Welcome to the monthly Matched Betting Blog update. Each month I blog about matched betting and what matched betting offers I took part in. If you want to join me in making money from matched betting; I recommend signing up for a site like Profit Accumulator to guide you. I also use Smarkets for almost all of my bets as it has the lowest commission charge of all the major exchanges.
Annnnnnnd we’re back!
My apologies for the extended absence, back in September I became one of the millions of covid economic casualties when my job was made redundant. I therefore took a few months to focus on interviews and network building. It sometimes surprises people to hear that I do work full time alongside matched betting and I’m glad that can continue again as I started a new role this year.
February is typically a quieter month as bookies prepare for Cheltenham however this year I absolutely smashed it thanks to a couple of new tactics.
As always I continued ploughing through the daily low and medium-risk casino offers following the Bonus Accumulator lists. These are a great source of consistent profit with a fairly low variance. Offers like “Bet £10 get £2 free” may look like they’re not worth the effort but once you get into the routine you can smash these out very quickly every day for a respectable £50 per account per month average profit. Similarly offers like Betfred’s 25% refund every week all add up, especially if you have multiple accounts to help smooth the variance.
If you’re unsure about casino offers I very strongly recommend trying even just 1 month of trailing. Work your way through the signup offers which are amazing value and then take a look at the regular repeat stuff. In February just under half my total profits came from these low and medium-risk repeatable casino offers.
Extra Place Value
The new kid on the block is Extra Place Value (EPV) or Implied Value (IO) as it’s called by some guide sites. Both mean the exact same thing and are a new way of calculating the value from extra place horse races where more than one extra place is offered.
For example previously the bet finders would focus on the potential winnings if your horse hit an extra place. It didnt matter if the race had 1 extra places or 3, the value would show the same. Obviously if a race is paying 3 extra places then the actual value is a hell of a lot higher as you have more chances to hit that extra place. Sky often run this promotion, sometimes even going as far as offering 7 places instead of 4.
So the guide sites have now updated their matches to factor in these extra-extra-places and we’ve been soaking up the value. If you’re not already a member then take a look at Profit Accumulator for their updated matcher software.
I’ve even started seeing people hit multiple extra places in the same race. This lucky lady managed to get both 5th AND 6th places, netting over £200 in profit.
I’ve also seen people earning huge amounts on the place price boosts. In this race below Skybet were offering a massive 7 places instead of 4, giving you 3 shots at the sweet profit spot. PLUS they price boosted one of the horses in the race which only went and hit 7th. £550 profit for everyone that got on it:
I hope everyone is looking forward to Cheltenham in a couple of weeks. As always you can find me in the Matched Betting Guys & Girls Facebook Group.
