Welcome to the Honest Betting Reviews blog. Here you can find the latest updates on betting systems and tipsters currently under review as well as our tips on how to beat the bookies with the best winning betting systems we have profited from,
Originally a Scottish word meaning being forcefully silenced, not a pleasant experience for certain, nowadays it mainly refers to having yours betting account limited by a bookmaker. Accounts can be limited in several ways.
You might be restricted from taking part in any promotions thus limiting your bonus funded matched betting opportunities; you might have your maximum stake reduced, which could halt all your arbitrage betting and high stakes value bets. Whatever way they find to restrict your account, you will certainly get the message that you are no longer a valued customer. Essentially, they are telling you to take your business elsewhere.
Bookmakers will limit accounts for several reasons, but primarily because you are making too much money from them. Bookmakers don’t like to consistently lose. They don’t mind it if you make a big win occasionally, that is par for the course, but if you make a regular profit from them over a significant period, then they will scrutinise every move you make and if you continue to profit from matched or arbitrage betting you will almost certainly be gubbed.
Though not as physically painful as an old-fashioned Glaswegian gubbing, it is certainly a painful experience financially, particularly if you are a professional or semi-professional sports better who relies on a steady income stream from the bookies.
Most online bookmakers will alert you to the fact that you’ve been gubbed by email, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Sometimes you simply find that your bets have been limited when you try to place one. Your first reaction is likely to be to phone customer services. Generally, you will receive a sympathetic ear, but it is unlikely that you will simply get “un-gubbed” over the phone.
Probably you bet course of action is to do as they have covertly suggested and move on; find another bookmaker. But this time you will need to ensure that you avoid getting gubbed yet again.
Avoiding getting gubbed isn’t as easy as some people suggest. You should bear in mind that online bookmakers employ clever analysts who continually monitor and analyse all accounts using sophisticated algorithms to weed out punters who are winning too much money or simply whose betting patterns differ from those typical of the average punter.
Your challenge is to disguise your activities so that you appear to be an average sort of punter while continuing to make a profit. The problem is you don’t know the criteria used by the various bookmakers to separate the average punter from the professional. How much profit can you make without attracting attention?
The best way of disguising your profitable betting strategies whether they be carefully formulated value bets, matched betting or arbitrage is to simultaneously place bets typically placed by an ordinary punter. Somewhat disrespectfully these are referred to as “mug bets.”
Essentially these are bets placed on high profile events, often on favourites at low odds; loosing bets placed on outsiders; bets placed every week on your favourite football club to win even when they have little chance of doing so; bets placed on several different sports; bets recommended by high profile tipsters; low stake wild accumulator bets that have almost zero chance of winning; and so forth.
Each time you place a mug bet you should lay it at a betting exchange. This way you can appear to be a regular punter without risking too much money. The inevitable small losses you do make will be more than compensated for by your winnings on your more nefarious betting strategies. For more strategies to avoid being gubbed, you can read our article on how to keep your bookie accounts open. Make sure you take action before it is too late.

There are no payment details required, no strings attached, just 7 days of free tips. How good does that sound?
Here is a look at just how exceptional the Master has been since he started tipping at the Betting Gods network back in 2014:
– Over £6,200 profit to just £10 stakes
– 29% Strike Rate
– 30% ROI (return on investment)
– £150 average monthly profit
Absolutely fantastic results there and some of the most consistent we have come across from a tipster.
To have averaged a return on investment of 30% over a period of more than three years is quite incredible stuff, almost unheard of in the tipping game.

Perhaps one of the most easily recognisable faces in racing, Jim McGrath became a staple of Channel 4’s racing team for over 30 years and was well-known for his onscreen banter with racing legend John Francome. Nicknamed the ‘Sage of Halifax’, McGrath worked for Channel 4 from the mid-80s and was renowned for his knowledge and insight into one of the most popular sports in the UK that still gets shown on terrestrial TV.
His later decision not to join the new ITV racing team was rightly seen as a huge loss to many enthusiasts, including his most ardent fans who had become used to he and John Francome discussing the form and chances of various riders and horses.
Early Life
McGrath was born in 1955 in Scotland and his love affair with racing stretches way back to 1963 when he was sat in his grandparent’s house in Edinburgh watching Ayala win the Grand National on an old black and white TV set. He wanted, of course, to be a jockey first and foremost but found out very early on that he was not going to be suitable. He spent the summer at the Whistbury stable of Ben Marshall, having intensive trials before learning he wasn’t going to make the grade.
That didn’t diminish McGrath’s love of the sport, however, and he began working for Timeform in 1974, taking every job conceivable so that he could be close to all things racing. The company was based in Halifax and had been founded in 1948 to provide information on horse performances to those in the industry and people who loved to put on a bet.
What he realised when he first started with the company was that he actually knew very little about racing. That began to change quickly. McGrath worked with Timeform until his departure in 2009, during that time going from humble tea boy to chairman.
Racing Career
McGrath was a quick learner and soon grabbed the attention of television executives. He was taken on as a commentator in 1980 by ITV who then had the rights to televise racing. When this moved to Channel 4 in 1984, McGrath was a natural choice to include in the new racing line up. That led to a 35 year career commenting on races that only ended when the rights went back to ITV a few years back.
One of the enduring parts of McGrath’s career in television was his relationship with ex-jockey and commentator John Francome, a double act that seemed to tick all the right boxes. McGrath was strong on the rules and form while Francome could bring his own personal experience to the table, something that seemed to be a perfect match. They became a staple practically every weekend and during festivals, one that many racing punters remember to this day.
As far as McGrath is concerned there were several highlights from his racing commentary career. One of the most difficult was when racing at Cheltenham was abandoned in 2001 due to bad weather and he was summarily dispatched by Channel 4 to cover racing in Doncaster, rushing up the motorway to make it with just five minutes to spare and with hardly any TV equipment to help things run smoothly. McGrath talks about Dubai World Cup in 1996 as one of the highlights of his career where he got to see legendary horse Cigar win.
Calling It a Day
Once the racing moved back to ITV, however, McGrath finally decided to call it a day and has not regretted his decision.
