    The first thing they will tell you to do in the hunt for match betting advice is
    "search the forums"

    Good luck....There is good money to be made ...Just tread careful .
  • If you check out up your income board for daily clicks (there is someone called (I think) eagerlearner who knows EVERYTHING there is to know) and there is a gambling loopholes board for matched betting where there are threads that give you instructions (I still haven't got my head round it)

    I can assure you that if done properly it is not gambling .You are in fact betting on all outcomes of an event .
    The risk involved is in not doing it properly.Which is mainly solved by asking people to check what you are planning on doing.
    If you do have a problem with gambling then match betting is probably not for you .
    Most MSE match betters are not gamblers.

    This is not the sort of thing that should be encouraged. If you make money from it someones is losing it . The money men said they were not gambling ,but that was what they were doing with the money markets , now we are all losing !

    With all due respect that is in fact complete and utter rubbish. :)

    It's about exploiting the introductory offers bookies give in order to get you to sign up to their site. The risks involved are only human error. Do it by the book at it's a fantastic way of making alot of money.
