Matched Betting ?

[David Black]

Has anybody ever done any matched betting before?

I have just started doing this and made myself a nice bit of money to go to my holiday spendo and I am thinking of taking this up a level as I am very much an amateur at this game.

If anybody hasn't heard of this and wondering what the hell I am wittering on about lol. Basically you use bookmakers signup offers and free bets to make risk-free profits, I'm up to just over £700 after a two weeks of it.

It's not even gambling I don't think as you can't lose.

I started doing some after work and even found it quite relaxing. started with the smaller offers of like £10, £25 then soon was doing the £200 signups. you steadily build up a profit.

I started using a site that you had to pay for but soon found that you can get all the info you need from the google machine and there's some decent blogs out there with all the instructions and know how.

This is a good one I found recently that talks you through what to do.

Anyway was just hoping someone else has done this as well. What sites do you use? Any tips and knowledge to share to take this further would be super!

I've heard about it, but never actually tried it myself.

I can remember when I was skint as a student once I used those sign up offers (taking my stake out when I'd played through it) and made myself a few hundred quid which helped pay buy me food and beer, although I think that was before somebody created the name "matched betting" and it became a proper thing!

Aye it's definitely worth doing. you're not actually gambling on anything you just 'match' the bets on Betfair and win or lose you take out the profits. like printing money! haha

Definitely worth doing for an extra £300 - £500 a month tax free. Check out Yesbets, I use them and means no spreadsheets, as they keep track of everyhting. Easy grand to make in your first month.

Well I got back two weeks ago from travelling and quite a lot of it was paid for by doing this!
