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

Keep hearing people mentioning Mug bets. Based on what i've been told by people working on the IT side of the betting sites mug bets are likely to speed up grubbings.
Even with mug bets your placing them with the intention to just take a small QL, this is exactly what bookies are look at. They are comparing their odds with the exchange odds and when they see a pattern where the two are constantly very close this flags your account to be inspected closer.
 
Never mug bet really! Just try and bet on big games if i can and matches that are more likely to lose.

Out of interest, what are you all matched betting for? Saving for something?
 
Got a bit of spare time over the next couple of months so thinking of starting this up again. Most of my accounts got gubbed after the Euros (holy **** it's been 2 years already?!) and since then I've moved house twice. What are my chances of starting new accounts like with a new email address and new bank account?

What's the go-to site nowadays? I did all mine with PA but definitely found it was deteriorating towards the end but I don't know if that was down to decreasing offers or larger (i.e worse) community.

Problem is I'm not 100% sure which accounts got gubbed. Rather than try log in on them I think I'd probably be best just going for new accounts everywhere?

After finding out how ludicrous it could be a few years back I'm more than willing to pay ££ for a membership somewhere to make it as easy/time efficient as possible and dump a fairly big starting stack into it.

I have had mixed results with moving house/new accounts, I think you won't get far past registration or verification so worth a punt.

Do you not have the email account linked to the gubbed accounts? As most should have sent a "information about your account" email (the recent spate of GDPR emails with similar subjects kept me on high alert :p).

I am still a member of PA and love it though I am on the old pricing structure, you will find plenty here who also rate Odds Monkey and Yes Bets - personally I think you are fine with either of the big 3.

A quick update on offers; some of the big intro offers have lowered their amounts (e.g. bet365 and 10Bet now £100 each) but new ones pop up here and there so should be some profit to be made since you stopped, horse reloads still going strong, assume ACCAs are as well but don't really do these and probably the most popular sport offer is 2UP (bet365 and Paddy Power) which is luck of the draw but can bring in huge profit.

I may have deleted a lot of them as I can't find many at all in my emails. Got very few GDPR emails from bookies too which surprised me considering the amount that must have had my email.

I'll give it a go and see what happens, not interested in spending massive amounts of time seeking big money so even if I only get access to some of the lower intro offers and a few recurrings I'll be happy. I had big success with casino offers last time, mostly "low risk" rather than "no risk" so maybe I can get lucky with those again!
 
Casino offers are ridiculous, my cousin can pull in thousands a month and someone else on this thread earns a lot from it. These are often the high risk offers though, don't have the canjones for them yet.

I don't go for big offers but an average week with Saturday horse reloads, a couple of 2UP games, untapped intro offers and other bits and bobs have tided me over quite nicely :).

Process:

Start with Santander.

In a few months, switch to Halifax, get £75-£125 switching bonus.

Then switch to Tesco for 3% interest, or TSB for 5% interest (look closer at this one, dunno about the specifics).

I'm back at Halifax at the mo and they're great.
 
Been about 6-8 weeks since I did any matched betting, logged into some accounts to take advantage of the World Cup freebies and I've already had £180 worth of bonuses just handed to me in addition to what I was logging in for. It's going to be a good month folks.

also try and keep your account separate from your every day one as excessive betting can damage your credit rating if you ever need it.

Yep, this cannot be expressed enough. Banks look at bank statements come mortgage time so if you still need to apply for one at some point keep that in mind.
