📚 Bonus Hunting Strategy Guide
Understanding Bonus Types
- Free Bet: Stake is NOT returned. Profit = (Stake × Odds) - Stake. Typical value: 70-80% of face value.
- Cash Bonus: Full stake is returned. Profit = (Stake × Odds). Better value but often has wagering requirements.
Optimal Odds for Free Bet Conversion
- 2.00 - 3.00 odds: Best balance between value retention and win probability
- Below 2.00: Lower value conversion (~60-70%)
- Above 4.00: Higher theoretical value but lower win rate
- Sweet spot: 2.50 odds = ~80% value retention for free bets
When to Use Hedge Strategy
- Large free bets (€50+): Lock in guaranteed profit by betting both outcomes
- High-value promotions: When bonus value justifies the effort
- Risk-free approach: Sacrifice some value for certainty
- Expected return: Typically 70-85% of free bet amount as guaranteed profit
Risk Management Tips
- Max Bet Limits: Always check bookmaker restrictions before placing bets
- Market Liquidity: Ensure sufficient liquidity on both sides for hedge bets
- Odds Movement: Place hedge bets quickly to avoid odds changes
- Account Limits: Avoid patterns that trigger gubbing (account restrictions)
- Bankroll Management: Never risk more than 5% of bankroll on a single bonus
