FEELING SLIGHTLY TEMPTED???

Ok, so you’ve just read a bit about Oddsmonkey, and may even have watched one of our videos, so by this point in time you MUST realise that it is a great piece of kit, so why not

START YOUR 30 DAY TRIALlorem ipsum dolor

OK, so that’s our overview, but we’ve done an in depth review of the following key features as well:

Oddsmonkey Oddsmatcher

I’ve used this tool for a long time, even when you used to be able to get a free version of it that only updated every 30 seconds it was pretty useful.

The paid version is even more awesome and has up to date feeds from over 50 different bookmakers, which you can compare against the 4 major exchanges (Betfair, Smarkets, Betdaq and Matchbook).

This tool is essential for both selecting close matches for your qualifying bets, as well as finding matches that will give you the highest returns on your free bets. It’s also a pretty useful place to visit if you’re looking for close matches to place your mug bets with.

The key screen is split out as follows:

Oddsmonkey Oddsmatcher Screen

The main things to note on this screen are:

Type – Weather this is a correct score, winner, match odds, HT/FT etc

Rating % – This is a really useful indicator to show how close the match is between the back and the lay odds. The higher this number the better.When this number is displayed in red it means it’s over 100% so an arb would be available to take at this price, however, be really careful with this because you’ll have your accounts quickly closed if you do too many

SNR % – Another useful metric to show you the % return that you should get from your free bet if it is Stake Not Returned. Anything over 80% is typically good here.

Info Icon – This generates a pop up, which has summary information, a link to display similar odds at other bookmakers and also a link through to the Oddsmonkey Calculator which is pre-populated with the details of the match.

Bookmaker / Exchange – Clicking on these will give you a direct link to the event in the bookmakers or exchange site. The good thing about these links are that they go via SafeURL, which means the bookmakers can not detect that you are coming from a Matched betting service otherwise they would be quick to restrict your account. These links save an awful lot of time when searching for close matches.

Availability – Gives you a quick snapshot into how much liquidity there is in the exchange

Clock icon – Just shows you how long ago these prices were taken. It’s best to just refresh the page as often as possible to get the latest rates, however, some feeds take longer to update than others which is why this is a useful indicator.

Oddsmatcher Filter -If you’re using the Oddsmonkey Oddsmatcher then you’ll also find the Filter that is provided to be really useful as this helps you sort through all the different types of matches available.

For example there may be an offer that you have played that is restricted to the correct score market for odds over evens (2.0).

Using this filter you can quickly enter these credentials and see what’s available for those conditions.

Disabled Bookmakers – Yes, you’re going to get gubbed at some stage so just add the list of bookies here to stop their results showing up.

Alerts – This is another handy tool, which allows you to set up to 6 filters which will send you emails if there are any results for that specific filter.

Dutch Search

Dutch Search Screen

The Dutch Search provides you all the info you need to place your dutching bets, and functions in exactly the same way as the Oddsmatcher.

The Oddsmonkey Calculator

We reviewed this calculator recently as well, and to be honest it’s my personal favourite as it’s just so easy to use.

The Oddsmonkey calculator is split into 2 different modes:

Simple Mode

Oddsmonkey Matched Betting Calculator Normal

This will do your basic calculations for you and allows you to enter back stakes, odds, and commission, and if you enter the lay odds and commission it will simply tell you how much you need to add for your lay stake and give you a handy link directly through to the bookmakers and exchange to do this.You can do this for normal bets and both your stake not returned or stake returned free bets.

Advanced Mode

Oddsmonkey Matched Betting Calculator Advanced Mode

If you activate this mode it will give you further options of what you could overlay or underlay and what your potential returns would be if the event won at either the bookmakers or the exchange.

Part LaysThere will often be an occassion as a matched betor when your exchange bet did not get fully matched as the odds fluctuated. This leaves you in an awkward position of not knowing how much you should counteract with to place the remainder of your exchange bet.

Luckily Oddsmonkey have thought about this and have a unique ‘Part Lays’ feature.If the odds fluctuate you just need to enter the new odds, and the amount that has been matched so far as a partial lay, and it will calculate the amount you should now lay at the new odds.

