Sports Betting Bonuses FAQ thread

[Winnergambling]

In this thread you can ask anything about Sportsbook Bonuses / Matched Betting, if instructions on the site leave you to question something.

The Best Sports Betting Bonuses list (first version) will be added later today. You can already start reading instructions and asking questions if you like.

Best Sports Betting Bonuses list has been added. It is still missing a few bonuses we already know (and table definitions), but we update it in next 24 hours.

You can contribute by posting new/changed bonuses to Sports Betting Bonus Updates thread, thanks!

[Winnergambling]

Added more bonuses to the list. Also definitions added.

If you know more bonuses, PM me or post into this thread, thanks! We are adding more bonuses when we have time to go through more sportsbooks.

I don`t quite understand Mybet 50€ bonus terms. List says it is 10xB but I understand it would be 7xB?

Also, how do you calculate the EV? Why is it for example 40€ in this case? Doesn`t it just depend on how good a lay bet/(or bet on some other site) you find?

Yes it depends. That EV is very rough estimate if you find "usual" lay odds.

I'm trying to complete the Gamebrookers sports betting bonus, and I can't fathom matched betting. I get the idea, but how do I work out the odds. Fortunately the calculator is there, but I don't know what the Stake Forfeit means and so I can't work anything out!

Anyone else understand this?

...but I don't know what the Stake Forfeit means and so I can't work anything out!

You don't have to care about stake forfeit in gamebookers bonus. It only applies to free bet bonuses that do not return original stake (marked as SNR in the best sportsbetting bonuses list). In those you have to put the amount of free bet to the "stake forfeit" box into the calculator. In cashable bonuses like gamebookers bonus just leave the stake forfeit number as zero.

Cheers, that all makes sense now.
