    I feel I would be at an advantage as I am already over £3000 into my match betting profits .
    I will keep my eye on this thread as some of the offers that are posted in the match betting forum are as simple as depositing £10.00 and playing a no lose game.
    So if any of those appear I will post a link to them ...Every little helps :)

    Good luck to everyone.
    I have previous history of propping up a recent challenge ..I still made money coming last............... so other than my pride, I was happy as Larry

    I'm in a similar situation to globalds, so feel it wouldn't really be fair to join in. Happy to pass titbits on though :)

    I keep reading the matched betting guides for beginners but they make my head swim. If someone figures it out could they post an idiot proof explanation as I just don't get it. OK well not quite true, I get some of it. The most straightforward way I can think of it is a football match. There are only 3 possible outcomes. Team A wins, team B wins or they draw. But then what?

    Betfair for example is offering :
    Chelsea 1.25, West Ham 18.5, Draw 6.4

    William Hill has the same game but a different format:
    Chelsea 1/4, West Ham 14/1, Draw 4/1

    I'm assuming that this would be a bad game to bet on because the odds of one team losing and the other winning are so different. But then again I could be very very wrong. Any suggestions anyone?