Bookmakers Offers Listings

Daily Offer Calendar

Scanning the internet for reload offers is a time-consuming thing, so having all of the available offers in one central place, is a really neat feature.

Daily Offers List

Oddsmonkey split the offers that are available out into a daily offer calendar, which are categorised as easy, medium or hard offers to play and give you an indication of the potential profit that you can make from each offer.

The best thing about this feature is that each offer comes with a write up of the rules of the offer as well as a strategy for the best way to play this offer, which can often take up a lot of time and headscratching in itself.

Offer Tips

If this isn’t enough then each offer has a link through to the community where members will proactively be discussing their tactics.

New Account Offers

Whilst there is an awful amount of value to be given to the more experienced matched bettor, there is also a great deal of value for the beginner.

Most useful of all is a really well structured set of guides to the different sign up offers that are split out into easy, average and hard and categorised as the different type of offer that you will have to play:

Bet X Get X Sign Up Offers
Risk Free Bet Sign Up Offers
Rollover Bonus Offers
Multi Step Offers
Enhanced Odds
Mobile Offers

New Account Sign Up Offers

Each of these offers then has a comprehensive guide, giving you step by step instructions of how you should play the offer, what the requirements are and even a link to the Oddsmatcher with pre-filtered results.

Basically it makes these sign up offers as painless as possible, and of course, if you’re ever in doubt there is a specific section in the Community to discuss each of these offers.

There are guides available for Bingo and Casino offers as well as your standard bookmakers offers.

The Oddsmonkey Racing Matcher

For me, this tool has simply been awesome. I used to spend a long time flicking between different screens to get a close match on a race, only to find that the odds changed and I was too slow to put the bet on.

On top of this, on a standard racing Saturday, this used to take up a huge amount of time going through all the different races with the different bookmakers and trying to get on some good matches.

Now, most of that pain is taken away with the Oddsmonkey Racing Matcher.

The Racing Matcher

As you can see, for every given day it lists all of the races, with a list of all the offers available on that particular race at the different bookmakers.

If you click on the button it will bring up a feed showing you all of the closest matches that are available.

This means that with one click you can see whether there is a close match and what the qualifiying loss will be for that offer.I

If you find a match that you want to get on then all you have to do is click on the link, which brings up a pop up with the following info:

Eachway Calculator

Each of these windows has Safe links through to the bookies, in most case with your bet pre-selected.

My process now is a lot simpler as all I have to do is click on each of the bookies that I’m not gubbed from, check out if any decent matches are available, then simply click through and place the bet.

You can hit the refesh button as often as you like to get the latest odds.

Simply Awesome!

The Oddsmonkey Eachway Matcher

No, if we’re talking of awesome and you’re looking for a way to print money, then the Eachway matcher is going to knock your socks off!!!

This clever bit of software takes advantage of arbs in the Eachway market rather than on the Win market, so these go under the radar of most bookies.

To understand how this works we need to understand that an Eachway bet is made up of 2 bets:

A bet that the horse will win
A bet that the horse will be placed

The general principle is that to calculate the place odds the bookmaker usually arbitrarily just divides the win odds by a fraction of the starting price, usually 1/4 or 1/5.

However, in the exchange the odds are more based on probability as they are not set by the bookmaker, but rather by the market force instead.

This means, that in certain circumstances ‘arbs’ will occur and you will be able to make a profit whatever the result of the race.T

he best thing about this software is that you can use it on gubbed accounts and you don’t need to rely on offers. As long as you have an account still open and the stakes aren’t restricted then you can use this tool.

So what does it look like?

The Eachway Matcher

Key things to note from this screen are that it provides SafeURL links through to the bookies as well as the exchanges for the Win and the Place part of the bet

Runners – Depending on how many runners there are in a race, the number of places that a bookie will payout will change.

There are often horses that pull out an are non-runners and this can mean that the bookie will update the number of places that they are paying out, however, you won’t be able to change the payout from the exchange..

If by bad luck the horse finishes in the place that has been withdrawn then you can actually lose quite a bit of money as you will still have to pay out the exchange liability, but won’t receive anything from the bookmaker.

