New account offers - matched betting

[FusionChefGeoff]

I've signed up to Team Profit and watched all the videos and understand exactly what's going on - progress!!!

I've got a separate, new email account and will be using a separate bank account.

The Team Profit tutorials were all about using their recommended trigger bets (where they'd already matched the odds for you) to qualify for additional free bets which I totally understand and am happy to start that process whenever.

However, I am keen to make sure I maximise my 'worth' in this golden week as a brand new customer as surely I should get a tonne of opening offers?

Am I correct in thinking I should just take as many free bet opening offers as possible and simply back and lay on the highest matched odds I can find to generate instant profit??

I don't want to dive in with the trigger bets when I'm sure there's a unique window to cash in at the beginning.

Keep the odds below 8, take the highest matching bets but keep to popular events.

You need to get as many done before Cheltenham really. Cheltenham have good free bet offers.

for the qualifying bet keep the odds as similar as possible for the back and the lay to minimise qualifying loss. for the free bet then 5-8 to maximise profit from the free bet. the higher the odds the more liability will be taken up though if you bet on a game thats a few days away if that makes sense.

was going to make a new thread but ill keep an eye on this one. was looking to see how other people make the most of cheltenham.

Hi, I'm new to matched betting so have been doing lots of reading up on it in the last hour. Can you point me in the right direction of any tutorials/blogs that I'll find useful. Thanks

I'm using Team Profit and OddsMonkey. They have LOADs of tutorials and I found an old but relevant podcast series this morning

Team profit is a great resource. There is a Facebook group for newbies where you can ask questions.

As someone who has been doing it for a year, my advice is to not try to do too much too soon. Stick to the simple offers and work through the team profit sign ups first.

You will get gubbed at some point (it means banned from the bookies or stake restricted). It happens. Don't give it too much headspace.

Other bit of advice is don't tell people who don't understand it. I made that mistake and now my friends think I am obsessed with gambling or ask me who to be on for big matches. It's painful trying to explain when they just don't get it.

It isn't likely to make you rich, but it is a great way to generate extra money. As a hobby, I really love it.
