£1 a day = £250 for christmas

[Deleted User]

I really like your idea. Going to do it 50p from me and 50p from hubby. Will soon mount up for Xmas. I can easily waste £1 a day just nipping to shop for something else and coming home with some biscuits I shouldn't eat anyway!!!

My first pound will be spent on a tin from the pound shop then!!

If you're not happy about any sort of gambling

I really need to have a good read through the matched betting thread, the only problem is that i cant really afford a couple of hundred quid straight off, is it possible to start with less?

like i said before i have enough money to live, and i have a bet on the weekends football every now and then, but its just nice to have that little extra.

im in the same boat as you aswell, i really want a new car (not need, just want) as mines a bit of an old banger, would be nice to have something quite new as all my cars have been old things.

i signed up to that peopleperhour last night ans will see if anything comes of that, also i will have another look at mystery shopping. and really need to look at matched betting, i know my way round a bet so maybe it could work for me.

Iv looked at the matched betting and despite a degree in engineering I couldn't understand how that would make me any money :-P

My brother has been making a decent bit on betting recently with "in play betting" so i'm trying that out right now... you wait till a football match is underway... if a team goes ahead by 2 goals the odds go really short but if you put a couple of quit on you can make a few pence fairly safely... obviously the more you put on they more you can make, but you also risk more...

you may only make 25p per bet, but 4 times a day thats your £1 a day!

Seismicryan - I get where you are coming from but with matched betting you are 100% risk free (what your brother is doing isn't and if he makes 25p for a couple of quid bet, it takes only 1 in every 8 games to lose and he'd be back to square 1).

To be honest I didn't really understand the matched betting thread on here which is why I didn't give it a go when I first read about it. I had a read of THIS which was a bit simpler.

If I was to try and explain it easily...

Back Carlisle £50 to win the football match againts Colchester at 2.38 (on Betfred)
Lay Carlisle £50.64 to lose the footiball match at 2.39 (on Betfair)

So with these bets you're pretty much going to lose about £1.50 ish no matter who wins.

Because you've deposited and staked £50 on Betfred, they are now going to give you £50 to bet on something.

So...let's back Macclesfield to win against Chesterfield at 7.0 on Betfred with your free £50 and then lay £39.74 at 7.6 on Betfair. Whoever wins, you've won £37.79 profit (after commission) because you've only had to pay for half of your bet.

The previous link I gave you has the info on where to find the best bets and what websites are giving free bets.

And just to let you know how profitable it's being...I said I was at £43 at 10pm last night. I got up to £71 this morning and when I receive a couple of my free bets and use them (some don't appear til you're first bets are settled) then I'll be up to £173 (most by tomorrow but 1 on Monday).

Your one problem is going to be the balance you need to start off - if you have even a little money you could start off on short odds and free £10 bets to lower the liability on Betfair. I've had to use a total of £750 in order to put down all the bets - but I've been focussing on all the £30/£40/£50 ones. I would say the minimum you could start with is about £20 - £10 to deposit and stake somewhere and £10 in your Betfair account to lay. If you use Quidco when opening some of the accounts, they will give you quite a bit of cashback (although takes ages to come through).

Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try and help!

I almost think I would need to get somone to show me on my laptop how this thing works... I will maybe look over the instructions with some friends and see if we can work it out together!

Also, a lot of it seems to be based on the fact you get free bets? What happens after youve got that free bet?

I am sorry if I come across as stupid about this lol Im really not.. I just dont get how it can be so easy to win so much... why isnt everyone doing it??

EDIT: I have sent the link to my two friends who are trying to make a little money from betting and seeing if we can figure it out together and maybe pull resources to allow us larger free bets etc!

I have been doing this since 1st january and at the end of every month I put it into my small building society account that isn't easy to get to as its a good threee miles away from where I live .So far I have £90.00 in there plus £15.00 in my small money box on the kitchen windowsill.Must admit I haven't missed it and it will be very useful when Christmas looms over the horizon

seismicryan

thanks IVM.. i'll definitly look into it more..

Right now im sitting betting on the football on the matches that are 2-0 with only minutes to play to make just a few pence at a time... its is pretty much risk free but just slow to make any moneY :P

Those matches that you're betting on...I've put matched bets on 5 of them and will come out at a £4.24 loss between them all. But once they're settled, I'm being given £175 in free bets. So they'll all be matched against Betfair and I'll make a fair whack on that.

Hope you get it worked out - you could make a year's worth of 62p per day in about a week...

Hey JackieO!

Are you still opening new accounts just now or have you opened as many as you can? Are you finding a lot of existing customer offers?