McGrath wasn’t just a pundit to be wheeled out in front of the cameras when there was a race on television. He’s also made a remarkable contribution to the industry over the years. He was, for almost 20 years, a member of organisations such as British Horseracing Board’s Jump Racing Advisory Panel and the Horserace Writers and Photographers’ Association Committee and became a director for the British Horseracing Board in 2005. He is also a trustee of the British Horseracing Standards Education Trust. Not only that, he has been involved over the last 35 years with notable causes such as the MacMillan races at York which has helped raise millions for the charity.
Add to that his continuing career as a horse breeder and owner and there has been plenty to keep McGrath busy after the end of his television career with John Francome. Success with horses such as Toogood to be True and Castles In The Air have fuelled his enthusiasm for the sport and he’s been able to breed some 80 winners over the years for both flats and jumps. He’s still dreaming about owning that top horse though and continues to work with some of the best names and stables in horse racing.

The booming of the internet into virtually all walks of our life has revolutionised how we spend our time and how we work.
One of the biggest impacts has been on the huge range of businesses that now base themselves either partly or entirely on the internet.
Whilst this has made our lives easier in so many ways, it has also opened up the opportunity to make a handy second income if you have a little bit of spare time.
Or a third income, or a fourth – and so on!
It really just depends on how much time you have and your dedication to the specific task at hand.
There is now everything from matched betting to “clickworking,” to survey filling – that all offer the opportunity to make some extra cash from the comfort of your living room.
We have tried dozens of these money-making opportunities ourselves and below we list the best ones in our opinion.
Here goes – our Top 30 Ways to Make Money Online!
1. Matched Betting – The Ultimate Money Maker
At number one has to be matched betting – the ultimate way of generating a risk-free income from home.
In case you aren’t familiar with matched betting, it is the art of using the bookies’ free bets and bonuses to make money risk-free. There are literally hundreds of these offers and if you use a matched betting package like Profit Maximiser, you will be given all the tools you need to take advantage of them time after time.
Thousands of people have become matched bettors and do very well from it. You see, the bookies need to offer people free bets to try and lure them in to becoming customers as competition is fierce. But if you use the free bets in the right way you can set things up so you cannot lose.
Some people make a full-time income from matched betting of up to £30,000 per year. That takes a great deal of dedication, but even with just an hour or two per day you can make an extra few hundred quid per month. Pretty awesome stuff!
2. Enter Competitions
The next major “professionalised” second income opportunity is to enter competitions – as in lots and lots of competitions.
People who do this are called “compers” and apparently the most dedicated amongst them make upwards of £20,000 per year from it.
Of course, there is no guarantee with competitions, but the law of averages says that if you enter enough of them, you should win some.
The Competition Time forum at Money Saving Expert is a good place to start as they list hundreds of competitions you can enter.
Who knows – if you get lucky, you might end up winning a holiday to the Seychelles, a luxury cruise or who knows, maybe even a car. That would be nice eh…
3. Complete Online Activities for Cash
Companies these days use the power of the internet to gather vital research and data on potential products. It’s much easier and cheaper for them than the old-fashioned way of face-to-face testing.
That’s good news for us too, because we can make money online without needing to leave our own homes.
Sites like Swagbucks and Toluna will pay you for things like testing products, completing surveys, watching videos and various other online activities.
The amount you make per activity tends to be pretty small, but as with a lot of these online tasks, the cash can build up over time!
4. Write an Ebook
Back in the day if you wanted to get a book published you had to go through the laborious process of finding an agent willing to take up your work or go through the even harder route of pitching directly to publishers.
Your chances of getting published were pretty slim (notwithstanding you being a budding JK Rowling!), with the publisher or agent sifting through hundreds of potential works for the one or two it would actually publish.
Plus if they did show an interest in your work, they would probably want you to do redraft after redraft.
Now thankfully it is beautifully easy – you can just write an ebook and publish it on Amazon. Then you can get paid up to 70% for each sale made.
With more and more reading being done online and through Kindles these days, your potential audience is massive. Indeed, with close to half a billion customers and growing, the Amazon platform is collossal.
It is probably best to focus on non-fiction work – perhaps a “how to” guide or something where you have particular expertise. A snazzy cover design plus some positive reviews should also help you get some traction.
5. Take Online Surveys for Cash
Market Research is a vital part of a company’s success and they need to know our opinions on a wide range of topics and potential products.
So if you take the time to complete a survey on a site like Valued Opinions or Toluna, you can make some extra money on the side. Plus filling out some surveys can be quite fun!
You may only make a small amount from each one – a couple of quid – but again, these amounts can add up. Plus you can do them while watching TV or listening to some music.
6. Invest in Stocks and Shares
The US stock market is, quite simply, the greatest wealth-generating machine in history.
One dollar invested in 1915 would be worth over $15,000 by 2015. That’s like turning a loaf of bread into a Mercedes.
And that’s taking into account two world wars, a Great Depression, a Great Recession, numerous catastrophes and disasters, an oil crisis or two – and so on.
Here’s a look at it in graph format:
Pretty impressive eh?
The point is that long-term, no investment can match the US stock market for delivering returns consistently, even though in the short-term there are wild fluctuations in the market.
If you can invest in stocks with a long time-frame in mind – say 5, 10, or even 20 years – then your chances of making money are high.
Now you shouldn’t just go off buying shares willy-nilly with no plan in mind. You should consult an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) who can advise on a portfolio that suits your attitude to risk.
Or you could join an online advisory service like the Motley Fool. Their advice to buy shares in Amazon in 1998 turned out rather well…a $5,000 investment back then would now be worth over $1.5 million.
And the average stock pick of their chief advisor David Gardner is up over 300% since the service started – yes that’s the average.
Now you may be thinking that you need a fortune to invest in the stock market, but that isn’t the case. Even if you only have a hundred quid or so spare each month, it can pay to invest in stocks and shares with the right advice.
Over the long term, that proverbial loaf of bread you invested a few years ago could be on its way to turning into a Mercedes…
7. Freelance Out Your Talents
Are you a creative type with useful skills in things like writing, graphic design or video production? Have some knowledge of internet marketing?
Then a great way to earn some extra cash is though sites like Fiverr and Peopleperhour, which are platforms where people can advertise such skills or particular jobs for a fixed rate that others can utilise.
For website owners and people who run their own business, it can be very useful to have such skills available at a much lower cost than if they went through an agency or had to hire someone.
8. Buy Some Bitcoin
This one is a little more speculative but could pay off handsomely in the long run.
