What is Matched Betting?

Matched betting is a technique used to profit from free bet promotions offered by bookmakers. It works by placing a bet at a bookmaker and then laying the same outcome at a betting exchange.

How it works:

  • Place a "back" bet at a bookmaker
  • Place a "lay" bet at an exchange to cover all outcomes
  • Small qualifying loss on the first bet
  • Use the free bet to make guaranteed profit
  • Repeat with different bookmaker offers

Note: Matched betting is legal but check your local regulations. Some bookmakers may restrict accounts that only use promotions.
