What happens when you run out of introductory offers? Will doing enough mug bets keep your bonus bets going so you still make a profit?

After you've completed all the sign up offers you just need to keep checking the website and completing the reload offers.

If you are not too greedy taking arbs when matching your bets, and throw in some low stake mug bets now and then, then you will get a lot longer out of all your accounts, and make a lot more money.

I've not been doing this for long myself, but have read a lot the discussions in the private forums and that is what the general consensus seems to be among the longer term members who make the big bucks.

Some great reload offers already confirmed for today from Bet365 and some others, plus hoping Ladbrokes are going to do their in play one too with any luck. There's an easy £50+ profit just from 2 reload offers that will take me less than 15 minutes to complete. :D

Yup, the Utd - Chelsea £50 risk free is worth around £35 on it's own and WH's Bet £20 get a free in-play £10 will net about another £7.

I have a lot of money tied up in about 5 mugs today for a total combined loss of about 50p, but it keeps the accounts healthy, especially given 3 of these mugs are with Paddy who are apparently notorious for barring those who solely take up offers.

Honestly, not that much, I've put about an hour of combined effort in for all my mugs and maintenance today and that's the most time I've really spent on it in the one sitting. I only made about £55 last week as it was very quiet up until boxing day and I wasn't really doing it. Then there were offers put up from Ladbrokes and William Hill regarding £10 worth of free spins and £10 video poker risk free, so I took them up and took £65 profit and £30 profit respectively.

Because of funds and the length of time it takes for money to jump from account to account, that actual matched betting and signups have been slow as well. I could have been about £80 even better off if I had stuck completely to the rules and not went my own way for the last Bet365 £50 risk free, and mugged a couple of my free in-play bets as I was already well up on the respective days.

I'll get a better grip of where I am when it comes to going back to work. I'd say investing 30 mins to an hour a night will yield good results though.

I also find I'm gambling my own money a hell of a lot less. The odd quid or two here and there as bookies love daft accumulators. I must have bet about £8 of my own cash over the course of the week gone by, which is less than a Champions League night's betting (and losing) for me.

How much time have you been putting in to get 330 quid risk free in a fortnight?

I wonder how much time the Profit Accumulator boys spend to get £150 a year from 10 thousand punters. They must have spent a fair bit of time setting up the site, but £4000 a day for listing bookies special offers looks a sweet deal.

Only just stumbled on this thread. I did a bit of matched betting in my student years about ten years ago. At the time I made a small profit, nothing significant but didn't fully capitalise at the time for a number of reasons; low income restricting cash flow and sticking to only a few better known bookies. I was eventually barred by PP for only ever using their offers, and fell away from it over time.

I've just started back on it after reading this thread on Boxing Day and so far I'm £140 up with a fair bit to come from tonight's EPL matches. Now that I have a better capital I'll be able to generate a faster return.

Mug bets are important if you don't want to make the mistake I did with PP. a couple of £5 accys midweek and on a Saturday with PP, Bet365, WH, 888sport etc will be well worth the loss in the long run.

Yup. They certainly are. I stuck a few small accumulators unmatched and several tenner and twenty quid matched bets on matches that weren't on offer. Losing about 10-25p per bet but it is helping to build a good profile.

I can't get into the horse racing. Apparently there is a lot of money in that side but the market is very fluid and fast moving.

Casino offers have yielded lots of rewards for me, non risk and very low risk. I just cashed out £28.50 up on BetFair and their tenner risked tenner bonus offer. Brings my total clear profit to £418.50 since I started on the 13th December. That was despite doing very little in the first week due to the pain of the slipped disc in my back affecting concentration levels.

I've been doing some reading on this and am thinking about getting involved.

A lot of the sites I've had a look at seem to make it look quite complex, would anyone here mind giving it a brief 'idiots guide' type process to describe it with an example of a full bet?

Thanks

1. Deposit £10 in bookie and bet on a football game

2. Lay that bet off at betfair

3. Regardless of the outcome you will make a small loss (50p-£1)

4. Receive £10 free bet from bookie

5. Again, lay it off

6. You should walk away £8-9 up

How did you all go about signing up to bookies that your already signed up with?

I was thinking that, they're getting tighter about proof of identity these days. I guess they've got friends and family who don't mind their identities being used. I'd have thought the IP address and way of paying could be a potential problem though.

Anyone know how to get round the likes of YouWin who don't accept UK customers? Could I just make up a random foreign address?

You'll need to go through a proxy site in an eligible country. I was stopped from using McBookies and Bet365 in Spain, probably because they're based in Gibraltar. Paddy Power were fine though. YouWin probably have to reject customers from the UK based on IP addresses, they might not be arsed if your home address and bank is in the UK.

I just tried again. I didn't risk WH and 365 as I already have a good rep with them. I managed to sign up again with Paddy, Ladbrokes and 888 as I have a new card since registering with them.

Others like Coral, Betfred and SkyBet had none of it.
