I am having some trouble with matched betting. Can someone please help?
I am trying this for the first time. I am trying to earn more money for my family.
I am using www.savethestudent.org/make-money/what-is-matched-betting.html#comments as a guide.
Here is what I have done so far:
Back bet - Leicester City vs Sunderland
Paddypower - I bet £10 that Leicester City will win (odds of 2.25)
Betfair - I placed a lay bet that Leicester City would not win (odds of 2.30) Liability amount = £12.88.
Result = Sunderland 0-2 Leicester City
Paddypower total return - £22.50 plus £10 free bet NOT £30 free bet like the guide says I should get.
Free bet - Deportivo La Coruna v Las Palmas (tommorow - 11/04/16)
Paddypower - I used my £10 free bet to bet that it would be a draw (odds of 3.25)
But according to the guide I should have had a £30 free bet to use!! Instead I only have £10.
Why is this?
Will it still work?
Should I bet another £20 from my remaining balance to bring it up to £30?
My remaining balance is £22.50
Thank you so much.
