    Sorry - New Customer Offers.

    Yeah, you’ll find yourself wanting your bets to “lose” so your exchange funds get swelled. What you can do is go after a lot of NCOs this weekend and focus on one Premier League match and Dutch it, ie cover all three outcomes with different bookies with your stakes adjusted to make for an...

    I'd suggest starting with Smarkets for a few reasons: - 2% commission, although you can opt for a lower commission with Betfair now I think. - Betfair Sportsbook (ie the regular fixed odds bookie side) has some reasonable offers. However you would not get away with backing on the Betfair...

    I'd be surprised if you've opened them all up - new ones are appearing all the time. Regardless of that, no, it's not a stumbling block. New Customer Offers are the low-hanging fruit and are useful for helping you learn the ropes of backing/laying and building up a bit of a bank to work with...

    Sounds like you're trying to run before you walk. Just stick to easy New Customer Offers to start with and learn the back/lay ropes.

    Arbs are few and far between, don't tend to last long and are quite marginal. By all means post the bets you've seen and I'll check them out.

    The bread and butter is what you have probably done with those two... 1. Place a back bet with a bookie. 2. Place a corresponding lay bet with an exchange, taking a small loss. 3. Receive a free bet that you turn into guaranteed cash by doing another back/lay at likely longer odds. Sometimes...

    I've never done that. I used to bet quite big and lost money doing so, but it was way before my matched betting days, and I simply stopped betting completely recognising I could be on the path to becoming a problem gambler. I'll confess to having had a few small dabbles out of my matched...

    Most online roulette nowadays is "live" in that they are set in a studio with a croupier, presumably somewhere with cheap labour - I always imagine they are in Eastern Europe. The rooms and wheels are sometimes shared between different sites and with numerous live players. They're not fixed...

    You will take it slowly to start with, making sure your back bets and, more importantly, your lays are correct, and you almost certainly will make an odd mistake. However, you will quickly be backing and laying without giving it much thought at all - it becomes second nature. Profit Squad make...

    It is. As I've said before I only took it up because NSC was approached by an advertiser and whilst I'd heard of Matched Betting before, I'd never tried it and, if I'm being honest, I had it filed under "If something sounds too good to be true..." Six or seven months later I was around £15k up...

    You'll still be betting relatively small, but if gives you scope to do multiple new customer offers at a time. Most of the money will be in an exchange, eg Betfair or Smarkets, and not with bookies themselves. This is because when you are laying a bet, you need multiples of your stake in the...

    Blackjack, if you follow basic strategy, will return over 99.5% to the player. Roulette in its various forms gets nowhere near this.

    You can start small, but if you can put say, £1000 to work, you can plough new customer offers, quickly accrue profits and then take some/all of that £1000 back. With a smaller initial bank you can still make good progress, but you'll find you will have to wait from time to time as you move...

    Yep. On roulette in Vegas when I treated my Mum to a trip there for her 60th birthday. "What harm can a little first night gamble do?" I thought. A short losing run later I'd done my whole intended gambling pot for the 6 day stay on the first night. I've also done similar on sports betting...
