Matched betting has always been one of the easiest way to earn a reliable punting income, at least in the short term.
Some of the advantages of matched betting, in comparison to classical betting include:
- Profit can be "locked in" and guaranteed. - No emotional upsets (i.e. long losing runs). - You can start with as little as £50 - £100.
On the other hand, there are also some drawbacks to matched betting, but unfortunately these are often glossed over.
So, let's address them here:
1. Once your bookmaker welcome offers have been used up, it becomes more difficult to continue earning.
This is where existing customer offers come into play, and lesser known strategies such as each-way matching.
If you'd like to find out how to profit using these types of strategies, MatchedBets.com can help you on that front.
2. Matched betting can be time consuming.
I often hear of people making four figures per month from matched betting...but is this realistic?
While it may be possible for pro-punters or retirees, you'd probably have to put in near enough full-time hours to achieve this level of income.
For the majority of people, £300 - £500 per month is a more realistic goal, depending on the size of your starting bankroll.
3. If the bookies catch you matched betting, you're going to get "gubbed" with little or no warning.
This is a major problem for any serious punter in the long run...restricted accounts mean you can't get on at the best odds. And once that happens, turning a profit becomes much more difficult.
Fortunately, you can vastly reduce your likelihood of being flagged by the bookies, simply by removing any spyware they may have installed on your computer.
Geegeez published an article on this topic back in 2015, and the instructions for removing spyware are still valid today...
The instructions for Windows computers can be found within the article, and there's a link underneath to the Mac instructions (by yours truly ; ) ).
So, there are definately ways around these drawbacks. Then again, there's still a problem for the growing number of punters who have already been gubbed...
If that's you, my advice would be as follows:
1. Get rid of the bookie spyware on your computer as soon as humanly possible.
2. Open up a few new accounts with lesser known firms such as Black Type, Betstars, Sportpesa, Moplay or Unibet.
3. Make use of the "lay-to-lose" guarantee concession offered by firms such as Skybet, Betvictor, Betfair Sportsbook and William Hill.
And finally, consider using a matched betting service that shows you how to lock-in profit even with gubbed accounts, such as