This is a nightmare scenario so you need to be careful not to place bets too far in advance. Oddsmonkey will highlight the race in red if one more non runner will change the number of places that the bookie will payout.

Rating % – Same as on the Oddsmatcher indicates the percentage profit for your bet and SNR% is your return if using a free bet

Arb Rating % – Shows the rating of the normal arb on the win part of the bet. We want this to be less than 100% so that it isn’t flagged as an arb with the bookmaker.

Max Profit – How much you’ll make from the race

Filters – The Channel 4 or Extra Place filters come in handy and there are a number of parameters that you can configure in the Filter panel such as removing bookmakers and also selecting to hide races where one withdrawal will change places paid.

Setting / Alerts – You probably don’t want to be sitting in front of your computer all day so you can set up both visual and audio alerts to notify you when a suitable match for you becomes available eg you may only want to try and get on matches that have a profit of £5 or more.

Refresh – Another nice touch is you can set the screen to autorefresh at intervals of 30 seconds, 1 minute of 2 minutes.

The Each Way Calculator

Once you’ve found a match that you want to bet on, just click on the ‘Open Calculator’ link and you’ll find exactly the amounts that you should bet:

Eachway Calculator

You can adjust the odds and the stakes that you want to add and the profit will update accordingly, to see if this is worth you betting on.

Because you have to place 3 bets, often you’ll find that by the time you get to place the third bet, the odds will have changed so it’s handy that you can just plug the numbers into this calculator and readjust your lay stake.

Oddsmonkey Eachway Matcher Drawbacks

Now unfortunately this Eachway Matcher isn’t all milk and honey and there are a few things you need to consider:

This is an advanced tool so shouldnt be used with big stakes by beginners because you can easily lose a lot of money if you place the wrong bets
You need to be really quick to place your bets. Thousands of people are probably watching the same matches on a Saturday so you need to be quick off the draw to place your bets
Sometimes you won’t be able to get your bet fully matched, which can be a real pain as you will have to try and recalculate a partially matched Each Way bet, which gets complicated
If there are a lot of retirements you can easily get caught out by Rule 4 and if you’re unlucky will payout a large liability. This also means that you can’t place bets well in advance of a race as there is more likelihood of horses pulling out.

Overall, however, I absolutely love this tool and recently have been making most of my Matched Betting money out of this.

It’s so much better than hoping that a horse comes in 2nd to the SP favourite or some other rubbish offer, because this will guarantee profit time after time.

It’s also great for the Extra Places as well, and you can easily cover a few horses in the race and hope that they come in on that extra place to give you an amazing extra payout.

This happened with me on a couple of horses recently and I won over £200 each time

The Oddsmonkey Community

I’ve found the Oddsmonkey community to be very active and I think with more and more people joining it’s just going to get better over time.

The community is basically split out into new sign up offers, reloads and general themes:

In general, I’ve found the community members to be really helpful and quick to respond and you have both ‘Helpful Community Members’ and Oddsmonkey staff to help you with your enquiries.

The Oddsmonkey Blog

This is basically just a blog where one of the Oddsmonkey team members is trying to hit a target of £600 a month, so he goes step by step through every offer that he plays.

It’s not the most useful feature but is interesting to see how other people can still make money from matched betting and the kind of offers that they go through each day.

Oddsmonkey.com Blog

The Oddsmonkey Acca Matcher

There are a number of other tools out there at the moment including Accumulator Generator, that are offering services to find you the best Accas, and the Oddsmonkey team have just added their own version to their subscription service.

At the time of writing this was still very much in its infancy and has just come out of beta phase with 3 options:

Accumulator No Lay Method

This is what I would call the lazy method where all you have to do is to add the legs of the Acca on the Bookmakers website and you don’t need to lay these off.

The idea is that because there is a potential to get a free bet, then over time you can expect to earn the ‘Expected Value’ figure per Acca.

The thing with this approach is that you could lose all of your stake and you could win big on each Acca, however, you need to look at the results over time.

The minimum number of Accumulators that they recommend to give you this average is 100.

