Matched betting - who's done it and who's good at it? (No Referrals)

During the Euros I am making roughly £40 a quid with all of the different offers, and bookie scalping. I stay on football. Its an average over the tournament, sometimes I hit around £25 to £30, other days *usually when Bet365 comes into effect*I hit a lot more.
My normal daily activity is :
1)Ladbrokes is giving me around £7.50 a day
2)Coral around £7
3)Paddypower varies between £3.50 to £7
4)Around £5 a day from enhanced odds etc
6)The other bits comes from free bets I am getting emailed (past 10 days I have had emailed the following on top of the normal ones 2 x £10 WH free bets, 2 x £10 coral free bet, 1 x £5 pokerstars bet, 1 x £10 ladbrokes free bets , 1 x £5 Betbright free bet.
I have a theory why I am getting a lot of emailed free bets. Its because of the tipster challenges I do. I mentioned it in another post but I set aside £25 each month, and do the 11 bets to £1000 challenge. All of these bets are inplay of around 1.4. Sometimes I blow out early like I did this month, last month I made the grand.
This is gambling but my theory is that it makes me look like a MUG punter constantly playing INPLAY, I dont do every bet at the same bookie. But whatever algorithm the bookies are using must make me look like a MUG, so they give me free bets to 'come back'....the truth is I never left.
I have just started to dip into Each way and dutch searching, and you need a BIG exchange to truely take advantage, but I have been making around £20 to £35 a day with this since Monday. Easy as hell, and I bet early so I can (hopefully) get the money back in the exchange before the euros kick off in the afternoon.The more cash you have in the bookies, the easier it is to make money, this is my limiting factor at the moment. (i.e I made £25 yesterday on one bet, but the whole process of bets/lays on three bookies was about £500). As we all are we are putting a lot of trust in the tools and calculators that these premium sites provide.
Based in Asia I am roughly 5 hours ahead of you guys so I have the benefit of catching the early morning markets with the best prices.

Just reloads buddy.
Paddy are doing the MBS daily at the moment. I have picked up around £50 in free bets from this alone.
Betfred seem to randomnly do the £10 pre match bet (£5 in play offer) there was one today.
Long term Paddy do the 2nd place to SP horse refunds a lot. Which are a real money earner I believe, I just havent dipped into it yet.
How come?
After the Germany game tonight I'll have confirmed about £60 profit for today.
More than my average over my short time doing this. I think it's just been a day where I've used more free bets, whereas some days are more qualifiers so don't actually make as much profit as such.
I also used to do those facebook/twitter tipser challenges. The one I followed was pretty good but always seemed to over-advertise the rolling pot, basing it on bets of 1.4 when really they were usually more like 1.25. But still, I made at least 150 profit overall I think and although it is gambling, I reckon you could continue to turn a profit if you commit for the long term and cashed out at a definitive point.
I am now converted to matched betting though, but perhaps I'll have a punt on the tipsters to look more like a mug as has been said.

Most of them start with £25 so you can effectively blow out on bet 1, and it is gambling because I NEVER lay the bet.
What I tend to do is break that amount up between different tipsters on different bets. A bit more work, but it means I lessen my chance of blowing out on bet 1, also makes me MUG across different bookies.

Crap odds, very limited markets, and it looks like it's the result of a colouring in competition.
I keep getting texts offering double odds on correct scores, might be able to lay those for shorter odds and make a profit. Not really looked into it.
Yes wincashlive probably the worst site I have seen.Not got my free bets from them yet, once I do I'll see what I can get out of them and probably give them a miss from then on.
How quickly do bwin normally give the free bet?
Says allow 24 hrs. Hope they are quicker than that
Also, for wincashlive check out the inplay markets. I got a £20 free bet on the germany match at half time at something like 1.97/2.0. Got £9.74 into my betfair account.

I am in the same position, over £200 liability gone from Betfair.
Did you place all free bets on one market as I have just realised this is against their terms and conditions!
I just did one £20 bet on draw 4.2/4.2 as I'm always picking winners when laying, no way I wanted triple digits of my money with wincashlive
