Chapter 41 - Betsson

Betsson were doing an offer where I received a 50% deposit bonus of up to £25. However, the rules stated that I must rollover the deposit and the bonus 10 times - I aimed to avoid this! Tough challenge!!

For my first bet I bet £20 that the HT/FT result in the match between Tottenham and Stoke would be Stoke/Tottenham at odds of 24 and placed a lay of £18.42 against Stoke/Tottenham at odds of 30. Somewhat risky as I was overlaying. Thankfully I lost this bet so received a payout of £17.52 at Betfair, leaving me with a loss of £2.48.

My next move was to bet £20 that the HT/FT result in the match between Chelsea and Tottenham would be Tottenham/Chelsea at odds of 27 and to place a lay of £20 against Tottenham/Chelsea at odds of 28. Again, slightly risky since I was overlaying. Thankfully I lost this bet so received a payout of £19.02 at Betfair, leaving me with a small loss of £0.98.

I then bet £10 that the correct score in the match between Tottenham and Bolton would be 3-2 at odds of 35 and placed a lay of £10.95 against a 3-2 score at odds of 32. I lost this bet - and since the odds had been so good I received a payout of £10.41 from Betfair which gave me a (small) profit of £0.41. Decent!

I was now onto betting with the free money. I bet £14 that the correct score in the match between Sheffield United and Chesterfield would be 3-2 at odds of 29 and placed a lay of £13.09 against a 3-2 result at odds of 30. I lost this bet so receied a payout of £12.38 at Betfair.

My final bet was to bet £11 that the correct score in the match between Bayern Munich and Marseilles would be 3-2 at odds of 40 and to place a lay of £12.64 against a 3-2 result at odds of 34. Thankfully I lost this bet, and thanks to the brilliant odds I stumbled across I received a payout of £12.01 from an £11 bet. Good to end on a high note!

Profit from this chapter: £12.38 + £12.01 + £0.41 - £2.48 - £0.98 = £21.34

Overall profit: £679.17 + £21.34 = £700.51
