Help me? (Not a begging thread!)

[BetMyBottom]

So I keep seeing people say that they increase their income through surveys and betting. I tried the surveys. Did ten in a day and loved it. Haven’t had a single survey come through since

So now I want to try match betting. But I have no idea how?! Is there a trick to it? I’ve never bet on anything so I need an idiots guide! I just need to make an extra few hundred pounds this month to pay for Christmas. Any suggestions/advice?

Try the ten pounds a day thread

Betting?
Surely making money from gambling involves either mathematical genius, or criminal activity? Am I missing something?

Have a look at teamprofit, they have a web page and a Facebook page. My friend taught me but my son learnt about matched betting by following the guides on there.

@ItsMeAgainAndIHaventChanged yes you're missing something

Matched betting is where you place the bet and then immediately lay it off. It's not gambling and you can't lose

However - you can get gubbed and once you've exhausted the free offers etc, it becomes a slog. Plus becoming an expert in horse accy's is HARD

I did it a few years back and made 10k. I then got booted by all the bookies as no matter how hard you try and behave like a normal punter, they spot you ..

If you want to try it then using Profit Accumulator is so so easy to follow

If you just want to make a few hundred pounds though, could you consider a job? Lots and lots available in retail and hospitality - my friend just got one for one day a week only - £320 a month.

Try Qmee for more surveys

I recommend Team Profit, read and watch all their guides and do EXACTLY as they tell you.
I will say that in my opinion you need approximately £70-100 to start with, rather than the £20 they claim- You don’t spend most of that money you just need to put it into the exchange.

It’s not as lucrative as it used to be but by doing the first 10 signups you should make a couple of hundred pounds straight off.

It’s not for everyone though tbh, it can be easy to lose money if you aren’t concentrating.
You also need to set up a new email address, a new bank account, and have photo ID and proof of address.

Prolific is good for surveys but you have to be quick or they are gone

Matched betting is a good way to make some extra cash, but please read all the guides and start with very low stakes.

It is risk free but if you make a mistake you could end up losing money.

It's also still betting and addictive.

My ex many years ago did match
betting and got more and more complex and addictive... eg betting on US sports etc

Ended up with a voluntary insolvency agreement.

Just be careful.

Thanks for all the advice. I’ve joined the ten ponds a day thread :)

I already have a full time job and I’m barely making ends meet. This is just a boost for presents/food/treats for Christmas? I think finding a better job is on the cards though!

I’m on prolific and loved it, but after the first day (where I got loads of surveys) there haven’t been any new ones at all in over a week

I’ve never bet before (unless you count the lottery) so the plan is to go it as a one off for this and quit

Thanks everyone!

Look at the profit accumulator website with takes you through how to do matched betting in really good steps.

I’d never done anything like it but made £3k ish in 3 months starting with £50 but I did some casino as well. I stopped after that as I just didn’t have time for it but it paid for Christmas and my first month of childcare post maternity leave.

I did matched betting for a while, think it was through profit accumulator (it was a while ago) I ws averaging about £10 per day profit, with minimal input. I could have made much more if I’d had more cash to play with

You are missing somethng, but other people haven't explained what well.

The gambling industry offers cash incentives to lure customers in. There are conditions attached so you have to do a certain amount of betting with the money. By being clever you can fulfil the conditions without losing money, and walk off with some or all of the incentive.

Essentially you can walk off with some of the money they've allocated to their marketing budget.

@RandomLondoner
Thanks, that makes sense. I’ll leave it at that.
Thanks also @CrystalBird

Try a couple of other survey sites. I make about 20 a month on ipsos but also got an additional 15 last month for a survey about money I completed every morning.

You need at least a few hundred to start with to be able to make decent money quickly with Matched betting, you won’t make hundreds by Cmas starting from 0.
You need funds in an exchange in order to lay the bets you put on with bookies and you only make decent profits on higher odds.
I made £20k over 2 years with MB and Casino offers, Casino is riskier because it can’t be controlled in the way that MB is but that is where the best money is.

MB is time consuming and takes concentration, it’s easy money but mistakes can be costly, back and lay the wrong horses, for example, and you can lose £100’s.

The basics of MB is this :
You get a £20 free bet as a sign up offer for a bookie, usually football or horse racing, for placing a £20 bet. You have to find the closest match you can between the the Bookie bet and the Exchange ‘lay’ , you place your bookie bet at say 6.1, the lay bet is perhaps 6.2 so you might lose £1 on the original back/lay. You would need around £120 in your exchange funds for your lay bet as you are, in effect betting on the opposite result.!
You then get your £20 free bet - so you find another close match, it costs you £1 so you have made £18 from your free bet . Rinse and repeat over 40/50/60 bookies and that’s how you make your money.

Qmee will give you 4p/5p if you got to a site via their links
not a lot but it does add up