Bitcoin – in case you are not familiar with it – is a form of digital currency that has a number of advantages to traditional currency. It allows you to transfer money directly between two parties, therefore cutting out the middle man such as banks, Paypal or Western Union. So for things like international money transfers, it can save a lot in fees and hassle.
Plus it’s not controlled by any bank, government or corporation and allows privacy in transactions.
Many people think it is the currency of the future and have been buying it up by the shedload. Hence its value has skyrocketed in recent years. If you had bought just $100 worth a few years ago it would now be worth over $100,000.
Some predict that this is just a bubble like the Tulip craze of the 17th Century, the Tech bubble of the early 2000’s or the property collapse of just a few years ago.
Others however point to the fixed quantity of Bitcoin, the increasing demand for it and its ever increasing adoption as a method of payment and say it could go to anything from $100,000 per Bitcoin to a million over the next 10 to 15 years.
Who knows which way it will go? Certainly it is a risk, but owning just a small amount of Bitcoin could pay off in the long term.
Plus there are plenty of other cryptocurrencies that are quite a bit cheaper now, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and others. So pocketing a small quantity of these could also reap dividends in the long term if cryptocurrencies do take off as some experts expect.
As we say, investing in cryptos is highly speculative and really your willingness to invest is probably defined by how likely it is you think for them to catch on and become mainstream currencies.
9. Sell Event Tickets from Home
The idea of selling tickets for concerts and sporting events tends to be associated with shady touts standing shiftily outside stadiums shouting “tickets” in your ear as you walk by.
Those days are seemingly coming to an end though with the popularity of sites like Seatwave, Stubhub and Viagogo, which allow you to legally buy and sell tickets online.
So if you can anticipate in advance what are likely to be the popular events and get in early before tickets have sold out, you could make some decent cash from buying and selling later.
10. Review Products Online
As we can atest, reviews are an important part of everyday life for businesses and people these days.
Before we book a holiday, buy a new gadget or visit a restaurant, we like to see reviews of what we are going for first to see whether other people liked it.
So for businesses too, having genuine reviews from real people can make a big difference to their sales. Sites like Usertesting and Slicethepie will therefore offer small rewards for people who do reviews.
11. Make a Profit Flipping Websites
One way of making some extra money is to buy websites, improve them in some way and then sell them on for profit.
You can view hundreds of websites for sale on sites like Flippa in just about every market niche. If you have skills in online marketing or can add some fresh content or products to a site, then you could increase its value.
Beware of some dodgy sites for sale though with fake traffic and sales stats. Make sure you do your due diligence and can genuinely verify the site is making how much they claim it is.
12. Set Up Your Own Website
As an alternative to buying other people’s websites and selling them on, you could build your own website instead.
These days there are lots of build-your-own-website tools like Wix, which means the barriers to entry are quite low.
Evidently you will need some way of making money through your site, whether it is selling products directly or through advertising via a platform such as Google’s Adsense.
But if you have an interest or hobby that you would enjoy writing about or promoting online, then setting up your own website could be a way of making some extra cash.
13. Rent Out Your Room or Home
There has been so much disruption in recent years of traditional industries – Uber and Lyft of the taxi industry, Amazon of firstly bookselling and then online retail, Tesla of the automotive industry and now we have Airbnbdisrupting the hotel industry.
That’s been good news for us though, with the chance to rent out our rooms or homes to tourists and travelers on our own terms and for substantial profit.
Some people even derive their main income from it in popular tourist destinations and also get to meet lots of interesting new people – although there are a few horror stories as well!
But if you want to rent out just a room there are also sites like Easyroommate you can utilise.
And there is an article here on how to find the perfect airbnb accommodation.
14. Sell Your Stock Images
Fancy yourself a budding photographer? Well one way to make some extra money would be to sell your best pics on a site like Shutterstock.
It has over 150 million pictures on its site for people to purchase individually or as part of packages and has apparently paid out more than £500 million to its contributors.
If you can choose a popular sector like sports, cooking or health and fitness then you could find high demand for your pics. Bear in mind that these will need to be high quality though and not just quick snaps taken on your iPhone.
Shutterstock will pay you around 25 cents per download of your picture, so if your picture is downloaded regularly the earnings could add up nicely.
15. Earn Money From Your Shopping
You might not think that going shopping is an ideal way to make money, but in fact if you are going to buy something anyway, then using a cashback scheme can be a great way of getting something back for doing very little.
There are sites like Quidco.com or Top Cashback that will pay you up to 10% cashback on purchases.
Make sure you have adlock turned off though as otherwise these sites might not work.
16. Get Paid for Searching the Internet
Probably one of the easiest ways to make money online is to get paid for doing (virtually) nothing – i.e. just by searching the internet.
Sites like Qmee.com will reward you for installing their add-on to your browser and then the search results are likely to display some additional paid results alongside the normal ones.
Each result you click on has a potential reward. Most of these will just be pennies but as we keep saying – these can really add up!
17. Collect Regular Dividends
We have already described above the immense potential of the stock market as the ultimate wealth-generating machine, but did you know there is a way to improve upon the already substantial returns of long-term stock investing?
Yes, by investing in stocks that pay dividends you can not only see your wealth grow over time, but receive regular payments too for doing absolutely nothing. Pretty good, right?
Investment firm Eaton Vance showed that more than 50% of the annualized returns of the S&P 500 since 1960 has come from dividends. Investing in stocks not paying a dividend returned 4.1% annualized, where as those paying a dividend returned 10.1% per annum. Translation – dividends rock.
Some of the top dividend payers pay around 5% or 6%, which blows the socks off interest rates from the bank at the moment. Plus if you hold on and see some stock growth, plus reinvest some of the dividends, a few years later those dividends can rocket and soon you can start seeing some hefty payments coming in.
You could write a whole book about dividend investing (indeed, many have), but a good place to start is Simply Safe Dividends, which has a wealth of savvy advice on the best dividend stocks.
18. Buy and Sell Goods Online
An old favourite that has been around for a long time, buying and selling goods online is known generally through sites like eBay.
Some of the best opportunities may be in buying limited editions of various things, whether it be Lego sets, Disney films or other well-known collectibles. These can increase significantly in value over time and yield a healthy profit.
Make sure you do your research first though and know the buying and selling prices of various items so you don’t lose out.
