Monthly regular income question

  • Hi Everyone,

    I’m looking for some beginners advice. I normally just do really easy offers like Bet365 and other free bet offers as a hobby really.
    However, my circumstances have taken a bit of a hit. I do 2 part time jobs but have lost one which means I’m about £100 a week worse off. This is quite a blow as I’m struggling to make ends meet at the best of times. Sorry about the sob story..lol.
    I would just like to find a way of replacing that income with matched betting if possible and would really appreciate any advice for the simplest method to achieve about £100 a week on average if this is possible. I don’t want or expect to make a fortune just a fairly safe way to replenish my lost income.
    Any advice appreciated 🙂

    My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

    People ask this all the time.

    £100 per week = £20 per day (Give yourself the weekend off!). Maybe take mon/tue off instead of sat/sun as the weekend can be good for offers.

    So £20 per day is the aim.

    You can get about a fiver per day on the two bet365 feature races (30 mins). Or a fiver per day on acca insurance offers (30 mins – more time I guess if you are laying off each leg for guaranteed profit). Then you are scraping a bit in my opinion to bring in the other tenner – probably look at ew arbing but not every day will be a good day for a bad ew race and you need a big exchange float here which you probably don’t have if you are just doing as a hobby and struggling to make ends meet. You could also arb the US Racing but will be restricted quickly, but even restricted might be good for a fiver per night. You can do the bet clubs, but this you can’t do every day. A quick scan of the blog is Sky you can guarantee £3 on their bet club and Coral you can guarantee £7, so that’s a tenner, but only covers one day in the week. BetStars champions challenge as well can bring in about £6 but only once per week and not even every week. Also high five on will hill is a regular, and will hill daily boosts/ladbrokes boosts. I don’t do any of those but could be useful for scratching out another fiver – they seem to get a lot of positive discussion here. Also there are a lot of bookie’s, and new ones popping up all the time. You could probably do one welcome offer per week as well for maybe a fiver/tenner profit on one day.

    So maybe 30 mins doing 365 feature races, about 1hr doing accas, about 1hr ew arbs, about 1hr standard offers or anything else you can find/boosts/high 5. But it will all depend on your preferences, your availability, which accounts you have, and your float as to which offers make the most sense for you to focus on. Also some offers are good for guaranteed profit, others are profitable but a lot more variance. Your preference would need to be guaranteed as your looking for regular income.

    Anyway you will be looking at dedicating a few hours every day at a quick guess and as offers change and as you lose accounts you will have to be able to find new opportunities and evolve your strategies – so another hour to keep up with the blogs/forums to make sure you are up to speed with the latest information as you will constantly have to retrain yourself.

    Or you specialise in something … I’ve seen ppl do so many acca’s going shop to shop that they can make a full time salary off, and the same with ew arbing.

    ew arbs are ideal really because the profit is limited only by how much you can stake. So initially depends on what your float allows and then ultimately depends on how much bookies restrict your account. But to make it really worthwhile you need a big float because the best value is on the long odds.

    Maybe more realistic would be a £10 on Wed-Fri and Sun. And then £60 on Sat.

    So….

    Wed: sort out your weekly bet clubs for £10 profit.

    Thurs: get a couple of accas on to cover the weekend, and do a couple of the bet365 feature race and guarantee £10 at least.

    Fri: you can go nuts e/w arbing and push for £10 profit (be flexible here if there is a great bad ew race on another day then obviously switch your days around). It might be difficult at first if your float is small, but even so £10 should be possible. The lads are probably laughing at me for suggesting £10 because with a decent float and decent experience and some luck they are hitting £100 profit potentially on one day.

    Sat: you have alot of value on bet365 enhanced terms (ew arb opportunities/extra places), and plenty of itv races all with free bets for winners on bet365 (worth a few pound per race, esp on weekend when the liquidity is great and bet365 go with their price promise). And not just bet365 for horses – should be plenty of extra place races across paddy and sky and others. Lots of football too so get a couple more accas on. You will be deep in it all day. You might underlay the skybet weekend football acca and get lucky. You’ll get on any other value boost going and use your daily boosts on will hill and you might hit a high 5 on the horses. Either way, don’t stop until you hit £60 profit. If nothing is hitting for you then you can stay on late and do the US Racing which is usually good for a few arbs late at night. If you still haven’t hit your £60 target then you might have to work on Mon/Tue or do some extra time on the other days.

    Sun: see what bookie you aren’t registered with yet and see if you can score £10 off their welcome offer.

    = £100 per week.

    Your best option might be to find another job!

    Anyway good luck!

    Hi FoG_BLoG,

    Thank you so much for your great reply. I really appreciate the time you have given and all the ideas. I need to do a lot of training to understand these methods if I’m to make it all work.
    I’ll have to start with small stakes and wait for more winnings to use for the lays.
    Many thanks again 🙂

    I wouldn’t recommend using it to replace lost income. Not unless you’ve nailed this and have a big float to start with

    If you don’t have much of a bank then I’d separate some off to build with betting wise and budget to get by without any betting income. At best you’ll struggle to get going drawing down your funds, at worst you’ll make bad decisions taking risks trying to chase money at times.
