Just looking into this, it seems very straightforward and losses appear to be minimal, if you did matched betting all day, what sort of profit could you get?

When I was a student, after all the sign up offers were exhausted, I could pull about 600 to 800 per month with about 4 hours work a day (but that was spread over 8am until about 9pm). I did look at doing more hours but even doubling the time (for the more complicated offers) only returned another 100 to 150 per month, so I didn't bother. With race meetings (i.e. Aintree, etc) you can add another 100 per month.
With dedication of a standard working week and a willingness to work Sat and Sun mornings, you could just about clear 1k a month I reckon.
I only do about 5 hrs a week now for about 150 per month - I just take the less time consuming offers.
Remember it's all tax free as well, so if you do say get into the 20k bracket that some manage, that's like a 25k job.

^ he speaks the truth but it can obviously differ depending on luck (if certain offers are trigger based) and other factors. I would definitely treat it as a side project/hobby and whatever you make is a bonus. Established members on PA do it and still manage family life which is impressive.
I seem to have shifted from bits here and there to big events now (not just my accounts), Ascot and the world cup have been kind:
- £1,920 from 433 matched bets - though the last 66 have resulted in £3.66 profit
- £375 from gambling (£10 of my actual money committed so far, 85% of these winnings have been from 2 x £5 bets)
2 years ago I made 15k in a year.. Offers arent as good anymore but still money to be made. The issue is being gubbed. That's what crippled me, otherwise I'd still be doing it now. The above figure was from running 2 accounts both mine and my other half with a decent sized bank and a few k from casino offers.
It's worth doing for some extra pocket money. I generally don't put much time into it, maybe a few hours a week and can clear around £200 a month. Unfortunately the offers are nowhere near as good as they were a few years ago when you could get £500 a month easily.

This thread is enormous. Can anybody provide an "FAQ" or similar on where I can get started with this please? Is the "fixtheodds" link on page 1 still the place to go?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Oh wow, cheers for the heads up, I wasn't aware of the B365!
These are the type of games I like!
WH have been a bit disappointing this world cup though, it's a shame they aren't doing 4MM.

Projected earnings for the year sitting at ~£29K. I absolutely love casino offers.
Me too but that's only projected. Me, you both know Casino isn't a guarantee and can easily go against that.

That's true, still been in profit every month since I started so had a pretty good run if it all goes to **** from here! Sitting on £14.5K at the moment.

Won't bookies just close accounts when they suspect you're using them for matched betting?
well done mate, however I think its bad practice to be spouting about your potential winnings like that. You give people false "hope/ideas" on realistic amounts people can make off these, and as you said before casino's can be profitable BUT only if you've got a decent kitty to throw at it and don't panic when you find yourself 4k down on the odd month.

Well worth repeating this.

What should I do with my gubbed accounts? Can I still do the each way bets on horses and find some ARBs to squeeze any extra profit out of them?
