    :eek: You bought the info? :eek: Well that's a new way of someone making money!!

    Basically, you find a Bookies say Coral. Open an account with them, open an account with a betting exchange such as Betfair.

    Obviously look for cashback when open a new account, and also look for what free bet the bookie will offer you. Read the terms and conditions!

    I would suggest your first bet is small so if you make a mistake you wont lose too much.

    The principle is
    - bet on something at (COral) - this is a back bet
    - bet on the SAME thing at Betfair- (lay bet)

    It shouldn;t matter what the outcome of the match is as themoney will go to one of your accounts. Then the idea is that Coral will then give you a free bet matching your oroginal amount.
    You start the above process again and the profit made from the free bet is your profit.

    You need to download the spreadsheet to check you're getting good odds so you don't lose too much money on your first bet.

    You can basically bet on anything in amatch though win,lose,draw, under goals, half time score etc as long as both the Bookie and the bet exchange bookie are offering odds on them

    You can start with as much money as you want,but only use money you can afford to lose as if something goes wrong then essentially you could lose it
