Matched Betting questions- I know!

[Beesandhoneys]

I'm not going to ask how it works. I've watched a few videos and I get the idea of what it is but I'll need to watch more to understand how to do it properly. I just have a few questions for people who've done it.

I have £70 to start me off- is that okay to begin with? I can add more end of next month

How much have you made from it? I can probably devote 12 hours a week to it, I don't know what's a reasonable expectation?

How quickly do you get banned from sites when they realise what you're doing?

I have more but can't remember off the top of my head! Tia

How soon do you get the money back as well? Few days, weeks?

Hopeful bump

£70 is fine. You'll make money immediately your free bet settles. It'll be sitting in either an exchange account or bookie account though, and they can take a couple of days to hit your bank once you've withdrawn. However if the profit is in your exchange account you're better of leaving it there and trying to build that money up to continue MBing.

Some bookies will ban you as soon as you play your free bet (Betway), others (William Hill, Coral, Bet365) you can keep for years.

Good luck!

Can I be really nosey and ask how much you've made @titchy

£70 is ok but the more you have, the more liability you can cover and the greater number of offers and profit you can make.

I did it for two and a bit years and made about £12,000. I haven't done it for ages and got gubbed by a lot of the bookies.

Read, watch the videos, read some more. Join Team Profit on Facebook as they have a lot of help. If you don't understand something then ask. And also try and take all the new sign up offers for each bookie (so Coral and Ladbrokes I think both offer £50 free casino bonus - it has pretty high wagering but you may not bust out and it's worth doing).

I started with a tenner 4 years ago, still going strong, the more money you have, the more you can make so focus on the new account offers and build your bank.

It’s not easy once the sign ups are done but if you keep at it there’s loads to me made.

I’ve still got accounts 4 years on and others lost at the first deposit.

I made about £9k on MB, but most of my profit now comes from low risk casino offers - I average £1k a month from that with a few sports offers. But I wouldn't recommend till you've got the hang of it, a decent (thousands) amount of money available, and the stomach to lose money in the short term.

I made about £300 fairly quickly starting with about a hundred. Got bored of it though to be honest.

Once you have to be doing accas (accumulators) it gets a bit more full on as you have to actually care about the results and place the next bet and I can't quite be bothered with that real time commitment.
