The term matched betting by definition is a form of arbitrage that allows you to generate risk free profits by using free bets with online betting exchanges. Using an appropriate strategy you should be able to compound a decent amount of profit within the regions of £700 to £1000.
To implement a matched betting method you will need to open a bookmaker account with a free bet promotion, (a free list of bets is available at free bookmaker bets )and a betting exchange account such as betfair or betdaq.
The system works by placing a bet at the bookmaker and then laying (betting against) it off at the betting exchange, when using this method all your doing is hedging your bets in such a way that eliminates risk allowing you to have a risk free bet. The value in this betting method exists because of the ‘free bets’ entity. If online bookmakers were to stop offering them tomorrow this type of risk free bet would become obsolete.
