Matched Betting - First week

Well its only half a week really.

Prior to starting  I had read the intro guides on Oddsmonkey to get an understanding of backing and laying bets

Started early on a Wednesday morning - 45 ish minutes in total whilst having my morning coffee before leaving for work.

Signed up with Oddsmonkey Premium and started following the new bookmaker offer guides for Coral and William Hill - nice easy start, majority of my time was filling in sign up forms and making first deposits - then I signed up for Betfair exchange - then it was time to qualify for my freebets.

This was done with the Oddsmonkey Odds Matcher tool- found 2 bets to back that after laying them on Betfair would net me about 50p AND more importantly qualify me for £50 worth of freebets

Coral was no bother, but I made a mistake with the William Hill sign up where Id picked the wrong code :-( after making the bet I had no free bets! So I had to contact their customer services, turned out that the code I used needed the qualifying bet to be made on a Boxing Match!!! This had gone very wrong!

So, deep breath, and had to try and find a qualifying match manually! Using the calculator on OM I found a combo that would lose me about 80p but would let me qualify for the £30 bets from WH... crisis averted!

After all the freebets done (via the oddsmatcher tool) Id made about £40 profits from Coral and WH

This week I also signed up for offers from

Ladbrokes due to another mistake on my part I only got about £15 from the £50 free bet

SunBets - I only qualified my bet in this time - so have a £10 free bet ready for week 2

First weeks (Well 5 days running to sunday) returns : £111.88 for probably around 4 hours worth of effort! And thats AFTER paying for oddsmonkey too!
