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

If you're multi accounting, is it wise to change IP's when signing in on a different account?

It's not just wise, it's necessary.

If so, is there a really easy way to do that?

Most VPNs let you choose "regions" that have different IP's. I have three VPN's that I use (I forget the names) so have a range of about 15 UK based IP's I can choose from. You get the odd bookie though that doesn't like VPN's so you have to experiement a bit (Bet365 and Paddy Power seem to be the main cuplrits).

You see. I know I'm a member of a computer forum, but I have no idea about VPN's or things like that.
 
£47 made this week just doing the simple offers on one account, pity I missed the Watford Arsenal game, would have been over £50. £5 sky free bet and £2 for Costa's goal to start off next week :)
 
A friend of mine has made £550 this year, although he didn't give a time frame.

Does matched betting count as extra income, and thus affected by income tax? I'm aware that profit made on the stock market is affected by capital gains tax.

HoHo! :D make this week winnings £80.65. I just won £33.65 on Jackpot giant from 10 free spins at Willy Hill, got 2 bonus rounds to turn over the wagering :cool:
 
Back lay small odds/qualifying losses. In play wait for something above 4 back and lay calculate it as snr on a matched betting calculator make about 35 quid.

I got on over 0.5 goals 1.03/1.06 betfair £1.56 qualifying loss.

Any particualr VPN(s) you could recommend? I've never used them apart from Hola.
 
A nice bit of luck to start the week, used my £5 free sky bet, backed a horse at 8.5, he won and odds were rised to 9.0 as best odds guarantee, extra £2.50 :) Looking forward to the Bayern game.

Been looking at this site, seems a bit fake with the 20k claims etc. Any good?

Judge PA on anything but their front page. A few of my friends have been keen to know more information about matched betting but instantly get cold feet after seeing that splash page. It's a great site and community, well worth the money.

Heads up. The bet365 £50 in-play offer is on for tomorrow, love these offers.

That's outright gambling - not really what this thread is about. In the long term you'll make less than if you have backed and layed that free bet as per normal matched betting.

^^^ bear in mind he also spends 30 hours a week and has multiple accounts with family members etc.. so essentially it is like working in a rather boring job

people doing this now have basically missed the boat by over a decade - the time to do this was the early naughties when both bookies and casinos offered generous bonuses, offshore sites were more profitable anyway as they weren't so scared of taking deposits from US Citizens and you didn't need multiple accounts or be sad enough to spend 30 hours a week doing something so boring in order to earn a 5 figure sum, you might as well do a night shift stacking shelves at Tesco for 30 hours a week

Or you can simply take advantage of the big offers when you're watching football anyway and make a couple of hundred quid a month with very very little effort.
