We all know that gambling is risky; everyone's familiar with that simple fact of life. If you want to get into professional betting, you likely want to find a way to lower the risk of losing. A popular tactic for this is the so-called matched betting. If you did any research, you probably have seen or heard the term dozens of times. But what does it mean? Is match betting so profitable? And how do you use it properly? Our little blog post on matched betting should answer all that. And some.
Matched betting is a type of betting in which the player tries to cover all outcomes of a particular event/match by taking advantage of free promotions. In short, the logic behind this tactic is that you'll always get back at least part of your money. Every betting website gives you a free bonus when you first sign up, right? There are also free bet promotions to join. You take some of those promotions and bonuses, use them to bet on different game outcomes, and voila, you have a matched bet.
There are two types of matched betting: back betting and lay betting. Before you can start placing money on different teams and games, you need to be familiar with these two;
Backing - When you look at a game, you automatically have an idea of an outcome. Call it intuition or gut feeling - support is when you bet on that exact game outcome.
Laying - Then we have lay betting. That's when you do the opposite: go against your instincts and bet on what you believe won't happen.
These two are combined when you are trying to place a matched bet.
You now understand how matched betting works. Now you need to learn how to make it work for you. Below, you can find five tips that will help you start making matched bets. In no particular order, let's begin.
You can't stick to a single platform if you want to make money with matched betting. At any given moment, you must have at least 5-6 betting websites you're actively using. That way, you'll have access to multiple offers and bonuses every month.
Bankroll management is critical in the world of betting. You need to create a separate email address and open a new bank account to make matched bets. That will make keeping track of bonuses and wins much more accessible.
Betting is a game of numbers. You must check, double-check, and sometimes triple-check the numbers before putting down bets. In match betting, all outcomes need to be covered. If you make a mistake, you can lose money, which is the last thing you want.
Lowering the risk of losing is your main concern, correct? Then try not to get sucked into pure gambling. You're playing for profit. The margins might be small, but they're there, and more importantly, winning is guaranteed. You must resist putting money on "gut feeling" bets that won't guarantee anything.
The key to making money in matched betting is spreading your bets. That's where having several accounts will come in handy. You get the offers, cover all game outcomes, and then move on to another.
You thought that betting wouldn't guarantee anything? Then I don't remember you trying matched betting. You don't need to know anything about a sport, match, or team to make money. Use the offers, cover all outcomes, and collect your winnings. Have you heard anything simpler?
We're concerned about problem gambling. For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem that continues even after the fun has gone.
Compulsive gambling is not easily detected. The person with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths to cover up the problem and will appear to look all right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.
Warning Signs. Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering from a gambling problem include:
Losing time from work or family due to gambling.
Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts.
Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
Neglecting the care of one's self or family in order to gamble.
Lying about the amount of time and money spent on gambling.
Gambling more money in an attempt to win back losses.
Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to gamble.
Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of gambling.
