  • you need to look at match betting and a lot of people make a chunk of money out of this. Take a look at the gambling forum on here. To maximise you quidco or topcashback that give you extra money on top.

    In essence it involves a betting exchange like bet fair.

    I've been doing MB for a few years now, and it can be very profitable. However, I wholly agree with nexuss, get familiar with all the info on the GIOL board, as otherwise it can work out very costly.

    Good luck!

    If you stick to the exact rules, MB is not gambling per se, as you are covering all possible outcomes (so you win and lose!). However, I think you are spot on in acknowledging that there are risks involved, and I wouldn't advise it if you cannot spare the money (which can happen if a bet is voided, or if a bookie goes under).
