📚 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