19. Do Some “Clickwork”
Another method that focuses on doing certain tasks for businesses,Clickworker.com is a site that pays you to complete large-scale jobs such as the creation of texts, data categorisation, copy editing, proof reading and web research.
Whilst some of these tasks can be a little monotonous such as data entry, there is generally not a shortage of work to be done. Payment is normally via Paypal.
20. Become Your Own Bank
With the internet has come the opportunity to participate in a whole new variety of industries, one of which is banking through what is called “peer to peer lending.”
Through sites such as Funding Circle and Zopayou can join thousands of other people who operate as lenders, providing as much funding as they choose to businesses or individuals searching for credit.
There is some risk in this as returns are not guaranteed, but this can be mitigated by spreading risk across a wide range of applicants, who are credit checked.
Returns typically average between 5% and 6%.
21. Make Youtube Videos
Online videos are now becoming almost as popular as regular internet searches and that means there is money to be made from them.
On Youtube you can set up your own channel and then advertisers can pay to feature on your channel. You receive a certain amount per 1,000 hits on one of your videos, so you do need a fair amount of interest to make money from this.
The idea is to target popular sectors like films, music, cars, TV and so on. If you can make videos that are funny, interesting, thoughtful or different then you may be able to catch people’s attention.
And of course if you happen to have a great voice then you might be the next Ellie Goulding waiting to be discovered…
22. Sell Your Old CDs, Games and DVDs
We all probably have some old CDs, games, DVDs and the like lurking around in some boxes, right?
Well rather than let them gather (even more) dust, why not give them a wipe down and put them on Amazon Marketplace or Preloved and make some extra cash from them.
There’s probably plenty of other “clutter” lying around in the garage that could be worth something. Who knows, you may even have an old antique or two that could fetch a hefty fee at auction…
23. Earn Income from Refer-a-Friend Schemes
There are so many refer-a-friend schemes in operation now that you probably have them available for a range of things you are a customer of. Gyms are a popular one with refer-a-friend schemes.
Other sites offering them include Virgin Media, Giffgaff, Sky, Next, Nationwide, Hays and American Express.
You don’t have much to lose by referring a friend to these services and if they decide to take up the offer, then you are quids in!
24. Buy and Sell Footballers
Now of course we don’t mean this literally – unless your name happens to be Kia Joorabchian of course.
No, what we mean is that you can join a site like Footstock which allows you to trade digital cards on footballers and enter them in fantasy football contests to win prizes. So if you think a player is going to do well in the fantasy contests then his value is likely to go up and you can trade the cards based on your view of which ones represent the best value.
25. Sell Your Old Phone
Most of us have at least one old phone lying around in a draw somewhere at home. There are plenty of companies that will pay for old mobile phones, and not just the newer smartphones but some of the older models as well.
Check out sites like Mazumamobile and Musicmagpie to see how much you could get for your old phone.
Now some of the old models are becoming collectors items again like the Nokia 3310, so you could do even better if you have one of those by going to sites like eBay.
26. Trade Website Domains
A domain is the address of a website and good ones can be worth quite a lot.
Gone are the days however of buying up the domain of a well-known brand like coca-cola and then demanding they pay you big bucks to purchase the domain from you, as some people did in the early days of the internet.
Firstly, all the brands and well-known names are taken now and secondly it’s not actually allowed anymore.
That doesn’t mean you can’t still find some good, interesting domain names that others could want. Most single-word domains are now gone, but two-word ones still hold promise.
You can purchase domain names cheaply at Godaddy.com, 1and1.co.uk and you can even buy and sell domains on Flippa.com, which will also give you a good idea of what various domains are worth.
27. Earn Income by Reviewing Music
We all enjoy listening to some tunes now and then, but how cool would it be to earn some income by ranking the sounds of new and up-and-coming bands?
Well you can do just that through a site called Slicethepie. The earnings may not be very significant – up to around £30 or £40 per month – but if you enjoy it then you’re getting paid for something you like doing anyway!
28. Become a Network Marketer
This one is a little more complicated and requires a bit more work, but can be quite rewarding if you get it right.
Network marketing works by you both selling products yourself and also recruiting other people to sell those products as well.
You earn commissions from the products you sell but also receive a share of commissions from those you recruit too. Some schemes will even pay you a small commission of those recruited by the people you recruit and so on.
It should be noted these are different from pyramid or Ponzi schemes, which are illegal.
Network Marketing is legitimate because you are selling a real product and so are those you are recruiting – it is just a method of creating a network of sellers.
29. Report Derelict Properties
A bit of an outsider this one but could be very profitable if you get lucky.
A website called Youspotproperty will pay you if you spot an empty or derelict property in your neighbourhood that meet their criteria.
They will give you £20 up front in Amazon Vouchers if the property fits their bill, plus 1% of the purchase price if they go on to develop it.
That could be thousands depending on the location and type of property. Indeed, apparently the highest payment so far has been over £8,000. Not bad for taking a quick snap of an old building is it!
30. Earn Cash for doing Market Research
Finally we have a website called Streetspotr that will pay you for completing simple market research tasks.
These tasks are called “location based jobs” and could be anything from checking product information at supermarkets to taking a photo of your high street.
The amount paid per job ranges between £5 and £15 generally and you will need a smart phone to carry out the tasks. If you are out and about near a high street then it will be easier to complete more of the tasks.

If you are using a respectable bookmaker such as Ladbrokes, William Hill, Bwin, Betfred or one of the many other highly rated bookmakers, there is fundamentally no chance that you are likely to be scammed. These bookmakers’ very existence is based on their good reputation and they would quickly be out of business if they were found to be scamming their clients.
But not all bookmakers fall into this category. In some countries the betting regulations are considerably less strict than in the UK. This can make it much easier for new bookmakers to enter the market and this can attract the kind of bookmaker it is generally better to avoid.
However, this is easier said than done. Today there are so many online bookmakers that it can be difficult to discover exactly who you are dealing with. Often they have attractive offers, better odds and tempting promotions that provides them with a competitive advantage over the more conventional bookmakers.
So should you avoid all of these and ignore their offers and promotions? Of course not – most of them are likely to be genuine; nobody wants to turn down a genuine bargain if it’s real. The adage of not looking a gift horse in the mouth is a real one.