Oddsmonkey Lay All Accamatcher

Accumulator Lay All at Start Method

This is similar to the No Lay approach, apart from you will also need to lay your bets off at the exchange

Accumulator Lay Sequentially Method

This technique requires more effort on your behalf, but can also be more rewarding as well. The general approach is quite simple again, where you need to lay off each leg of your Acca, until one of your legs loses.

As soon as you lose a leg, you stop laying off, and hope that the rest of the legs win, so that you can hit your refund.If all your legs win or you lose more than 2 legs, then you will end up making a loss, however, the legs are chosen to give you a competitive advantage against the bookies in the long run.

Oddsmonkey Lay Sequentially Accamatcher

As you can see in the screenshot below the Acca screen gives you a dropdown to select one of the bookies that has an Acca refund / insurance offer on, and then the software will pre-populate the screen with matches that fit the offer criteria (ie the correct leagues and minimum odds).

The most useful thing to look at on this screen is the widget below, which shows you the different scenarios of the Acca, how likely they are and what you would win/lose if that scenario happened.

On top of this it gives you the Expected Value, which is the value of the Acca you would get on average if you did the same Accumulator a hundred times.

The Accumulator selection is chosen for you, however, you can swap in and out legs yourself and update the Acca.

This is something I would recommend to keep you under the bookies radar, because I imagine a lot of people will be doing the same Acca selections from this oddsmonkey tool, so it could raise suspicion.

Once you’ve chosen your Acca, you can save this and then goto the ‘Saved Accas’ section:

Saved Accas Screen

This is the screen that you will need to visit after each leg of the Acca has finished. You’ll need to enter whether the leg has won or lost and then update the Acca.

You’ll then be shown how much you should lay in the next leg, and if the lay odds have fluctuated you can update them here, and it will automatically re-calculate your lay stake…. genius!

This is another great addition to their suite of tools and I would say that this alone is worth the £15 a month subscription.

What does Oddsmonkey Premium Subscription Include?

At the moment Oddsmonkey are running a limited time offer of £15 per month premium subscription, which you can cancel at any time and also comes with a 30 day money back guarantee.For this money you’ll get everything that I’ve talked about in this post:

What Don’t I Like About Oddsmonkey?

It’s pretty hard to find any negative points really.

If I’m really looking for something then I’d say that on the Eachway matcher some of the feeds like Betway for example tend to lag a little, which means when you try to place the bet, you’ll find the odds have changed. However, I suspect that’s more to do with the feed than the Oddsmonkey service.

I don’t like the claims that you can make £1500 a month from Matched Betting as I don’t personally believe that’s possible, at least for an extended period of time, unless you’re spending hours doing it, or you’re multi accounting, but I understand it’s a sales tactic.

That’s about it really, everything else is really positive and I think the price of £15 a month is fine as well, considering the value it gives you.

What Do I Like About Oddsmonkey?

To be honest, everything that I’ve mentioned above!

The Oddsmonkey team are obviously experienced in matched betting and know what some of the key issues are for matched bettors.

Where possible they’ve provided tools and shortcuts to make Matched Betting consume less of your time and give you the most profit.

For me, the Eachway matcher is an excellent product that you can just use again and again, without having to deal with the hassle of redeeming bonuses, rollovers or the threat of getting your accounts banned, so this is the standalone benefit for me.

The Racing Matcher is simply awesome as it saves you so much time trying to find close matches and I’m sure the Acca Matcher is going to develop into another killer product.

For Beginners as well this is an excellent product as it gives you great step by step tutorials and provides and excellent community to back you up with any help or support you may need.

Where Can I join?

If you hop on over to oddsmonkey.com you’ll find 3 different options available for you.

You can either:

Sign up to a free account, which will give you access to some of the basic tutorials and give you enough info to get started
Sign up to the premium monthly subscription for £15 a month
Sign up to the annual subscription for £150 per yearIf you have any doubt about this then I suggest you sign up to the free account and give it a go.

If you’re still in doubt sign up to the £15 premium subscription and if you are not comfortable with this after 30 days you’ll get your money back

My personal opinion, is that without this product you’re just going to be spending a lot more time doing things that you shouldn’t be wasting your time on, when they can be done a lot quicker with a tool like this.

