Returning to Matched betting

  • Hi all,
    I started match betting about a year ago now. Thanks to this forum I made myself around 3k in 6 months (2k float). However after this, I decided to pay off existing debts which meant I sadly I couldn’t continue match betting.

    Having only been heavily restricted on sky and paddy i’m thinking of taking advantage of my other unrestricted accounts from next month starting with 1k float and hoping to build up my float from there.

    With little offers out there these days I’m thinking of doing the following methods to maximise profit while my accounts are open. ew arbing (multi bookmakers), b365 c4 racing offer, will hill and ladbrookes boosts as well as the betfair ew edge.

    Anyone know of any other decent offers out there I should take advantage of?

    Cheers,
    Joe

    I think that you have mentioned the main ones. Keep an eye on the forum and blog because there are still the traditional offers about, maybe not as frequent.

    Also I think Acca insurance is still some good offers, not as good as last year, but still some value in them.

    Extra places too and price boosts.

    Thanks for the reply FoG, I will keep checking the blog and keep looking out for the extra place races.

    The acca insurance is something I’m yet to try. Am I correct in thinking because of the exchange odds being better than the bookie odds you have to accept a loss on the acca unless 4 teams win out of 5? (Paddy and ladbrokes 5+ team acca) giving you the free bet stake back for which you extract 80% profit from! I trialed the sequential lay calculator the other day and it was saying I would make a loss unless I got the refund.

    The sequential lay calculator won’t work because it doesn’t take into account the value of the potential free bet.

    It needs to be tweaked. So yes you can make a “guaranteed” profit (provided odds don’t drift) if you get your hands on the right calculator.

    The idea will be to lay until one team loses but you can lay more than normally. Then lay until a second team loses which you can afford to because you have the potential value of the free bet to fall back on.

    If two legs lose and your lay stakes were proportioned right then you can be in profit. If the acca wins and you have proportioned your lay stakes right then the bookie payout should be greater than your lay payouts. If one team loses then you should be a little bit down in real money but can make it back and a little profit by extracting value off the free bet.

    Thanks that makes sense I wasn’t taking into account the free bet to fall back onto to be able to lay legs for a profit! Cheers!