We might follow this with something like “there is no such thing as a free lunch” which is also usually true, but by exercising a reasonable amount of caution there is no reason why you can’t “have your cake and eat it”.
OK, that’s it with the clichés, let’s get down to some fundamentals regarding how to spot and avoid potential bookie-related scams.
Read the small print
Always, always read the small print. For instance if a bookmaker is offering you a bonus for signing up to their website, , what are the rules regarding withdrawing the winnings you make betting with this bonus?
While most bookmakers do not allow you to withdraw your bonus winnings until you have played them through a minimum number of times, sometimes the rules are so onerous that you have a minimal chance of ever seeing a profit.
The takeaway is study the rules until you are confident you understand them (they can be written in obscure language designed to create ambiguity) and that you are happy with them. How do they compare with similar offers from other bookmakers? Do other websites and forums have anything to say about them? A little research can go a long way in keeping you safe.
Is the offer realistic?
Yes, we said that was enough clichés, but we can’t avoid “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is”. If the offer of a bonus, free bets or anything else seems unrealistically good, then beware because there is likely to be a catch somewhere. But how do you know if it really is unrealistic? Perhaps the bookmaker is making an extravagant offer to attract new customers and you don’t want to miss out. And why should you? Ultimately it is up to you, but fundamentally it is a case of caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware). But at least do some research and, as we have said, read the small print, and then read it again.
Does the bookmaker have a tarnished reputation for withdrawal delays?
Bookmakers don’t like paying you money even when you have won it and it is rightfully yours. Fortunately they have no choice; if your winnings are not subject to playthrough regulations you should be able to withdraw your winnings when you wish. While the bookmaker is likely to prefer that you kept your money in your online account, they must give you access to your own cash.
It should take no longer than a couple of working days to process your withdrawal request; at the very most is should take no longer than five. Despite this some bookmakers will attempt to hold on to your cash considerably longer while they claim that your request is “being processed”. If you are trying to withdraw a large amount of money this can be extremely frustrating and costly.
Even some otherwise reputable bookmakers are guilty of holding on to their customers’ money longer than they should. Recently a bookmaker faced legal action for refusing to allow a punter to withdraw £54,000 from her account for over two months.
The Dormant Account Scam
This is another example of paying attention to the small print. Imagine you have £10,000 in your account but you don’t feel like placing any bets at the moment. Did you know that some bookmakers will charge your account a significant amount of money if you don’t place any bets? These so-called administration fees can be as high as 5% every 28 days, so lay off betting for a couple of months and your £10,000 will have been whittled down to £9,000.
Of course you could withdraw your money, but that assumes the bookmaker will allow you to do so; see our previous comments on withdrawal delays.
Finally
Finally some takeaway advice on avoiding scams:
– Ensure that you only use bookmakers who are correctly regulated. It is easy to find out this information. It should be displayed in their “about us” page or you can check it out on the appropriate gambling authority such as the UKGC, the MGA or the GLA.
– Do some research – what do other punters on the various forums have to say about your bookmaker – while it isn’t necessarily true it is often the case that where there’s smoke there’s fire (last cliché).
– As we have said several times, ensure you acquaint yourself fully with the small print. Yes, it’s boring but it is the best way to avoid disappointment.
– Don’t accept excuses for delayed withdrawal of your money. They have no legal right to delay repaying you money that is properly yours. If you believe they are acting unfairly, report them to the appropriate gambling authority.

Football accumulators are among the most popular bets placed by punters these days. The idea of landing a big win is a tempting one if you can manage to pick a number of teams to win on a coupon.
Here we will take a look at the ins and outs of footy accumulators, including how you can absolutely crush the bookies by setting up your accas in a certain way.
In this article we will look at:
– What Football Accumulators Are
– How to use Perms
– Biggest Ever Accumulator Wins
– Acca Refund Offers
– How to Crush the Bookies Using Accas
– Best Accumulator Tips
– General Advice when placing Accumulators
With this guide, we hope to give you all the advice you need to make a success out of your footy accas.
What are Football Accumulators?
Accumulator bets are where you are backing a number of different selections all to win in the same bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together so that the odds you get are reflective of the chances of all the selections winning.
Here is an example:
– Chelsea to win at 5/4 (or 2.25 in decimal odds)
– Man Utd to win at 10/11 (or 1.91 in decimal odds)
– Arsenal to win at 5/6 (or 1.83 in decimal odds)
– Liverpool to win at 6/4 (or 2.5 in decimal odds)
So, to work out the accumulator odds, you multiply together all of the decimal odds above, i.e. 2.25 x 1.91 x 1.83 x 2.5 = 19.66.
So the odds of Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool all winning in the above example are 19.66, or just over 18/1.
In a standard accumulator, you need all selections to be successful in order to win your bet. You can generally include as many selections as you like – 5, 10, 20 or even 50!
Punters tend to love accumulators because there is the chance of a big win and it can often seem like each selection individually has a good chance of winning, so why not put them all together in one bet?
Bookies tend to love accas too, but we will go into the reason for that more a little later…
Get Yourself a Perm
One way of placing accumulators is to utilise “perms.” These aren’t curly hairstyles from the 80’s but are in fact permutations where you may want to cover several bases in case one or more teams let you down.
So you might have 7 teams who you think are going to win and want to place an acca on them.
Rather than just placing a straightforward 7-leg acca though, you could cover multiple permutations.
So you could place what is known as a “Super 7” bet as follows:-
– One 7-fold acca
– Seven 6-fold accas
– Twenty-one 5-fold accas
So that would be 29 bets in total. If one or even two of the selections don’t come in, you will still win on one of the five-fold bets. And of course if six or seven of the bets win, you will have multiple lines of successful accas and will be quids in for sure!
Biggest Ever Accumulator Wins
Some of the biggest gambling wins ever recorded have been on accumulators. You can read more about these in our article about the biggest accumulator wins, but to pick out some of the best:-
– A £223,000 win off just a £5 bet – A punter from Burnley had a 20-team accumulator which was sealed just before Christmas. Included 94th and 95th minute goals to keep things going.
– A £585,000 win from an 80p bet – A Maltese punter chanced his arm with a 19-team accumulator at odds of over 680,000/1. Sealed with a 2-1 win for Liverpool over Chelsea.
