that the
bonus has to be turned over at least 6x before the resulting
winnings can be paid out.
Therefore the
trick is to simply achieve this minimum turnover
through 'relatively safe'
bets with
low risk and in
small amounts (not over £5); the only goal is to maintain the
total capital as far as possible. Once you earn the right to a payout, you will have made
a respectable
profit of £100.
As I mentioned before, such
promotions, betting bonuses, free bets are offered
by nearly all bookmakers –
some even repeatedly – so that a "full-coverage" network of betting accounts
can add up to a tidy sum.
While it may be true that this is not as lucrative as, say, turning £10 into a full £1000 within a
month by employing a sophisticated strategy, it is
much safer – and also
entirely legal.
Just consider it payback for the annoying continuous marketing strategy used by the bookmakers
(and to some extent for the sometimes low odds).
By the way: In cases where a bookmaker only grants a small bonus – say £5 – it's not unreasonable
to take a risk for a change. In such cases, I like to use one of the
other
betting strategies posted here!
Have fun, and fight the establishment!
