Matched betting or other extra learning ideas.

[Frazzled74]

I’ve done this before and made use of all the new customer offers, then gave up. I’d like to start up again but not sure where to start now as I won’t qualify for start up offers. Can anyone help me?
Basically I need to earn £500 over the next 2-3 months for our holiday, so any other ideas appreciated. I have nothing to sell on eBay though.

Be careful with matched betting and the slot offers. I obtained a gambling addiction through them. Not saying you will as I had other issues going on and used slots as a way of coping.

As for sports betting from what I recall there maybe some world cup reloads you could do otherwise it will be horse racing offers till the football season starts.

Horse racing is harder as you only get odds close to exchange a few minutes before the race and they can fluctuate greatly and you will only get the free bet if certain conditions are met such as William Hill's 2 clear if they are still doing it. You get the free bet if your horse wins by at least 2 lengths.

Search for team profit for free resource or oddsmonkey for the paid for works.

How does matched betting actually work? I've heard about it, but didn't really get it. I was sceptical that it could be as much of a guaranteed way of making money as people say.

Matched betting is a brilliant way to earn extra money! I've only been doing it for 4 months and made £2000. Lots of reload offers for the world cup have helped and a £250 win from a free £2 on slots

Other Matched Betting folk, can anyone help?

I started yesterday, signed up to coral and betfair, did my qualifying bet.
Got my £20 free bet. I picked a horse race, backed my bets, worked out my lay bet on the calculator. Placed my stake, deposited the extra liability. All was well.
Checked today, won both at the bookies.
However....
The odds matcher calculator told me I would be £19.25 profit from my free bet.
Sitting in my coral account is £47.50, returns from Q bet and free bet. If i minus what i started with, i’m currently £32 in profit?
Is this right? What have I done wrong?
(Not that I should be complaining! Haha)

Hi RhinoGirl
I think it would be highly unlikely to get 19.25 from a 20 free bet. The most you usually get is about 80%. Unless it was an arb which is where the back odds are higher than the lay odds. The only thing I can think of for your extra profit after the race is bog. That's best odds guaranteed so check the odds which you backed with compared to what they were when you were payed out because the odds could have changed in your favour before the start of the race meaning extra profit!

That is exactly what happened :) thank you.
