Few Matched Betting advises needed for a rookie…

  • Hi guys!
    I came across this blog a few days ago when I got interested a bit more in matched betting idea. I am a casual gambler that likes to have a bet now and then. I do not stake a lot, usually do it for fun hoping to win big me silly. I have been gambling like that for over a year now with some really good success rate in previous footy season. Unfortunately as we all know usual gambling will not make you any money in the long term.
    I always looked for some way to make extra money on the side just to improve my monthly budget. I have known about matched betting for a while know but never really looked closer into it, only until a few days ago when I decided to give it a go.
    One of the tipping sites I have been following for a while advertised a company that had their own website and was specialised in matched betting for newbies. I did get a discount code for 1st month and decided to sign up (couldn’t do a trial offer as I have already signed up with those bookies in the past).
    I have just finished 2 offers from their site and came up with £27 of profit.
    I couldn’t believe how easy it was (now when I know what I am doing and found this magnificent blog – big thanks to the author by the way – I will cancel that subscription:).
    It only took me about 30 minutes to go through the basics and I was able to place my very first matched bets. £27 for nothing hehe.
    Now I would like to make matched betting a part of my life but wanted to know how you guys deal with it.
    I did read a lot of guides and tutorials now so have some basic knowledge.
    I wanted to know what is your strategy.
    *First of all I am a bit worried that matched betting could leave some sort of bad footprint on my financial history. I do not want my bank to think I am a gambler and wasting money. What is the best way to avoid that situation? Do you know any reliable institutions offering a debit card but not necessarily a bank one???
    (I have already made a boo boo when doing these 2 sign up offers and now have 4 bookie operations showing in one same day on my statement for overall amount of £120 and it scares my a bit as my mortgage offer may need to be renewed in February so they will probably see the money going out on gambling)
    *Can my credit score/history get affected by signing up to to many bookies?
    *How many bookie accounts should I go for as I know it might be hard to maintain all of them and what are the best ones to follow?
    *How do you keep track of your profits? Do you use any software or a spreadsheet?
    A link to it if one like that exists would be appreciated.
    *Is there anything else I should think of as a beginner???
    All your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and good luck with ur matched bets.

    Hi.
    My case is that I got already approved for a mortgage once nearly 6 months ago. Now it soon will become invalid and I will have to reapply due to the house not being ready in time and the fact that this mortgage offer is a non extendable one. I got approved for help to buy scheme as well so my deposit combined with htbs is 25%.
    I tried to find out in my corespondence with the mortgage advisor what sort of documentation she needed first time when I applied and I think it was 3 months worth of payslips and my most recent bank statement dated only one month back (at least this is what I sent to her when she asked in one of emails).
    Funny thing is that at this stage now I am only waiting for my keys and thats me done. All my deposit money are with solicitor, I have picked and paid for my options, finally we have also exchanged contracts.
    Maybe nothing to worry about but it still go through my mind that something can go wrong…

    I have got no idea mate. That’s why I want my matched betting money somewhere else that in any bank.
    I can’t recall now if my mortgage advisor asked my about any of my bank details.
    I do not also know how banks check that kind of information.

    My advice is to keep your main bank account ‘clean’ for at least 3 months, though it’s always best to have a separate account for matched betting.

    Case in point – my bank reacted negatively to betting transactions (and turned us down for extra borrowing) and did not care about any ‘explanation’ offered! So be careful…
