Last year I managed to reclaim over £5000 back in ppi and I am using that money to tide me over while I change careers from office based to self employed from home. DP is also helping to support me which is great.
It will be a while until I am earning so I'm interested in trying matched betting to try and earn a bit of extra cash to put towards a holiday or any extras. I have had a read at some threads on here and elsewhere and I think I would set up a new bank account and pay for one of the guide sites to make it all a bit easier.
My question is this, how much time does the matched betting take you? I am now at home most days mon - fri so could make some time during the weekday to do this but I obviously want to be spending a good bit of time on my work. I also don't have much time to spend on it at the weekends as I am quite busy then and out of the house a lot. Can I set up the best for the weekend on the Friday or do the offers only come through on the saturday?
How much time would I realistically have to spend to make say £200 a month? I am up for doing it but don't want to be a sweaty, obsessed mess sitting endlessly at my computer for hours every day to make £200 a month.
After learning the ropes, is matched betting something I can sit down for a 2 -3 hours a week, calmly put on a few bets, then forget about it get on with my life until the next session or does it inevitably take over your life?
