In theory yes.

But there are loads out there and new ones come along all the time.

And some bookmakers notice that you haven't used your account in a few months and give you a free bet to try and entice you back.

I'm only a few weeks into it but I think that there is enough out there to keep me going for many months yet.

Ahh thanks for replying
I take it there is a link to all the diffeent sites somewhere on here

But I strongly suggest looking for gambling on Quidco, and then Ipoints and other cashback sites and then betrescue - there are others that I havent got onto yet.

Dont forget that cashback is a nice part of the available profits here.

[strike]I want to do this. I'm just worried that by the time the penny drops for me, the bookies will be wise to it and/or the loophole will have closed. Does anyone foresee this happening in the near future?[/strike]

Just wanted to say huge thanks to Dan29 for his very clear illustration of how matched betting works - finally I understand! Thank you so much.

well done .....mrs s..:T

you will now be running way a head in the £1,024 from nithing challenge...

i have tried quickly reading the matchbet threads...so if i got this right..

find something to be on.( to win ).. go via cashback site...
check betfair to see if the odds are more or less the same ( to lose)..place a bet....

so when the results come in...you win with one.. which ever way the out come...is...

so you keep going to betfair for the one bet... and you find new sites for the other bet....

but this is the confusing bit for me..... the free bet...

do i use the free bet as another....bet...on something totally diff...( another bet all together..and the do opp bet with betfair)

or could i use the free bet to bet on the opp..to what i put my money on

i hope some one can understand that....

also how much do you spend on one set of bets if that is right way of sayng it..

I've not been doing long but my own opinion is that the offers will never disappear!

On a whole I think most of my bets have lost at the bookies (and I reckon maybe 50% of others do) which means they are making money and will keep the offers going. Of course the offers will vary but I reckon they are here to stay for a while.

Thanks ss. When I get myself a printer (which will be soon cos mine is broken and I daren't use the one at work), I will print off all the relevant stickies and sit down and try to make sense of them.
