    OP - you make money doing "proper" betting not matched betting?

    Didn't think anyone ever won that way.....

    Got loads of bookies accounts from matched betting days. Made a good few £K once.

    Tell you what, you send me the money and I'll put bets on for you lol!

        My last perm job was at Ladbrokes, punters were classified depending on how much they win a standard punter is 1, they can bet a certain maximum amount (which is not revealed to the punter) a very frequent winner had a factor 0.1 meaning you can only bet 10% (some even had 0.01 which you may have) of the maximum amount, a very frequent loser factor 10 meaning you can bet 10 times more than the maximum amount.

          So basically, we welcome losers, winners please go elsewhere.

          A bit like CUK really.

            I've been following this tipster for a few years now, on and off https://simonstips.com/

            The biggest problem I have is getting the bookies to take the money. At one stage Ladbrokes wouldn't let me stake more than 93p on a horse. Paddy Power closed me down and refunded all the money left in the account.

            I was trying to get to £100 per horse and quit contracting (increasing the stake based on the winnings), but at around £40 per horse all the online bookies limited me so much it became hugely time-consuming.

            If you followed the tips he gave today, your bookie will start lifting your restrictions

                  I did consider having multiple accounts with each bookie but that came back to the 'so time-consuming to manage I'd be better off working' problem.
                  Maybe I should learn to script and automate it.
                  Have you done all the sign ups and the like with Profit Accumulator. I found their matching software quite good for taking the hassle out.
                  What happens in General, stays in General.
                  You know what they say about assumptions!

                    no. I'll have a look though. Thanks.

                      So, in the last week, you'd have staked around £3.4K and be a couple of hundred up.

                      Even Psychocandy gets more than that a week (assuming two nights and a Sunday overtime).