– A £650,000 win from a £100 bet – A bet consisting of one 8-fold acca and eight 7-folds, sealed by a 91st minute goal for Coventry against Leyton Orient.
Wins like this are obviously incredibly rare but go to show just what is possible with accumulators and how they changed these lucky people’s lives.
Why the Bookies Love Accas
As we mentioned above, although punters may love accumulators because of the potential for a huge win, the bookies love them too, for different reasons.
You may be wondering why this is. Well, basically the bookies have an edge over the punter of generally around 5-10%. This is called the “house edge” or “over-round” and is what enables bookies to make money and stay in business. Essentially they are offering you odds that are 5-10% worse than the true chances of your selection winning.
So on an individual bet, you have to put up with this 5-10% disadvantage, which is bad enough. But with an acca, this edge is multiplied, meaning the bookies have a massive advantage over you. This is why the bookies have so many offers based around accumulators – but more on that below.
The Bookies’ Acca Refund Offers
As we say, the bookies love punters who do lots of accumulators so to encourage more people to do accas, they have a variety of offers based on them.
The most common ones are so-called “Acca Refund” offers. These are basically offers where the bookies refund your stake on a football accumulator up to a certain amount if one leg of your acca lets you down.
So for example if you have a five-team (or five “leg”) acca and four of the teams win but one of them loses, the bookies will refund your stake as a free bet, up to a specified amount, for example £25, or even £50 in some of the more generous cases.
Some of the best offers are as follows:-
– Paddy Power – £50 refund – if one leg of your accumulator on UK and top European Football leagues lets you down, they will give you your money back as a free bet on football.
– Ladbrokes – £25 refund – Bet on a 5+ fold and get MONEY BACK as a free bet up to £25 if one team lets you down. Available on games in selected competitions.
– Jennings Bet – £50 refund – if one leg of your 5+ team acca lets you down, they will refund your stake as a free bet up to £50.
– Vernons Bet – £50 refund – if one leg of your 6+ acca doesn’t win, you will receive a free bet equal to your stake, up to a maximum of £50. (Void bets do not count – you must have 5 winners).
– William Hill – £20 refund – Place a 5+ footy acca and if one leg fails, Will Hill will give you a refund as a free bet up to £20.
So these are some of the best offers available – please see the individual bookmaker for the terms and conditions of each offer. In fact there are more than 20 bookies offering acca refunds, plus various shop refunds where you can get a similar refund from bookies’ shops.
All in all these acca refund offers can be really useful to boost your gambling winnings, but you have to know how to utilise them…
How to Crush the Bookies Using Acca Refund Offers
With all these acca refund offers at your disposal, there is a way you can utilise them to make very low-risk profits on a regular basis.
In order to do this, you need to find very close matches between the bookie odds and Betfair odds and then offset one against the other, effectively laying off your liability and locking in the free bet refund as profits.
This would be quite complicated to do yourself – in addition to trying to collate the hundreds and hundreds of potential accas to find the best value ones.
Thankfully there is a package that does this all for you. It is called Accumulator Generator and during our live trial here on the site it made an impressive £618 profit with very little risk.
The package comes with full training videos showing you the exact steps you need to take to turn the accas into very-low risk profit opportunities, plus the software that crunches through the potentially thousands of acca combos to find the best value ones that you can lay off with the exchanges.
Here is an example of the software in action:-
As you can see, it gives you the EV (estimated value) of the acca on the left in red. This is the approximate amount of profit the acca is expected to make. Then you have the time until the acca is completed, the bookie to place it with and the back and lay odds of the accumulator.
Then on the right hand column you can click on the calculator icon and it will take you through to the calculator to work out how much to lay on each leg of the acca to reduce your liability and guarantee a profit.
This is what the calculator looks like:
It looks quite complicated at first glance but is actually remarkably simple. You just need to enter the odds at the exchanges, which are generally as they are already shown on the calculator, how much commission you pay and then it will tell you how much to stake.
Once you have done a few of them, it will become much easier and be like second nature really.
The great thing is that you can make around £6-£10 per acca on average with Accumulator Generator, so if you are able to do a couple per day it will quickly add up to an extra few hundred quid per month.
Can’t say fairer than that really can we?
The Path to Affluence
The really great news though is that Accumulator Generator now comes complete with a bonus package called The Affluence System, which shows you the exact blueprint for using the software to turn a £500 bank into £5,000 and to then withdraw £840 per month profit.
Here is the bank-building plan for The Affluence System in table format:
So with Accumulator Generator you will have the tools at your disposal to absolutely crush the bookies using the Acca Refund offers and get yourself some regular low-risk profits.
Plus at the moment they are offering a very attractive 14 day trial for just £1, so you can test it out for yourself and see how good it is.
Best Accumulator Tips
Whilst using Accumulator Generator to maximise your income from accas is the best way we would recommend to profit from accas, you might be looking for some more traditional accumulator tips.
Here at Honest Betting Reviews we have tested hundreds of tipsters and betting systems to try and find the best ones out there. Quite a few of these have been accumulator-based tipsters, so here are those we would recommend:-
– Hat Trick Hero – a mixed-sports tipster focusing mainly on football, who provides a daily treble acca for you. Has made nearly 100 points profit at a strike rate of over 40%.
– Footy Doubles – in a similar vein, this tipster provides a daily double on football. Has achieved over £100 monthly average profit and a strike rate of over 45%.
– Football Acca Tips – the quintessential footy acca tipster, providing a variety of long and short-odds acca tips. Main focus is on the Premier League.
So some good options there if you are looking for some football accumulator tips.
General Advice when Placing Accumulators
Accumulators can be fun to place and hold out the possibility of either a massive win like some of those mentioned earlier on or regular steady profits if you use a tool like Accumulator Generator.
If you are going to place your own accas, it is worth bearing in mind some general advice when placing your bets:
– Accumulators tend to involve bets at high odds, so you are less likely to have regular winners than if you are placing single bets, all else being equal. So make sure you use a big enough bank to take this into account.
– Be sure that each selection in your acca represents good value. Remember, the bookies have an edge over you in general, so turning this around to your advantage is tough. Finding four or five selections you believe the bookies have got the odds wrong on in one go is rare – although not impossible.
– Only risk what you can afford to lose. This is the golden rule of betting and refers to all wagering, not just betting on accas. But because accas can be tougher to win, you can burn through cash quite quickly, so make sure you are not betting beyond your means.
