New to matched betting?
My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

I hear you Tony… A bonus rollover guide is on my list of priorities, which should help things.
Jimbojoneshello… Enter ’10Bet welcome bonus’ into the ‘Search forums’ box at the top of this page, and it should direct you to the advice you are looking for.
I might have to introduce a sin bin for this forum… Can’t we all just get along?
It can take a short while for changes to take effect. Are you still having trouble with this?
Have a read of my Extra Place Offers guide for the how to > https://matchedbettingblog.com/extra-place-offers/
I’ve never seen a max bet amount for the extra place offers so I don’t think there is one.
Not sure if you guys have seen, but I’ve now added a strategy guide to the blog for extra place offers that might help…
I contacted Oddsmonkey a while back about getting their Oddsmatcher on the blog. My intention was to pay their monthly ‘partner’ fees and have it freely accessible on here. Unfortunately, they won’t allow a website to use their Oddsmatcher unless the website is charging its’ users at least £10.00 per month…
…Hence, no Oddsmatcher on the blog.
Evening guys. Unfortunately, due to the demands of running the site, I don’t check the forum anywhere near as often as I would like to, so I apologise that this has only just been brought to my attention.
I’m sorry to hear of the problems a number of you are having withdrawing money from your accounts. I also have money in a couple of those accounts, so I share your frustration.
I’ve removed 138.com, 12BET, Fun88 and TLCBET from the free bets section of the blog and they will not be returning regardless of the outcome of the situation.
Hopefully now that the story is in the press, we will get some answers and we can only hope that the situation gets resolved and we receive our funds.
Looks like they’ve finally amended the terms guys…
“This offer is only valid for players located in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.”
Tomfromdablock, I added a risk-free bet guide yesterday which you may find useful…
I think Smarkets have been performing a lot better these last couple of weeks. They’ve been doing a lot of work on improving the site and upgraded things earlier this month.
Also Mike, just to echo what Patrick said, it sounds like you are getting a 2% discount rate on the standard 5%, so 5% * 0.98 = 4.9%. To be getting a 60% discount rate you would need to be earning over 150,000 Betfair points and trading five figure sums of money on a daily basis.
Patrick, betting exchanges make their money by charging people commission on their net winnings. Whenever you place a matched lay bet, there is always someone on the other side who has backed that outcome. Therefore regardless of the outcome of the event, there will always be a winner and a loser. So the exchange makes a profit on every pair of bets placed.
Nicely done Mark. I’m hoping to get a full guide written on these at some point soon. There’s definitely money to be made. Personally, I’m a fan of laying the £51.02 and making it risk-free. It’s very rare you don’t hit at least one winner over the course of the 6 or 7 races.