There are also some unique tools like the Eachway matcher that you won’t be able to do yourself, without either being a maths genius or having to work with a lot of different crazy excel sheets.

I’ve tried the product, I’m making money from it every week, so can’t recommend it highly enougy.

However, like I say if you’re in any doubt, just sign up to the free account and see if this is the right product for you.

Accumulator Generator Review

8th June 2016 By martinos74 2 Comments

I recently purchased the Accumulator Generator software, which is the latest in a range of products from Betting / Software whizz Mike Cruickshank.

I did this mainly due to the lack of good offers around in the Matched betting world at the moment and this looked like a decent way to add a few more pounds into the piggy bank, so here’s what I found:

What is Accumulator Generator?

Accumulator Generator is basically a piece of software that scans a wide range of bookies that are out there and provides a selection of pre-selected Football accumulators that will help you make the most out of the bookmakers offers.

In general, bookmakers love footy accas, as they are a big, steady source of income for them and the odds are stacked even more in their favour than with a standard bet. Pretty much every bookmaker is now offering some kind of ‘Acca Insurance’, to draw the average punter in.

Most of the terms of these Acca Insurance offers are that if you lose a single leg of your Acca, then you are eligible for a refund.For the normal punter that is a great bonus, but for the seasoned matched bettor, this shouts ‘OPPORTUNITY’ and the Accumulator Generator makes the most out of this, by providing an easy to use interface and a series of straight talking training videos that will get you up and running in no time.

How Much can You Earn from Accumulator Generator?

Well, to be honest that is entirely up to you and how much time and effort you want to put in and also how much you want to risk your accounts from getting referred to the traders.

Realistically though, you’re looking at earning on average £10 from every £50 staked, which is a pretty decent return.

Most of the bookies limit you to having a maximum of a single acca finishing each day, but even if you just placed a single acca each day, that’s a return of over £300 a month, which isn’t to be sniffed at.

What’s Included in Accumulator Generator?

Accumulator Generator Training Videos

The software itself as actually pretty easy to use, but to help you get started Mike has provided a series of training videos, which take you all the way through the basic principles of what a Football Accumulator is, to detailed descriptions of the 5 different strategies that you can employ.

I found these videos really useful, not only in helping me understand how to use the software, but Mike often goes into detail explaining the logic and maths behind the software, which is a nice touch.

The Accumulator Generator Acca Matcher

The centre piece of the software is the Acca Matcher screen, which you can see in the screenshot below:

As you can see from the screenshot, the Accumulator Generator software throws up a large number of potential Accas that you could use, searching over 50,000 potential accas combinations per bookmaker and providing you with the most profitable selection.

The software usually throws up pages and pages of accas which range in value usually up to a maximum of about £15.For each potential accumulator, the software provides the following key information:

• The ‘EV’ or Estimated Value column shows the returns you should expect to receive when you complete the Acca, if you had placed a £50 stake.

• Length of the Acca, which is really useful to know in case you’re not likely to be around for a few days

• Teams – Which matches are included in the Acca

• Total Back / Lay Odds

And to help you sift through all of those footy accas to find the one most suitable for you, there is a handy filter tool that you can use:

The Accumulator Details Screen

Once you have found an Acca that you are interested in you can click through to the Accumulator Details screen shown below:

This is another key screen that you are going to be using at the following times:

Creating Your Acca

This screen shows you the details and timings of each individual leg of the Acca as well as the individual back odds for each leg, that you will need to place at the bookmaker.It also gives you some useful statistics about the likelihood of losing a certain number of legs in each acca.

Updating Your Acca

As soon as a leg of the accumulator has completed, you’ll need to come back to this screen and add whether the leg has won or lost, and then hit the ‘Save Acca’ button.This will then update the ideal stake that you should add as a lay stake.

Sometimes the lay stakes will fluctuate, so you can manually override them on this screen and this will recalculate the ideal stake to lay for you. This is a great feature and makes it really easy to use.

Footy Acca Leg Reminders

One key thing for you to remember if you’re using this software, is to lay each of the legs of the Acca before the game commences otherwise, you’re likely to ruin your acca.

