Anyone still doing this. Remember people were making about a grand a month on the side a few years back. The bookies must have wised up by now!

2Bob - yea it's broadly the same promotion. 365 pay out if your team goes 2 goals up. Will Hill pay out if your team scores the first goal.

This is strange, I was only just looking into this last night and was thinking of posting on here today.
I've never opened any betting accounts ever. Just started researching into it.
Worth doing?

If you don't have any accounts, absolutely worth it

I think there is money to be made just not a lot. As in it will never overtake your main job, just a little extra cash on the side.

Mace, out of interest, do you back clear favorites or just whatever you fancy? Just singles to win I guess?

Terrywait - it's not gambling, you have to totally forget gambling. It's risk free bettting and as for what to bet on, it depends what the bookie is offering ...

As an example, Bet365 2 up offer - i won £1200 a while back backing Southampton to beat ManU for zero risk. ie. i'd backed them at Bet365 and laid the bet on an exchange ( similar to betfair but one with less commission) Southampton went 2 up, Bet365 pay out, game ends up 2-2.

Re: Matched Betting

mace - in your example - your not looking to take anything out of a promotion amount (like a normal matched bet) just getting a risk free option on the 2 up win?

Re: Matched Betting

Heath - in the example, you win in the bookie and the exchange. If the 2 up / early payout doesn't happen it's a normal matched bet , win/lose in bookie .... lose/win in the exchange. If it does happen you can wait for a turnaround or cashout early in the exchange for an overall profit

Re: Matched Betting

So you are basically describing some sort of arbitrage trading rather than betting. Does that sound about right?
