Without getting too deep, too soon, matched betting is where you turn bookmakers\u2019 free bets into real money. Here\u2019s a quick overview of how to do it:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Register with an online bookmaker (eg: Coral) who\u2019s offering a free \u2018welcome\u2019 bet. A welcome bet could be \u2018Bet \u00a310 and get a free \u00a310 bet\u2019.<\/li>\n
- Place your qualifying bet. This is actually made up of two bets. \u2018Back\u2019 an event to happen, like England to win, at the bookmaker. This is where the \u2018matched\u2019 bit comes in…At the betting exchange, \u2018Lay\u2019 England to not win (this means either a draw or loss). Now you\u2019ve covered all potential outcomes of the match. What this means is that you won\u2019t win any money, but you won\u2019t lose any either. What you have done, though, is unlock the free bet.<\/li>\n
- Use the same method as above to place your free bet. Again, you\u2019ll break even, but you\u2019ll actually have profited because you were using the free bet rather than your own money.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
