And even if you are picking a binary outcome bet – say, over or under a certain number of points on a baseball game – then the odds are exactly even on both sides. You lose one side of the bet, you win on the other, so effectively, you haven’t actually made anything, just won your stake back?
Yes if you play with your own money you will loose a little if you bet on both outcomes, however, this is taking advantage of the free bets offered.
I have never done this myself but I think a good example would be:
Free £50 with £50 deposit.
I do this with two accounts.
Let there be a football game with only two outcomes, X and Y,
Eg P(X) = 0.5 yield = slightly less than (bet x 1/0.5 = bet x 2 ) <- I put £100 on it, £50 of mine, £50 free.
Vice versa for Y with my other account.
In either event I will gain £50 (and if one of the events has a low probability, if that outcome occurs you will gain more than £50)
However I belive that they have counterd matched bettering by requiring “rolling wins” so you need to keep playing and you cant just withdraw after your first win.
Also I wouldnt touch “fixtheodds” with a bargepole. You can do this solo, and the idea of a website telling many people how to bet sounds a breeding ground for scams and all sorts of nasty shinanigans.