– Place the acca and then let it run – don’t watch each leg unfold separately. It can be excruciating to watch them on TV or a live score website, particularly if the first few legs come in and then the last one lets you down. It will only make you mad and likely to go chasing losses. Just place the acca and then come back later to see if it has won.
– Spread your bets around the bookies and don’t overdo it – this applies particularly if you are using Accumulator Generator. If the bookies sense you are milking their offers, they are likely to shut down your accounts. Mix around your wagers as much as possible.
Follow this guidance and it should help you to achieve greater success in your footy accas.
Conclusion – Football Accumulators
Football Accumulators are one of the most popular forms of betting for punters. The thrill of landing a potentially massive win is enticing and draws many bettors in.
You should be aware though that footy accas are generally poor value for the punter, which is why the bookies tend to love them.
By using their Acca Refund offers though, you can turn the tables on the bookies and make yourself a lucrative tax-free second income if you use a product like Accumulator Generator.
If you are going to place some of your own footy accas, please gamble responsibly and only risk what you can afford to lose.
We hope you have found this guide to football accumulators helpful and good luck!

Betway was launched in 2006 with the aim of becoming a market leader in first-class online entertainment for consumers who want to experience sports betting, online casino games, and other games like bingo all on the same platform. Since then, the company has earned a9/10 review from Trustpilotand has firmly established itself as a market leader in the world of online betting whilst building up a comprehensive suite of other iGaming options. The brand has branched out into other technologies, including live casino, and has been at the forefront of one of the upcoming elements of the betting world: eSports.
The brand has been pro-active in pushing itself into the public consciousness, whether through its sponsorship of the ESL Pro League in eSports, or as proud sponsor of former Bundesliga champions Werder Bremen.
Betway may have done well at getting their name out there, but the real question is, of course, whether or not they still offer a broad enough (and good enough) range of games, betting odds, and welcome bonuses to keep consumers loyal. In this review, we’re going to focus onBetway Casino, but will also look at their eSports betting offerings.
Live Casino: A Strong Offering
Live casino is an extremely popular offering from the top online casinos in 2017. This, in part, has helped Playtech, one of the leading gaming software suppliers, to achieve a revenue total of $497.4m during the first half of 2017, a feat in part helped by the launch of the world’s largest live casino studio in Latvia.
Betway offers nine live casino games including the high-definition, immersive Betway Lounge, focusing on traditional favourites such as blackjack and roulette, as well as new, more unusual games like Dream Catcher, offering gamers plenty of choice. The graphics are strong, and the feeling of having your own private table lends the experience an authentic feel. For those who want to experience a land-based casino without leaving their house, this is a great option.
Pick Up and Play: Retro the Name of the Game
For those not tempted by live casino titles, Betway’s range of pick- up-and-play slot games just might. With slot games from recent movies like Jurassic World (with Universal still licensing their products for slots, unlike Marvel and Star Wars, who Disney decided shouldn’t anymore), and games with a retro feel to them from movies like Oceans 7 and Legacy, the Betway slots suite is extensive. Betway’s slots are designed by the folks at Microgaming, so you know that the quality is going to be spot on.
Like many of the leading online iGaming operators, Betway casino allows players to get a feel for the slot games on offer by playing for free. This means that you can feel confident you’ll enjoy the theme, can figure out the wilds and scatters and the other mechanics, and have full knowledge of the jackpots before putting your cash into the game.
eSports: Betting on a Big Outcome
Betway has also joined the likes of PlayStation and the BBC in supporting eSports. They have a dedicated page on their website allowing customers to place a wager on the outcome of professional gamers competing against one another.
With ESPN carrying an eSports section on their website, talk of eSports being a part of the Olympics in 2024, and revenue of $696 million in 2017, it seems like Betway know what they are getting into by trying to capitalise on this sector of gaming. Betway have a wide range of competitions available for bets to be placed on, including League of Legends and CS:GO, and this does seem to be one area where Betway have edged ahead of their rivals.
What About the Classics?
eSports, retro slots, and live casino games are all well and good, but there’s no denying the fact that a lot of gamers are simply looking to emulate greats like Stanford Wong and Tony Bloom, or simply trying to make the most of the latest horseracingsystems they have discovered here at Honest Betting Reviews or elsewhere. In this very modern-looking website, are those with classic tastes still catered for?
With poker, blackjack, roulette, and other traditional casino games offered by Betway, and horseracing, football, cricket, golf (and many other live sports) all available to bet on, the answer is, resoundingly, yes. In fact, as of the 28th of August 2017, there were welcome offers of up to £750 for people looking to set up new poker accounts. How’s that for a bonus!
Indeed, with bingo now seen as being bigger in terms of player numbers than the UK’s beloved sport of tennis, even this classic has its own dedicated page, meaning that Betway does provide a one stop shop for pretty much everything except maybe those looking to bet with Bitcoin. For the vast majority of gamers, this site is one that should meet most requirements!
Once spoken of in the same breath as stars such as Maradona and George Best, Sonny Pike was an young English footballer who had a prodigious talent at a very early age. By the time he was 14, he could be seen in adverts and had made numerous appearances on television. His story is a cautionary tale, however, for anyone who wants to hit the big time and the pressure that involves.
Born in 1984, Pike’s love of football was obvious from the start. By the age of 12, he had, already appeared on Baddiel and Skinner’s Fantasy Football League Show, the image of a fresh faced kid with designs on playing for some of the biggest clubs in the world. Twenty years later, at the age of 32, Pike is driving a taxi around the East End and professes to not having kicked a football for over a decade.
So what went wrong?
His football career began at Hackney Marshes and he was certainly a prodigious talent, scoring nearly 300 hundred goals in his first three seasons. His career in real terms began at the age of 12 when he was invited to play in a tournament for the best young players in East Anglia. Influenced by top stars like Dennis Bergkamp, Pike only saw himself as a goal scorer and, even at that age, he was pretty good at it.
That tournament was attended by plenty of scouts and it wasn’t a surprise when the Ajax Academy invited Sonny Pike for a two week trial. It was following this that his fame began to spread unusually quickly. The ex-footballer still has a tape of all his television appearances during this time. Everyone from the BBC to Channel 4 were interested in talking to him and sponsors such as Coca-Cola and McDonald’s wanted to sign him up for ads. All the publicity culminated in Sonny winning the Sky Sports’ Champion of the Year Award which was presented by none other than Ian Wright.
