    Don't know Benjy23.

    I've done 2 in a row and had no problems.

    Yesterday I did a dob on Croke Park and then used their weekend 20pc boost on the same horse.

    It got passed to a trader but was approved.

    They are trigger happy on the trader referrals but so far I've found if you tread a bit carefully you end up getting what you want. Hasten to add I'm no way a big hitter.

    Found it's a useful way to top up on bets where the price has contracted.

    For small time punters I'd say it's certainly worth a look.

    The 20 per cent boost they offer on saturdays and sundays has a max of 20.

      do they still honour the double odds even tho the bets won't be settled until after the promotion period has ended if using them for cheltenham?

        Assume so - it's worth going on the site and reading the terms and conditions.

        My take is that it says you can place the bet on any sports market and the maximum winnings must not exceed a grand. I take that to mean for each individual bet.

        But as all my dobs with them have been on the Festival I have yet to test the water. But surely it will be ok.

          The maximum winnings not exceeding a grand isn't each individual bet how I read it. It's cumulative on this event of the double boosts for the month. They appeared to attempt to define the event in that term... But since putting the bet on I can't view the terms anymore? If someone posts them I'll take a second look.

          I'm planning on racking up a ton on Galopin for the Gold Cup at 11/2. Inventive

            I was just flicking through the markets looking for my double boost victim and saw Hills have 17 horses at 16/1 or less for the BANC, some significantly less. They really are taking the Micky out of punters.

                  Foudn it .... in massive letters jumping out at me



                  Now I need to think about what to do with it

                  I always remember speaking to Istabraq about the fiver free bets you get from Sky and my plan was to stockpile them in to a really significant bet/return on something I actually fancied rather than speculative bets on stuff I didn't really fancy .... thought being if I didn't want to put my own money on, then it's a waste of a bet




                  So, what horse do I use this daily double odds on! That is the key question

                  I have 21 bets, at a fiver a pop, so 105 quid to put on 'something'

                  Instead of 21 scatter gun fivers

                    Tiny thing but you know you can change it to a 6 pound horse racing free bet?

                      I didn't

                      I have also seen though you can do 5 ew and it lets you have 10 on rather than 5 at the double odds


                      ****EDIT***** this is nonsense, you can't - it (correctly) changes you to 2.50 e/w



                      Anyway, 11/1 Fastorslow - going for the dullard approach of plugging a gap. Another 9 on him to go

                        Is that the double odds one. I wasn’t sure if you did that whether the place part is at standard place odds or double as well

                        with sky go into promotions and sky club or whatever it’s called and you will see it auto selects 5 free bet. If you scroll one over it gives you the option of selecting 6 pound exclusive to horse racing

                        • But you have to reselect every week as it defaults back to the generic 5

                            Ah yeah, I did know that on Sky

                            Despite me waffling about Sky I just meant as a theory that's what I did.... I used to be able to get 20 in free bets a week so it really racked up, but now with 5 I am less enthused





                            BetMGM I'm thinking Fastorslow at 11/1 as it's a glaring ommision for me.... but just weighing it all up. Thought about 28/1 Love Envoi as well .... might do that tonight just to leave me with 20 to go to war with...

                              I don't know about betMGM but with Hills, only the win part of the e/w bet is double odds.

                                I went for Firefox today to top up a little bit. My long term victims are Stage Star (7/2) and Gaelic Warrior (5/2) as they are both reasonably priced anyway so it feels like I’m getting good value for my boost.

                                I actually quite like the app. Better than some established bookies.
