There are many online betting sites on the web: ZETurf, GenyBet, PMU.fr, etc. Betting on the results of sporting events, with the risk of losing your bet, is clearly not my cup of tea. Even less when it comes to horse betting, an area in which I had, and I have, no knowledge and no particular attraction. That’s why I’ve never been more interested than that in this kind of sites, but I recently had the opportunity to discover some aspects that caught my attention. The approach, without pun intended, was interesting and rewarding. Now let’s find out how I won several hundred euros through a few online betting sites.
Cashback, what is it? To sum up, it is a practice which consists of paying you a percentage of the amount of your purchases , through certain websites, or even a fixed sum in certain cases. Everyone wins: the seller, who attracts more customers with this offer, the cashback site, who is remunerated for connecting the buyer and the seller, and of course, the buyer, who indirectly recovers part of the euros he has just spent.
Well know that this system exists on some online betting sites: so before you register, go around the main cashback sites to see which one has the most interesting offer. For my part, I benefited from €55 in caskback from Wajestic, Madame from €40 from iGraal and another €25 thanks to Poulpeo (where, however, I had some difficulty recovering my bonus, but let’s move on…). Note that seasonal increases in cashback appear regularly (end of year celebrations, winter holidays, etc.).
As with online banks, a subject covered in the article How I won €1,300 net of tax, online betting sites try, with success for me, to attract new customers on a regular basis. And their method is the same, namely to offer new registrants welcome bonuses . With one difference all the same, and which is important: the bonuses paid cannot be recovered directly, and it is mandatory to bet them on the betting site.
But this allows you to easily have an interesting nest egg that you can then bet: almost all the sites offer you the option of doubling your initial deposit. To this is often added various bonuses: €10 or more for the definitive opening of the account, part of your losing bets reimbursed, one-off events on the site… In short, for a relatively small amount invested, barely a few tens of euros, you can simply, through these welcome offers, take advantage of 2 to 4 times the amount deposited to make your bets.
I could also have titled this paragraph “Minimize your risk of loss”, insofar as I am not going to reveal a secret technique to you that will make you win every time! Brief. To maximize your chances of winning, the first thing to know is the same as in real estate: use other people’s money ! In other words, take advantage of welcome bonuses and other offers, and do not bet your own money, except that necessary to open your access to these online betting sites. Then, I apply a relatively simple method, which can be summarized as follows:
With this method, from my short experience, I manage today to recover between 70% and 120% of my stakes. And since these bets are actually the bonuses paid, the winnings go straight into my pocket!
For my part, even if I will come back to this in a future article on the follow-up of my 2014 objectives, the results are already very positive. So far, I have invested €45 out of my pocket: €15 on GenyBet for myself, €15 on this same site for Madame and €15 on ZETurf. By pooling the use of the 3 points specified in the previous paragraphs, namely cashback, welcome bonus and maximizing my chances of winning , I have to date received more than €205 net of tax:
Small visual summary in the form of a table, still as of today, on my earnings on online betting sites:
Enough to help me achieve one of my goals for the year, to earn €1,000 in various bonuses. And I haven’t gone to the end of the process yet: I still have part of the welcome bonuses to play, which will allow me to further improve, I hope, the profitability of this good plan. And there are other online betting sites, and more such opportunities will arise throughout the year. Beware of addiction though! 😉
On your side, are you interested in this type of good plan? Have you ever had the opportunity to play, and win, on online betting sites?