Luckily Mike and the team have already thought about this and have provided a ‘Reminders’ section, which provides you with a list of the timings and games that you will need to lay off next for each acca.

This automatically updates when you input the result of the previous leg in the Acca details section.

Accumulator Generator Bet Finder Feature

The final feature worth mentioning in the software is the bet finder, which helps you find bets with close matches across all of the different bookies.

This is a killer feature which you can use to:

• Help you gain maximum profit from your free bets and go under the bookies radar

• Place Mug bets on decent Acca bets

• Find a comprehensive list of other offers from bookmakers

Just check out this video from Mike, as he walks you through each of these features in person on the Accumulator Generator:

Accumulator Generator Strategies Explained

There are a number of different ways in which you can use the Accumulator Generator software, depending on your attitude to risk and the time you have available.

You’ll get detailed instructions about each of these strategies in the training videos, but we’ve pulled out the key points from each strategy below:

Back, Lay and Hope

With this system you place you accumulator at the bookies and lay off each leg one by one. You are hoping that only one of your legs loses so you can hit the refund from the bookmakers.

If all of the legs in the accumulator win, then you make a small loss

If more than one of the legs loses, then you make a small loss

If you only one of the legs loses then you receive the refund from the bookies

This is a low risk, easy to follow approach that a lot of beginners will use, and means you need to lay each leg one after another

Bonus Included

With this method you will make a profit whatever the outcome, however, the further down the accumulator you get before you lose a leg, the more profit you will make. If you lose a leg at the start of the Acca then you just won’t make as much profit.

With this technique, you just keep on laying the bets until you lose 2 legs

Lock In Profit

This technique is fairly similar to the previous technique, however, you are pretty much guaranteed to make the EV of the Acca each time.

This technique means you are less open to any fluctuation in the lay odds and guarantee the profit, regardless of what happens.

Again, with this technique you keep on laying the bet until you lose 2 legs of the Acca

Advantage Play

This is a completely different approach for those of you, who don’t have the time to lay off your bets and also don’t mind taking a bit of a gamble.In this approach you don’t lay off any of the bets, but use the special ‘Advantage Play’ filter to find your accas.

These will usually be accas made up of of legs with low odds so you are a lot more likely to win the acca or the refund. The software selects the best possible odds combos from a bookmaker, which effectively removes the bookmakers edge and gives the advantage back to the punter.

They advise that this isn’t recommended for users, who haven’t been betting for long, probably because you could go for long runs without hitting a refund.

The overall recommendation is that you need to put on about 100 accas to see if this approach works for you.

Lay All Method

Most of the other acca methods require you to lay off the accas sequentially, so you can’t have more than one game in your acca taking place at the same time. This can, of course, prove to be quite time consuming and a bit of a pain.

The Lay All method, however, is different as it selects Accas where you can place all of your bets up front, without having to worry about remembering to lay them at specific times.This is the easiest approach, but there don’t seem to be as many candidates of accas in this category.

Is Accumulator Generator Worth the Money?

My honest opinion is yes, this is definitely worth the money and you will more than make the £150 one off cost for the software back pretty quickly, however, this may not be for everyone for the following couple of reasons:

You Need Good Availability

Although the accumulator generator software gives you all the tools and information that you need, for most of the strategies that we’ve talked about, you’re going to need to be near to an internet connection and computer to lay off your bets at specific times, ie when the leg has finished.

If you’ve got a lot of time on your hands then this will be fine for you, or you can just use the Advantage Play or Lay All Techniques

You Have an Increased Risk of Gubbing

So logically, if there are thousands of people who have signed up to this software already, then that means there is going to be a lot of people who are betting on the same accas that the Acca matcher throws up.

From a bookies perspective any flurries in activity or any suspicious betting activity/patterns gets flagged up pretty quickly in their systems. Remember, these guys are recording pretty much everything you and others are doing so patterns become clear quite quickly.

If you overuse this software, and go for the highest EV accas all the time at the highest stakes, then I’m afraid, you’re risking your account at some stage. BUT, by being a little more cautious with your approach you should blend in more easily and shouldn’t have any problems.

