How to get started with matched betting?

[notagoodusername]

Just that really. I want to start matched betting to get a bit of extra money but have no idea where to start. Are there any good guides to read or videos to watch? Tia

Unless you want a gambling addiction; steer clear and find another way of making money. Have you thought about working?

Do many Matched Betters go on to have gambling addictions?

Gambling is gambling. Gambling is addictive. Most addicts are in denial. Bookmakers have strategies to get people involved. Starting with small bets and wins and gaining momentum.

I disagree with LastChanceFinalOffer. I've been MB'ing for the last 5 months. I can see how it could entice you into gambling if you are that way inclined but its not a given. Done properly there is no risk involved, you are not gambling. You are moving pots of money around and slowly building it as you go, with the profit coming from free bets and other promotions.
Look at the Team Profit website and Facebook page. That's your best starting point. The website gives you step by step guides for doing the welcome offers. Stick to that and ask lots of questions.
I've been doing it to supplement my part time job and I've made about £2000.

When I say the profit comes from free bets...that doesn't mean you are taking a punt with money and chasing a win...you are not gambling. Read the guides and it will explain it all...focus just on the welcome offer guides.

There is also an excellent MBing thread on here. Give me a minute and I’ll find it.

LastChanceFinalOffer clearly does not understand matched being as there is no gambling involved.

Google Team Profit and join their site, they have video guides and will walk you through exactly what you need to do (and it's free).

I've made just over £5,000 since starting in September 18.

Here’s the link to the MN chat thread.

Also as said go to the Team Profit website and the Team Profit Newbies FB Page.

MB is not gambling its the very opposite and risk free. I started with the save the student guide and then went on to oddsmonkey and the FB groups. Made enough yesterday to pay for my new glasses which makes a big difference in my income

Oh and I work FT, I just do it around work

It's definitely not gambling. I would recommend starting by looking at team profit's website.

Thank you to everyone who replied helpfully. I will have a look. And thank you to the judgemental poster who wrongly assumed I don't work. There's always one.
