Using this to get free bets before the match. Does everyone let it run, or hedge the £2-£3 profit that will mount up? Does it matter in the long run?

Had 3 or 4 £9.50 wins on £50 scalps, which is nice but... have got myself into good positions with free bets which haven't worked out (like Unirea Urziceni scoring first last night knocking my free 0-2 and 0-3 bets out).

Great when they come off, feels like hard work wasted when they don't. What's everybodies opinions for the most profitable scenario, hedge or let it run?

I find that while I am building, my bank and still learning. I am happy to accept to accept the £2-3 wins into my bank. May be when I am a bit more consistent and confident I may let them ride and hedge them as the goals go in. Hope this helps.

what is this method?

I leave my free bets to run however recently they haven't paid off. I too was on the liverpool game too and my 0-3 bet went down the pan after Urirea scored. I was also on the liverpool v blackburn game on sunday, i had a free bet on 3-0 and could have greened up for £14 at 1-0, i decided to let it run and the blackburn equaliser scrapped that plan.. I might have hedged at 2-0 had it happened however. I suppose its just a matter opinion at the end of the day, it is however a free bet and i know sometimes it can be hard work getting to that point but like i say i like to leave mine run. Nothing lost if it goes tits up!

Personally prefer to get in and out before the game starts. Put the bet on in advance, nick a tick or 3 and use that in conjuction with other scores or other markets.
