    Have you read the START HERE thread?

    I know matched betting isn't for everyone but I made £1000 a month for the first few months, and £7000 in my first year. Other people have made more by putting more time into doing it. I'd hate to see anyone miss out on what is probably the best source of income you can discover on this site.

    REALLY??????? I'm doing something wrong....spent most of last week on it and...um....made nowhere near that!

  • I must, I must, I must try matched betting with the £52 I won on the bingomania site.
    It's bonus/free money so nothing much to lose. But then again... £52 in the hand is worth £100 in the bush... or something like that!!

    Debt free (except for mortgage) for since 2008 thanks to this site :D

    It seems like there are a few people wanting to start so maybe we could organise some sort of mass learning afternoon ... not sure how or when though. Will have a think!

    i have just started matched betting with the help of that thread,
    and i had to read it through a [STRIKE]few [/STRIKE] alot of times before i got it into my head,
    i have placed my first 2 bets this week and made £97 profit,
    my first bet was nerve wracking to say the least, but my second bet was a doddle,
    i have become the resident pest in the newbie thread, but its great there, really clever people like dan will check your bets for you, so there is plenty help,
    if i can do it anyone can,
    i think you should all try it.

    I reread the match betting threads for 3 nights solidly from 9 pm - 1 am, made loads of notes, compiled a step by step fact sheet in my own words (happy to PM to anyone who wants it but not going to be held responsible for any inaccuracies!!!) and then posted a HUGE list of all the questions that I had on the newbie thread. I only lost some money through my own error of not checking the bookies terms and conditions which is a must do.

    Thx Sea 78 but I've chickened it and am getting signed off for another 2 weeks. I'm on half pay so I know I should go back but I just would really appreciate the extra time to let my hair down, sort my new house out and settle the kids properly. Plus I'm still not eating/sleeping v.well so I'm hoping that justifies it (well that's how I'm justifying it to myself anyway!!)

    I would love to help others with MB but although I know what I'm doing I can't explain it very well. I just follow the rules rather than the reasoning behind it all.
