The most idiot proof matched betting explaination I've come across so far can be found here http://www.free-easy-money.com/bettingtutorial.php They have a very useful matching tool too but I haven't been brave enough to place my first bet yet.

Right, that link was fab!! I need help understanding this though. I input the odds for winning men at the Australian open. For Andy Murray got this from the calculator:

Back stake £10 (I put this as my bet) Lay stake was calulated as £7.94
Back return came up as £43.30 Lay risk was said to be £35.75
Back Profit as £7.55 Lay profit was £7.55

So, do I make money here? Whats the difference between back return and back profit? Is the Lay risk what I would have to pay out? Is it is then if I bet £10 and lay bet £7.94 (a total output of £17.94) - I can either win the back bet (so £43.30 - Lay risk of £35.75) = £7.55 OR I win the lay bet and lose the back bet. How is the lay profit worked out???

I need to place a smaller bet cos I only have £10 in total - I make a small bet now then bet with the free money. If I can work it out a bit better in my head then Ill defo go for it. Juts need to clarify that I get my £17.94 total stakes back PLUS the £7.55 profit

Well, I'm a newbie too to such enterprises as this, but please count me in. I shan't be going for the matched betting so doubt that I'll be in amongst the winners, but, provided I've got more than £10.10 [original stake plus 2% annual interest over 6 months] I'll be a winner anyway!

Thank you for this thread, and thanks to whoever put it into Martin's Tip letter
