WBX - Exchange - £25 Free Bet

[InFeRnO]

Apparently you have to win or lose a total of £100 to qualify for the £25 free bet. The free bet they give you will be a 'back' bet only.

I did say....

So you did!

This one's doing my head in, whats the best way to do this, because every bet i find i would lose over £10 to qualify i have already lost £2.20 by depositing with moneybookers.
Do you still pay commision on winnings if you use the sportsbook, instead of the exchange.
Iv'e done this offer twice before, but i can't remember what i did, and i think i cocked it up
Iv'e been looking all afternoon, and i can'tfind any close prices to betfair, it's a bloody nightmare!

[jethro]

Come on guys ! , whats the best way for this one ?

I'm pretty sure I used the horses with this type of offer (as i do with most!). Theres usually a decent arb to be found if you look hard enough.

have a goosey at the prices within about 20 mins before the offs.

still can't believe they have the balls to charge for MB deposits!

[jethro]

Cheers mate, but i was looking all afternoon at the horses, prices were nowhere near betfairs, and no liquidity, and because you pay commision on both sides of the bet you loose to much on the QB

[Mikey-G]

Yeah you're right, sorry mate....WBX liquidity is generally crap!

Best i could find was 1.81/1.91, could always leave a cheeky back though and see if it gets taken as there is a gap for it there?? Obviously keep an eye on it though!

[bull]

I've not done WBX yet so can't help you there. I'd guess waiting for a big event would be better for liquidity maybe wait for Cheltenham to kick off!!!

If I remember correctly I did WBX on Prem football. With these types of offers where odds arent usually great I normally set the bar a bit lower and settle for 70% or thereabouts. Simply not worth wasting hours to extract the extra couple of quid.

Consider using WBX to lay you're usual matched betting for a few days, giving up a little extra profit on each bet but earning the £25 in the process, killing 2 birds with 1 stone
