What is Matched Betting?

Bookmakers are always offering sign up bonuses to try create new customers, and ‘reload offers’ to retain existing customers. The bookmaker market is incredibly competitive which forces them to shower the market with free bets. With matched betting, we can use these offers to our advantage, sway the odds in our favour, and calculate the perfect bet to profit without risking a single penny!

Matched Betting involves betting on all outcomes of an event and balancing the odds in such a way it guarantees a return. This method is completely risk free as you are covering all possibilities, whether the result comes in or not, you win! It uses free bets credited by the bookmakers, for both new customers and existing customers, in order to generate the profit. ​ ​ Please may I add and emphasise here, matched betting is both risk-free and also 100% legal (see Is Matched Betting Legal?). When I first started I did not have the money to be risking it. I chose matched betting because I knew the money was guaranteed back. Look at the search volumes below over time as more and more people begin to get involved! Profit Accumulator had 8,000 members when I first started, now they have had over 100,000 paying customers!

How did I come across Matched Betting?

I first came across Matched Betting when I saw a Profit Accumulator advertisement on Facebook. It gave brief detail on the process so I decided to take a look around! It turns out Profit Accumulator were very good at explaining the key concepts and have got me where I am now!

“There’s no illegal element to matched betting. It’s a free bet and you can do what you like.” [Source: The Telegraph]

“Matched betting is legal and a spokesperson for William Hill has indicated that the betting industry does not have a problem with this use of free bets” [Source: Wikipedia]

I knew I wanted to earn some extra money from the comfort of my own home, but I also knew it wouldn’t be straight forward. My name is Nathan Lord and I have now been matched betting for over four years and expect that to continue long into the future. You’re onto a good thing, trust me!
