Match Betting

Ok well you know that bookies give out free bets for new users who deposit and stake i.e. £25, The idea is to turn this free bet into as much real cash as you can, technically this is not gambling as you cant lose as long as you pay attention and dont give in to the temptation of actual gambling.

Example;- BetDirect give a £25 freebet when you deposit and stake £25 at odds of 2.0 or over. So what we do is sign up and deposit £25.

We then sign up to a betting exchange i.e. Betfair. (A betting exchange is where you can back a team or offer a lay, so if i lay manchester united to win, it means I am betting for that not too happen, at a betting exchange it is other people who take your bet)

Once we have done this we have to find a match with as close odds as possible, as an example we'll say manchester united to beat arsenal at odds of 2.2 at BetDirect and 2.1 at Betfair.

We then back Manchester united for the £25 and lay the same at Betfair for £25, we will make a loss to start with of say 91p or something small like that. So depending on the result you will have £49.09 in either Betfair or Betdirect.

So we're 91p down but we now have a £25 freebet at one of the two, so we have to then find another bet but at higher odds however still as close as possible, by doing so we maximise the amount of free bet we get back.

So say we choose Fulham to beat Real Madrid (just an example :haha:) at odds of 7.0 and 7.1 we might get back £19.91 extra which would mean overall we are £19 up on what we started.

PLEASE dont just go and try this theres a few more things to know before you have a go, and i have a calculator which tells you how much you will receive from each bet.

Different bookies offer different freebets up to £200 so if your interested, do some more research if you want or let me know if you want help with a first one as an example or the calculator i have.

If I am going to bet I spread bet across specialist bets on a particular sport..

For example bet on an NBA match.. straight win based on stats. Lay that off with a bet on a first quarter score. Another bet on total points scored +/- in the game and lay that off against a first team to score etc.

Using this method I cleared 4500quid in a month with my biggest win being a night I started with 30quid and finished with 820.

nice, thats something i'll have to look into, Match Betting works really well but the profits are limited to how much free money you have to sign up to as many bookies as possible, I was reading through someones Match betting diary though which shows their every bet and they managed £41000 in three years, mmm GT parts lol

lol... always good to do plenty of research dude :)

I am not big into gambling but I really see the attraction as it makes games much more interesting even if you just have 5 quid on it.

I cant wait for the NBA season to start again :) Ill be back on paddypower.com hammering it.

I had never placed a bet until 2 years ago and discovered paddypower.com ... its so easy to gamble.. I feel sorry for people that have problems with gambling because it is most deffinately addictive but if you can practice self control it can be fun.

i've got to agree with you, theres people who gamble to enjoy the game of it and chance of winning but know what they can afford and then theres people that depend on it. 99% of the time the idea of gambling makes me laugh but a friend actually recommended this to me so thought i'd do a bit of research, i've been doing it about a month on and off with about £500 profit so i cant really complain as a student its a nice little bonus when i have the time to do it.
