Smarkets against option, what does it actually mean?

I'm new to smarkets and i kinda struggle to understand the against option (or the blue option) it would seem pretty straightforward - you bet against the outcome but theres defo something im missing regarding stake/return im presuming because the odds doesn't even make the slighest bit of sense as you can see in the picture below. Is the 18,49kr liability/reponsibility what im actually putting down for a return of 19,49?

Can you add extra money to free bet?

So I've been wondering?

Can you add extra money of your own to the free bet to get bigger payout.

Example £5 free bet plus £10 own money with lay that matches.

Also how do you lay this?

Do you separately lay the free bet amount then lay the own amount or can they go as one lay.

Any idea why I got sent this

Arrowbet

Watch out with these; they conveniently voided all their boosted odds 10mins before kick off last night citing palpable error on all of them. Many of us didn’t receive an email / app notification etc and it’s left some people £1000s out of pocket.

Built an automated arb / surebet scanner — free alerts via Telegram for a small group

I've built a back-lay arbitrage and back-back surebet scanner that runs automatically and pushes alerts straight to Telegram whenever it finds a genuine arbitrage opportunity across UK bookmakers.

It scans all available sports every couple of hours, filters out in-play events, ignores books with dodgy pricing, and only fires an alert if the margin is above 2% — so no noise, just actionable opportunities.

Recent finds include:

• +31% — Daniel Merida Aguilar v Daniil Medvedev (Wimbledon)

• +16% — Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh (Cricket)

• +12% — Switzerland vs Algeria (FIFA World Cup)

I'm opening it up to a small group for free while I stress-test the data quality. No catch — just looking for feedback from people who actually know what they're doing.

DM me if you want in.

Advice for getting back into match betting after nearly two years?

Hi! So I had a break from match betting for the last few years and wanted some advice on a few things. I used Outplayed at the time so just signed back to their free trial again but noticed there are numerous tiers now and reloads seem to be blocked behind them. It's saying it's gonna charge £29.99 by the end of the trial which is roughly the amount I was paying at the time. But, doesn't really say what's included in that. But, it has the Platinum tier that's got most of the tools I used at the time for £50 which to me doesn't seem worth it at all. Are there any other sites I could use to retrain myself and find the reload offers easier that are cheaper? Any help will be appreciated!

Been lurking here a while, finally decided to sign up and ask something

Bit of a lurker on here normally but thought I'd finally make an account and ask this properly. Been using William Hill for a while now and honestly no complaints, interface is decent and it does what it says on the tin.

Lately though I keep getting ads popping up for sites that aren't regulated, not gonna name them here, but the sign up offers look proper tempting. Has anyone actually looked into whether these unregulated ones are legit or is it just asking for trouble down the line
