Ooooh matched betting! I have no tips or experience on it but it's an area I want to learn at the end of the year, good luck with it
First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!0 -
Great news on getting to £124K ATB!!! I'll put money on you beating your target of being MF by 2020!!
Good luck with the matched betting! xI've been mortgage free once, so let's do it again!

I'm pretty sure Newgirly has done matched betting, maybe pick her brains?0

Today's job is to try and understand matched betting. I have been putting this off for ages but now is the time to really give it a blinkin' good go. Any of my fellow MFW pals dipped their toe in the water? X
LOVE this journey x
Not me, but is something I have wanted to have a go at, for a long time now. Shanghaijimmy was on here a lot last year, then went to match betting, making £££'s but not posted for a good while now, Edinburgers also a dab hand at MB, and I could be wrong but think Hiddenshaddow also an expert.

I'm hardly an expert, just found a few tutorials / online calculators.
Sadly most of the tools that made it easy (for me) have disappeared behind paywalls I think, which is why my MB efforts have dropped quite a bit lately.0 -

Thanks HS. I've been looking at using Oddsmonkey, do you have any experience of them? XMFW

I used to use their odds matching tool but it's no longer free.

Thanks. From my limited research so far, OM seem to be the best rated middle man for assisting with MB, although at £15 per month. If I am going to commit to this properly I would like to be spending at least two hours per day MBing, so would easily cover the outlay.
More time to be spent tomorrow reading everything again, but I do understand how it all works now - it clicked rather quickly, I was surprised! xMFW

I was wondering how SJ is recently, hope he is well.
I will happily share what I have learnt - spent a lot of today reading and it has all clicked into place fairly smoothly. Tomorrow will be spent putting it into practice! xMFW

Good luck with it.
I never paid for any of the services, partly because I'm too frugal and partly because I didn't want to commit to the price/time required to make it worthwhile. 0
