Anyone here involved in matched betting?

spindoctor · #1 03-24-2016

Been looking it for ages and never took the step to jump into it. I know you an make some good money through it. Some say it's not long term, some say it can be long term (if you bend the rules).

So anyone involved in matched betting?

Used to do it

There are a few threads here from about a year or so ago discussing it

I looked into a few years back.

My best friend was told about it by a work colleague whose partner basically earned a living from it. If you have a big enough sum to "invest", you can easily make a few grand a month for doing pretty much nothing. It is just the time it takes to sift through all the various bets to find the right bet / laybet to give you a decent no-lose return.

Using US betting sites you can make a decent living from match betting. In the UK it would be harder though since the offers are not as large

Arbitrage betting can give you a pretty decent daily income though, but it does take time to find the right bets to lay and back

I've read a lot of information about it. Been thinking might as well make it as a side project for a bit of holiday or bill money.

Problem is, having all these projects but not enough time in the day to do everything.

Bet365 was always very good

They had a very good intro offer that you can net £200 off and then daily offers that you can make an extra £40 a day off which is pretty handy

On the weekend you can then make another £100 to £400 depending how well you do. Makes for a tidy little bit of extra income

Just have to be careful and attentive. You need approx £600/£700 spare or so to make the most out of it

Yes i know there is plenty of offers. And a bank balance to start if off is needed.

I think i need that kick up the back side, to tip me over the edge and start getting on it. but... i'll do more investigating, before i'll jump in.

MSE have a very good sub forum section about it

I use:
https://www.yesbets.co.uk

you can track your bets with that one so don't need a spreadsheet or anything. And yeah its decent but you'll get all your accounts banned sooner or later

sounds fun...

why do you get banned?

I am always taking extra classes out of interest/curiousity...so if anyone knows good classes for MB let me know?! or do you just read online?

JamesNorth101 · #16 03-24-2016

Betting websites ban accounts that make too much profit, or accounts that look like they could turn a profit in the long term

Matched betting is something you read online. Pretty easy to get the basics of reall

oompaloompa · #17 03-24-2016

do they close you down and hold your money?
what do they call a profit eg amounts/percentages?

JamesNorth101 · #18 03-24-2016

Its very rare for them to keep money. That only happens in cases of fraud

They just give you your money (something they will ask for ID) and then close the account down saying its a business decision

As for what they call profit, well that will differ from company to company

spindoctor · #19 03-24-2016

And looking more into it, betting companies don't like you abusing offers and bonuses they dish out.

I know a good forum, i've been following for quite some time, just never dived into it as of yet.

yes same here, and also there is not much info out there about stealthing it...so no guidance on it.

I mean for me a small side-line is say eg. a funding circle portfolio, for doing nothing that makes me 5k a year and the bonus is I understand it! Not sure this is for me, alot easier things out there if you have bigger outlay money. Maybe good for someone that wants to grow £50 in to £1000, but that isnt worth my time.....but then again, I will keep my eye on info on it, out of curiousity......

easy.bake.oven · #21 03-24-2016

I match bet, its well good and good easy money - not a get rich fast, just a decent bit of pocket money for free.

You will get banned and its hard to go stealth with the bookies.
Can always match bet for a mate and take a big cut etc.

ProfitAccumulator website is the one to go for but it costs to join but highly professional.

Only your knowladge and a bit of luck can help you to win the bet, it does not depend only on one factor if you win or lose. I used to bet just on box and basketball. I am a big fan of these sports and I dedicate a lot of time to be informed about the latest changes in the team and news about players. To be honest, I have one small tradition or habit, I bet on basketball only here NBA중계. I believe that if I bet there I would have a bigger probability to win and get money.