By his side at this time was his father Mickey who seemed naturally protective as well as proud of his son. Ajax invited Sonny out to the Netherlands to play a few games which he admits was fun at the time. But the club wanted him to move there full-time and that was something he could never seriously consider, especially at the age of 13 or 14.
Instead, Sonny Pike went to Leyton Orient, a lesser club but closer to home. Unknown to Sonny, his father and a journalist were working together on a documentary which would prove to be the start of the end of the line for the talented young footballer. Although he was signed at Orient, his father got him to pay a visit to Chelsea that was filmed by a documentary crew. The film, Coaching and Poaching, organised by then FA Chairman Greg Dyke, would air on Channel 4 and cause considerable problems.
Sonny found himself the subject of an FA inquiry that led to him being banned for a year. That he blames his father for this is undeniable – there had always been friction between his mother and estranged father about the merits of pushing Sonny towards a career at the top level of football. On his return to the game, Sonny began having trials again but things were working against him. He was easily recognisable and came in for a substantial amount of abuse, even choosing at one point to clip his long hair to make himself look different.
It was when he went for a trial at Grimsby that things began to unravel. He couldn’t concentrate and decided to pack up after just a couple of days. It was only a matter of time until he decided to quit altogether. He dropped off the map and a good few urban myths developed about what had happened to Sonny Pike.
In the end, he settled down to a normal life. He hadn’t come away with any great financial benefit from all the TV appearances and notoriety. Instead, he started to train as a carpenter. When his daughter was born, he decided to take the Knowledge, the test for London cabbies. He now drives a cab most days a week.
Sonny’s cut from football was dramatic. He professes to not watching the game much at all nowadays except maybe for internationals. He’s far more interested in boxing. That’s a big change from the fanatical kid who had high hopes of playing for teams such as Ajax and Chelsea. For many, his story is seen as one of football’s biggest problem, the way that it can push pressure onto young players and use them as a commodity rather than treating them as people.
For Sonny, there has been a happy ending – he loves his kids and family and is content with his job as a taxi driver and doesn’t miss football or the fame. For other kids attracted to the top flight, things might not work out so well.
Back in May we completed a four month trial of a horse racing tipping service called theElite Betting Syndicateand gave it a strong PASSED rating based on the 60 points profit it made during our trial.
Well here at Honest Betting Reviews we don’t like to just do a three month trial of a service and then forget about it – we like to continue monitoring results over the long run to see if they hold up.
So have the results of the Elite Betting Syndicate held up since our original review finished back in May?
We are pleased to say they certainly have, racking up yet more very impressive profits.
Here are the monthly totals since May:
May: +29 POINTS PROFIT
June: +30 POINTS PROFIT
July: +17 POINTS PROFIT
August (to date): +32 POINTS PROFIT
So that means since we started proofing the tips at the beginning of the year the service has made 170 points profit – fantastic stuff.
That would be £17,000 profit if you had bet to their recommended £100 stakes, or £4,250 profit if you bet to just £25 stakes.
Here is their profit graph since starting up – pretty much exactly what we like to see, just steady movement upwards!
And their staking is all to 1 point level stakes, with an average of just three bets per day – so a very manageable service to follow.
We have to say we really love this service and it is one of the few we follow with our own money.
It is proving to be one of the best horse racing tipsters we have ever come across.
They send tips out in the evening before racing and you need to get your bets on as soon as possible, preferably that same evening as prices tend to get hit in quite significantly by the next day.
Even at Betfair SP a good profit has still been made though, so there isn’t much not to like about this service.
Ladbrokes offer a wide range of football coupons where they welcome you to make specific types of bets on multiple teams. The games are pre-selected by Ladbrokes. One of the more popular of these coupons is Goal Crazy. Essentially this provides the opportunity to place multiple bets and accumulators on whether or not both teams will score.
The coupon lists the games selected by Ladbrokes in the left hand column and includes useful information such as when the match is scheduled to be played and time of kick off. The next two columns are simply headed Yes and No, with the coupon header being “Will Both Teams Score?”, so it is clear what you are betting on. The coupon includes around 80 different matches from various UK other national leagues listed alphabetically so it’s easy to find any particular match.
The odds are given in each tick box in each column. For instance the odds in the Yes box might be 5/4 and the odds in the No box might be 8/13. It is up to you to consider whether either of these is a good bet, and tick the appropriate box. If you change your mind, then simply click on the box again and the selection will be removed. Your selected bet is shown in the far right hand column where you can add your stake and click a box to indicate whether or not you want to include the selection in the multiples option.
You can select as many bets as you wish and as you do so you will see the various multiple bet options that are available to you in the far right hand column assuming that you have ticked the various “include in multiples” boxes. So, if you have made two selections, your multiples option will offer you the chance to make a doubles bet along with the odds offered on that bet. Similarly, if you make three selections you will be offered doubles x 3; trebles x 1; Trixie x 4; and a patent x 7. As you further increase your selections you will see accumulator options such as Heinz x 57, lucky 63, goliath x 247 and so forth.
Betting on Goal Crazy is very different from betting on which team will win. You simply have to consider whether or not you think both teams will score at least one goal of whether they won’t. If you bet No and one team scores but the other doesn’t, then you will still win your bet. But if you bet Yes, then with the same result you will lose the bet. Clearly your selections should be based on previous form in terms of goal scoring ability.
What is really fun with the Goal crazy coupon is the chance to play around easily with a wide range of accumulators. While all the standard accumulators are included, it is easy to bet on many of the more sophisticated options like those already mentioned. As each accumulator is described on the coupon you can see exactly what you are betting on. For instance if you make eight selections you will be given the chance to bet on a Goliath which is described as 28 doubles, 56 trebles, 70 fourfolds, 56 fivefolds, 28 sixfolds, 8 sevenfolds and an eightfold accumulator.
Ladbrokes Goal Crazy is an easy and fun way to bet. It is intuitive and you will never lose track of exactly what you are doing. The chance to easily select multiples really enhances the entertainment while giving you rapid access to potentially lucrative bets. Just be careful not to bet more than you can afford, it can get a little tempting to do so.
