The 2017/18 footie season’s starting and there’s one thing everyone wants to know. And that’s how to make money from football betting, of course. It’s not surprising, seeing as how football betting is one of the most profitable sports markets.

In this post, we’ll look at how you can make money from football betting with OddsMonkey and matched betting.

How to make money from football betting

If you’re sick of losing when placing your weekly acca, or you’d like to make a bit of extra money this season, you’ve come to the right place. Betting on football can be highly lucrative…if you know what to do…

What is matched betting?

Without getting too deep, too soon, matched betting is where you turn bookmakers’ free bets into real money. Here’s a quick overview of how to do it:

1. Register with an online bookmaker (eg: Coral) who’s offering a free ‘welcome’ bet. A welcome bet could be ‘Bet £10 and get a free £10 bet’.
2. Place your qualifying bet. This is actually made up of two bets. ‘Back’ an event to happen, like England to win, at the bookmaker. This is where the ‘matched’ bit comes in…At the betting exchange, ‘Lay’ England to not win (this means either a draw or loss). Now you’ve covered all potential outcomes of the match. What this means is that you won’t win any money, but you won’t lose any either. What you have done, though, is unlock the free bet.
3. Use the same method as above to place your free bet. Again, you’ll break even, but you’ll actually have profited because you were using the free bet rather than your own money.

David’s story

Self-employed web developer, David, found that there were times when he was struggling to pay the bills. He also found himself with a lot of time on his hands. The work wasn’t consistent and he was often waiting for the phone to ring. Dead time in money-making terms!

David needed to find another source of income. Something that was flexible enough to fit around his day job. It also had to be worth it and generate a meaningful second income.
