Extra Places Betting Strategy

[@matthewclough3520]

Interesting video: Can you confirm that this strategy is based on selecting only one horse per race, as opposed to covering a few? If so, would this still be the case if the bookies were paying 2 additional places for example.

[@colinboon6612]

Hi, thank you for this great video, it's very helpful. I do have a question though, what should I do when the bookies are paying out on four places, but the exchange also offers an option between 3 and 4 places? Should I lay on 3 or 4 places?

[@SandwichMan.]

You probably already found the answer by now but I'll post it here in case others have the same question. I believe you want to lay up to 3 places, because that will mean if the horse places 4th then you get paid at both the bookie and the exchange simultaneously for a big profit.

Looking at this hit rate, would it be a better outcome without laying the place? I mean normally I only back&lay the same number of horses as the EP's we get at the race. Which is normally +1 or +2 horses, or +3 at a big event. Without laying the place bet, I would have a bigger qualifying loss - but then there's more chance of the horse(s) landing in *any* of the places paid, not just the extra place, making the bets a winner probably much more often.

Hi, over how many days did it take you to do the 233 EPs?

[@andrewharrispiano]

At least 3 weeks. I'd say over a month considering not all races will give suitable odds.

Hi mate, great vid! Do you provide a spreadsheet with all the data from your extra place bets as part of the Patreon membership?

[@makeithappen109]

This strategy also looses money if the horse doesn't finish 4th or 5th. So whats the difference between betting on your horse to finish 1st or betting on the horse to finish 4th? 33 losses and 1 win? You might as well back a small stake on 34 different horses to win with high odds and get the same result outcome at the end.

Have you got a link to a spread sheet you use to track your EP’s please

[@ProfitPineapple]

I have uploaded a profit tracker that I use to keep up to date with matched betting on my Patreon page

[@Troll-nu4xd]

Hi mate, do all bookies eventually reduce you to £0 bets, reason for asking is I want to know if this is just a short term strategy or not. My family and friends won’t let e make accounts in their names so that’s not an option

[@ProfitPineapple]

Eventually that will happen mate as the bookies arent looking to accommodate value takers and long-term winners

[@petermcmurray6925]

Very interesting and thanks for sharing this... I suppose another way of looking at it, was an average profit of just over £3 per race, but a profit is a profit as you said...do you prefer eps or 2ups?

[@ProfitPineapple]

Very true! Both strategies are a great way of making a profit, personally I dont really have a preference. I would say the 2up offer is an easier strategy to partake in however, as you only have 2 bets to place as opposed to 3 with the EP strategy

[@Cowelly84]

i always go for highest implied odds. 15+

[@temp911Luke]

And you are not restricted by bookies after so many bets? Didnt even took a month for Bet £3.65 to restrict me :D

[@ProfitPineapple]

I have been gubbed on many accounts in the past and I still do get restricted from time to time by the bookies, however I didn't get any restrictions going through this process

[@tonionekenpbi]

Hate smarkets how they only partially match most stakes . Really unclear .
