Day 2: The Bonus Bagging Trial Continues..

Day 2 of my Bonus Bagging trial begins with a look at my bet from yesterday.

There were goals in the match between Anzhi Makhachkala and Lokomotiv. My PaddyPower bet therefore won and my Betfair lay lost.

PaddyPower Balance: £21
Betfair Balance: £63.64
Profit Total: -£0.36

Carrying over from placing my £10 qualifying bet at PaddyPower, they have awarded me the £20 bonus.

Time to turn it into profit! I log back into Bonus Bagging and hit ‘Claim Free Bet’.

 

The bonus bagging trial continues: claiming a free bet.

I’m then emailed instructions to place my free bet.

 

Through the link provided, off I trot back to the PaddyPower web site to duly place my free bet.

I select and stake my £20 free bet on the Draw at 3.60 as instructed.

Laying a bet at Betfair

I lay £14.05 on the draw at 3.75 as per the email.

 

Finished! This bet will not settle until the match is played on Thursday, but in covering all outcomes I know that regardless of whether Hoffenheim and Kaiserslautern draw or not, I will have made £14.05. 

 

Profit Total: -£0.36 + £14.05 = £13.69

 

Let’s keep going. I request a new bet from the bonus bagging service and receive a new email:

 

Bonus Bagging Service email for Tuesday

This one’s a beauty: a no deposit bonus!


The email is a no-deposit offer from Skybet. After signing up they will give me a completely free £10. I placed it as per the email on the draw between Sarpsborg and Valerenga at odds of 3.25. I can then head back to the email and click the link to lay the bet off:

 

Laying a bet at Betfair for my Bonus Bagging trial.

As per the email I lay £6.34 at odds of 3.6 on the draw. This creates a liability of £16.48.

 

This match finishes tonight but the result doesn’t matter. I already know I have profited £6.34.

Profit Total: £13.69 + £6.34 = £20.03

Day 2 of my bonus bagging trial concludes and between the two days I’ve made £20 for about 20 minutes work total. That’s about £1/minute. Not bad!

    Hi Chris
    I have read your review but I can’t see how you made money on the bet fair site of £14.05.
    When it cost you £14.05 to place the bet
    All what has happened is you have got your money back
    Can you explain this

    Regards
    David

      Hi David.

      You have to consider that on this occasion I am betting with the £20 PaddyPower bonus money and not my own!

      All I am basically doing is cycling the money through a bet in order to be allowed to withdraw it.

      So yes you’re right that it look like I’m placing £14.05 to get it straight back again. But essentially this is money I didn’t have access to before!

      I hope that makes sense?