My Recommendations

• Don’t abuse the system and don’t hammer all of the offers

• Mix your accas up across different bookies

• Don’t always take the highest EV accas

• Don’t always place bets at the maximum stake

• Try to stick to matches that are in the more popular leagues rather than betting on Albania vs Kurdistan

If you’re in any doubt about this then just sign up for the 14 day trial and it will only cost you a quid. This is what I did and was plenty of time for you to get used to the Accumulator Generator software and figure out if it is right for you.

Chapter 5 : Footy Accas and Sports Arbitrage

21st May 2016 By martinos74 4 Comments

Could footy accas be the solution to a dry month of matched betting?

Well, after completing a lot of the sign up offers and also being gubbed from a few bookies, I’ve noticed 2 main things recently from reading a lot of the matched betting communities out there:

There are a heck of a lot of gubbings going on
There are very few decent offers around at the moment

A lot of people have put this down to a post-Cheltenham clear-out, but a lot of people are also saying that matched betting is dead and is nothing like it used to be. To be honest I’m finding it all a bit more time consuming than I would have hoped, and even though there is money to be made out there, you still need to put a lot of hours in.

Claims of people making £500 – £1000 per month, are now looking to look at little exaggerated to me, unless of course, you are spending hours in front of your computer trying to squeeze every penny out of every offer available.

With this in mind, this month I thought I’d take a look at a couple of other options where people have been claiming big winnings as well:

Accumulator Generator
Sports Betting Arbitrage

Accumulator Generator

If you don’t know, the basic concept of an Accumulator or footy acca as it is commonly known, is that you place a bet on a series of events happening, and if they all win, then you receive a multiple of all of the odds combined and usually make a big profit if it comes off.

However, if any of the legs of your accumulator loses, then you lose all of the bet. Typically footy accas are anywhere between 3 to 6 legs (matches), and obviously the more legs there are the more you can win, and the easier it is to lose.

Most bookmakers now offer something called ‘Acca Insurance’, which means that if one of your legs loses, you would be entitled to a refund of your initial stake, which is where a matched bettors radar starts flashing!!!

Bookies love Accumulators, because they always have an edge over the punter and most of the time the bet will end up losing. Basically, the table is weighted even more in the bookies favour for Accumulators than on single bets.

However, Accumulator Generator is a bit of software that scans the different bookmaker’s offers out there and provides a combination of matches, where you are likely to make a profit, by taking advantage of the Acca Insurance refunds.

In the screenshot below, you can see a list of all of the footy Accas that were available on a certain date, and in the ‘EV’ column you can see the estimated value of the Acca. This shows you how much you would make from placing a £50 bet on the Acca, but generally you’re looking at a £10 return for every £50 spent.

The idea is pretty simple… put an Acca on with the bookmaker, then just lay off each of the legs of your bet after each match finishes.

There is a screen in Acccumulator Generator dedicated to each Acca that you put on, as you can see below, and the system is also clever enough to give you reminders of when you need to put your next bet on.

After each match finishes, you put in the result, and then add in the lay odds of the next leg in the sequence and the Accumulator Generator software will automatically provide you with the lay stake required.

There are a number of different tactics that you can use but the easiest is back, lay and hope technique. This is where you put the selection on at the bookies, then you lay one match at a time, and stop laying as soon as you have lost one match.

• If you win all of your matches in the accumulator then you will make a small loss

• If you lose more than 2 legs in the accumulator you will make a small loss

• If you lose only 1 leg, then you will qualify for the Acca insurance and this is where you make the profit.

What Does Accumulator Generator Cost?

At the time of writing the cost is £148.99 + VAT, or you can sign up to a £1 trial for 14 days

Is Accumulator Generator worth the Money?

I used Accumulator Generator for a 30 day trial period, and came to the following conclusions:

YOU NEED LOTS OF TIME

Most of the techniques used by Accumulator Generator, mean that you have to wait until the match has finished to place your lay bet. Games can be finishing at any time of day or night, as a lot of the matches will be in different locations around the world. What this means is that you constantly need to be aware of when your next match is finishing, because if you don’t lay one of your legs you can ruin your accumulator.

