Good lord, if that’s a bad month then your good months must be jackpot time. I bet (pardon the pun) when you started that you never would have thought £1700 would be a poor month.
This blog is inspirational and gives me hope that I can also get a decent monthly income. £500 per month would be awesome.
I remember when I first started I was happy with £300 a month extra! The truth is that most people only do this casually and so are happy cruising along with an extra £300.. I however wanted to hit this hard while it still lasted so put in way more time than most do that I know of and as a result have much higher earnings. Matched Betting has a direct correlation between time and reward.
Hi Guy,
Regular reader here – I’m wondering where most of your offers come from – are they casino offers and do you only use PA to find those which are +EV? Despite me spending most of my evening time on it, you seem to vastly out perform me by many orders of magnitude – not jealous but just want to know your secrets 🙂 I’d be interested in more detail into exactly what and how many offers you do every day, so that I too can pick myself up out of this plateau.
I’m doing the AP accas too, but also having a bad patch. Hoping things will turn around as the maths implies.
All the best and well done on the progress you’ve made.
Tom
Most of my offers are recurring sports offers (2nd place horse racing refunds, etc) and a few low/medium risk casino offers which pop up on the daily calendars. There’s no real secret to it; you just need to put the time in and hit as many offers that you’re comfortable with. Helping out friends & family is the key to getting exponential growth, if you can help them it means you can hit the same offer multiple times which helps smooth out variance. I also find that bookies use a scatter-gun approach to their email offers so the more sets of accounts you have access to the more chance of picking up one of their random generous offers.
For me, a poor month is £500! Well done on keeping the profits rolling in, although I imagine you probably spend a lot more time on the MB than I do. Good luck with the AP Accas – I hit a bad patch in the first week of this month and was down by £300 at one point! Have recouped around £200 – whilst these kinds of accas take up far less time than lay sequential ones, they are a lot more stressful!
I see you’re still doing new sign ups – I haven’t done any in a while, so probably worth checking out! Cheers!
I’ve noticed theres been a few new bookies popping up recently with good signup offers (Sportnation, SportPesa etc) so have been hitting this. I’ve found that most bookies start with a very generous offer but then soon lower it once lots of people start taking advantage. There’s always a risk with these new smaller bookies though so I’d not deposit large amounts into them.
For sign up offers and offers that only work if you use a bank account I’d recommend Halifax current account, any bank account will do and there’s not much difference but I prefer Halifax’s Ebanking set up as it’s much more user friendly than some I’ve seen, you need 2 passwords to log in and to set up a new transaction they phone you(a new transaction is not making a deposit using your card, that’s different, a new transaction would be like transferring money using the halifax page from your bank account to another bank account or a paypal/skrill moneybooker, they’ll phone you and have you verify the first time you transfer to this account).
After sign up offers I’d sign up to a moneybooker like skrill, it’s basically an online wallet or bank account but allows you to take your money out of the bookies faster than a bank account which means you don’t have to wait four days to redeposit it elsewhere and can do more bets with the same bankroll in a time period, just be careful with some offers, some offers don’t allow you to deposit using moneybookers but there aren’t many that I’ve seen.
Skrill charges a percentage fee on withdrawals to bank accounts, but transfers from bookie/exchange/casino to skrill and skrill to bookie/exchange/casino are free, so it’s great for building up a bankroll(especially if you don’t need to touch your bankroll to live off) as it’ll speed up the amount of money you can earn with your current bankroll, the loss you make in withdrawing to bank accounts will be less than the amount you’ll make by being able to transfer money faster unless you strike it rich and can afford to have your money pending for a few days in a bookies.
Long time reader of your blog, notice you have said a few times (subtly) about helping friends and family. I’m lucky enough to have a good supply of friends and family who are willing to help me.
Do you have any tips on how not to get caught out? Do you use VPN’s? Different devices/computers?
Don’t want to sign up and instantly be spotted if you get me.
Personally I’d recommend using completely dedicated hardward and network connections.
VPNs tend to use a pool of public IPs and the bookies are getting wise to which ones are coming from VPN companies. Likewise running things in a VM could potentially get you caught as certain specs about your environment get passed through the web browser to websites you visit and there may be something which gives it being a VM away.
I’d stick to using laptops and 3G dongles. A basic laptop costs about £150 and the 3G dongle is max £20 per month. A couple of signup offers more than covers the initial outlay.
I’d also recommend agreeing a set monthly amount with your friends. I know some people do it as profit % split but that can get very messy if you’re helping multiple people and having to keep track of who’s profit is whos. If you can get away with £50 per month go for it, £100 max imo. More than that and it takes too big a chunk out of your own earnings.
Keep in mind basic common sense; don’t log into the same bookie 10x in a row and make the exact same bet. They’re gonna get suspicious, especially if all of your friends live in the same town etc as is likely.
Hello
I just wondered…
Do you make it worthwhile for your friends and families!
Can you also have an account for a partner that lives at the same address or is that a definite no.
Thanks
Hi guy, great blog, I’m sat here at 6am digesting this instead of sleeping, here’s my question, and I apologise if it’s long. So.. if someone was to convince their sister and mother, to let them open accounts in there name, and also open totally Sep bank accounts, email ect ECT.. now if this person has two machines to use, one laptop, one desktop, obviously the Mac address side of things is safe, now, VPN… I’ve I buy that, does that spread across all devices? Is it just the case of switching it on and get to hitting the laptop and desktop worry free? Or do both machines need to be set and or tinkered with individually? As far as oddsmonkey or profit accumulator goes, only one account would be needed there yes? And then obviously utilize the info for both accounts? Would you buy two Sep phones and sims and dedicate them to each accounts? I think that is it, the person who is doing this *coughs* is ready to rock and roll almost, but these questions are niggling the person.. an answer to these questions would be greatly appreciated.. cheers.
Personally I’m not a fan of VPNs as the service provider tends to only have a limited number of exit IP addresses which increases the chances of another bookie’s customer using it in the past and thus looking like you’re both sharing an IP. If you’re gonna use a VPN provider make sure the IP address they assign you is dedicated and unique, otherwise 3G dongles all the way. Stick to 1 device per person, never log into person A’s accounts on person B’s device etc.
Only 1 matched betting subscription required, obviously I promote profit accumulator but oddsmonkey is a fair alternative. A separate sim per person is a must, you’ll need a dedicated phone number per person.

Can I do matched betting from the Channel Islands?
I’ve no idea I’m afraid, I think you would need to check the terms on each bookie website individually
Just to follow up. I emailed Coral and Smarkets today and there is no issue with signing up from CI.
Just emailed Ladbrokes so am waiting to hear from them. Guernsey is on their restricted list but not Jersey which is weird!
Can you recommend a bank I should open a bank account with used only for matched betting?
For sign up offers and offers that only work if you use a bank account I’d recommend Halifax current account, any bank account will do and there’s not much difference but I prefer Halifax’s Ebanking set up as it’s much more user friendly than some I’ve seen, you need 2 passwords to log in and to set up a new transaction they phone you(a new transaction is not making a deposit using your card, that’s different, a new transaction would be like transferring money using the halifax page from your bank account to another bank account or a paypal/skrill moneybooker, they’ll phone you and have you verify the first time you transfer to this account).

What do you do about depositing money? Paypal? Or have them open a new bank account?

Hi Jo,
Some bookies are ok with partners having accounts while others don’t, you need to check the specific terms with each website.
