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

If you take value you win in the long term, thats what value means, you are betting on 100% or more returns.

There is no value in 2 ups, they have already factored the cost into the odds. Look at all the bookies that offer 2 up they have enhaced odds without the 2 up included.

The gambling industry is a con, but so are the people who run the matched betting sites, they have all been stake limited and banned from promotions so they try to make money by charging gullible newbies £x a month.

Also arbing is probably the quickest way to get limited if you are using an oddsmatcher, if you are using an oddsmatcher other people will be using the same one and the bookies can easily spot a flurry of bets on some obscure match or event.

Yup, someone months/years ago was in denial about this but bookies ban or limit winners*, I think it's pretty shady how they do that and shouldn't really be allowed, if they're happy to take X amount at Y price then it shouldn't matter who the customer/counterparty is.

*winners being simply people who win in the long run, so yes taking value.

The rare exception is when someone perhaps gets very lucky and lands a big win out of pure luck that puts their otherwise ordinarily losing betting into the green.
 
Bookies love mug betters who dont even know what an exchange is and take terrible matches. They dont always ban after big wins. When im doing 2ups ive had bets on big outsiders win and im still going £200 at odds of 18 etc. Ive also won £500 on a 10p free spin and i still have that account.
Ive been gubbed by a few bookies after a couple of bets.
Its mostly just luck whether they get you or not
 
The first bookie I signed up to 18 months ago was Ladbrokes, I won £1100 from the £40 casino bonus after the required rollover, was £1500 up at one point. They limited me 18 months later due to a £5 bet on a darts match where they had obviously mispriced the odds, they probably just took a swipe and limited everyone who had placed a bet on the same player. I kew it was down to that because it was about 5 minutes after I placed the bet and they had corrected the odds by then, wouldn't mind but it was only 10% over.