For some people this may be fine, but for me I found that this ended up affecting my free time, and meaning I always wanted to be near to a computer so I could place the lay bets easily and ensure I had internet connection. I can see that if you had a lot of Accas on all at once and you dedicated a weekend to this, then it may be worth it, but overall I found this a bit of an inconvenience

THERE’S AN INCREASED RISK OF GUBBINGS

Now, I don’t know if this was just a result of the post Cheltenham gub-a-thon from the bookmakers, but every day I was hearing about people losing their accounts (primarily William Hill) after they had been using Accumulator Generator.

It seems pretty obvious to me that this would happen. If there are lots of people putting bets on the same random matches then this is going to send signals to the bookies, that something is a bit fishy, and I’m pretty sure that any matches that the Accumulator Generator was throwing up, would bring up some kind of flag at the bookmakers HQ.

There do seem to be a lot of people that have signed up to Accumulator Generator so I fear that it has just become a victim of its own success and now is a quickfire way to get a gubbing.

YOU CAN MAKE A TIDY PROFIT

I think again, the golden rule with Accumulator Generator is not to overuse it and you will probably be ok.

If you stay away from the highest Estimated Value footy accumulators, don’t always bet the maximum stake, only play a few accas a week and don’t bet on really obscure games, then you’re less likely to get flagged up.

I can see that the temptation would be to put loads of multiple Accas on with different bookies each day, and the individual profits would start to add up, but in my opinion you’re probably going to lose your accounts pretty soon, unless you’ve had your account for a long time with a track history of betting on Accas.

Sports Arbitrage

Whilst we’re in this dry patch of matched betting, with lots of gubbings going on and not a lot of offers that were particularly appealing, I decided to branch out and try my hand at Sports Arbitrage.

To be honest, I just fell into this more by accident and out of boredom than anything else.

For those of you who don’t know much about this either, the principle of sports arbitrage or ‘arbing’ is pretty simple:

Place a bet at one bookmaker for certain oddsTHEN

Lay the bet on a betting exchange at lower odds.

I was just checking out some odds on oddsmonkey.com because I needed to use up one of my free bets, when I noticed there were a lot of bets that had ratings of around 110% , like in the example below:

I’d never looked at the highest rated bets too much previously because I was guessing that if you place too many bets with these high ratings, you’re likely to get your account flagged.

However, as I’d recently been gubbed by the likes of Paddy Power, Bet Victor, Stan James and Coral, I thought there is no harm in placing a few bets on these accounts.

Depending on the size of the arb I thought this could bring in a few useful extra quid, as using the oddsmatcher software they were quite easy to find and put on although didn’t bring in groundbreaking returns as you can see in the example below:

Can you make money from Arbitrage betting?

Well, in my brief foray into sports arbitrage this month, I would say that there definitely is money to be made from this, however, you need to consider the following items:

YOU NEED TO BE QUICK!

I was using the free version of MBassist or Oddsmonkey as it is now, which refreshes its odds every 30 minutes. Unless you are using some kind of paid software, which updates as soon as an arb is found, then in a lot of the cases, by the time you get to put the bet on, the odds in the exchange have changed and there is no longer an arb available.

YOU’LL PROBABLY GET YOUR STAKES LIMITED

So, my little experiment was going along swimmingly well, until one of the bookmakers (Stan James) started limiting my stakes. In fact they limited them so much that it was pretty much impossible to put a bet on any more.

YOU RISK LOSING YOUR ACCOUNTS

Yes, the bookies are actually quite clever, and anywhere they notice they may have a disadvantage, then sooner rather than later they will catch on to you an close your accounts.

From what I have read, the same can be true for arbs.I’m not 100% sure how they find out, but I imagine that most bookies are aware of when an arb is taken, so if they see this behaviour repeatedly on your account, or a flurry of bets at a certain time, then they are likely to either limit your stakes or close your account.

I’d only recommend doing this occasionally and spread out across your various bookmaker’s accounts, and definitely don’t overdo this on accounts you want to keep.

However, if you’ve been gubbed already, then you may as well make the most of it and take them for every penny you can get.
