I hit 11k yesterday and have today been able to apply and pay for the 4 hour exam in
September that, if I pass, will qualify me as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), completely self funded, thanks to my profits. I signed up (with OP originally) in August 2022 and used my early profits on a £500 ish training course, one of many hoops to jump through in order just to apply for the exam. There have been others I’ve needed to pay for and complete too and without match betting there’s just no way I would have been able to (almost) fulfil my goal.
I totally love the community and genuine support here after signing up with OM last summer. I suspect with the months of revision I’ve got ahead my profit rate may slow, but it’s been a fabulous source of additional income so far and has given my and my children lots of amazing opportunities. Keep up the good work everyone!
