Matched betting is a risk-free betting strategy that involves using promotional offers from bookmakers to cover all possible outcomes of a sporting event. By placing a bet on one outcome with a bookmaker and a corresponding bet against that outcome with another, you can ensure a profit regardless of the result. This method leverages free bets and bonuses offered by bookmakers, turning them into guaranteed returns through careful planning and execution. It relies on mathematical calculations rather than luck, making it a systematic approach to earning money from betting. You can make over £500 profit from just a few hours work!
Imagine we're betting on which side a coin will land on after it's flipped. Meaning you can either bet on Heads landing face up or Tails landing face up.
If we place a £10 bet on Heads, and it lands face up, we'd get £20 back, as the chances of the coin landing on Heads are 1 in 2.
If we place a £10 bet on Tails, and it lands face up, we'd get £20 back, as the chances of the coin landing on Tails are 1 in 2.
Instead of simply betting on Heads and potentially winning £10 but also risking losing £10, matched betting involves covering all outcomes of a bet to eliminate the risk of loss. So...
As you can see, we'd place £10 on Heads and £10 on Tails, totalling £20 spent. Therefore, regardless of the outcome, we'd make our £20 back. However, if the two £10 bets were free bets from promotions, we'd guarantee a £20 profit. We can apply this same principle to football games by covering a team's win, draw, and loss.
Now that you understand the basics of matched betting, it's essential to understand that real-life scenarios are rarely as straightforward as the example provided. While matched betting is simple in theory, it becomes slightly more complex in practice. The example relied on several unlikely assumptions such as:

Getting the hang of matched betting isn't too tough. By now, you probably get the gist of how we use free bets to make guaranteed profit.
In our video and notes below, we're diving deep into how matched betting really works. We'll break down the process and show you how our software makes it all a breeze. No headaches trying to keep track of everything — it's all about maximizing your earnings while keeping things simple.
Those of you already familiar with matched betting will notice something strange about our method outlined in the previous section: we didn’t place any lay bets! However, if you are new to matched betting and the term lay bet sounds like nonsense, all will be explained in the following section.
In lay betting, you're basically acting like the bookmaker instead of the bettor. When you place a lay bet, you're betting against a specific outcome. For example, let's say there's a football match between Team A and Team B. If you lay a bet against Team A, you're betting that Team A won't win the match. So, you win your lay bet if Team A loses or if the match ends in a draw.
Traditionally, lay betting involves two main steps. First, you place a "back" bet with a regular bookmaker, where you bet on a specific outcome, like Team A to win. Then, you place a "lay" bet on the same outcome, but this time through a betting exchange, where you bet against that outcome. The idea here is to cover all possible outcomes of the event, making sure you win no matter what.
Now, let's say we want to profit from Bet365's sign-up promotion, which is "bet £10 and get a £30 free bet"...
The first step is to place a £10 bet on Bet365 to unlock the free bet without losing any money. You can do this by placing a bet on Bet365 and then laying this bet on a betting exchange to safeguard your investment. Opting for a game with low odds, like Liverpool to beat Villa at 1.75, works best. With lower odds, the amount of money you need to lay on the exchange is less, saving you money upfront. For instance, placing a £10 bet on Liverpool to win yields a £17.50 return on Bet365. This means you're staking £10 at risk.
To balance this, you'll bet against Liverpool winning (lay the Liverpool win) on platforms like Smarkets. Now, to match Bet365's return of £17.50 on Smarkets, you'd stake £9.50. But to cover potential losses, you'll need to account for liability, which essentially means the amount you're charged to place the bet. In this scenario, it amounts to £7.98. So, for the qualifying bets round, you'll need to deposit a total of £17.98 but expect to make at least £17.48, leaving you just 50p down after this stage.
Next, we'd aim to use the £30 free bet to ensure a guaranteed profit. We'd follow the same steps as before, but because free bets don't return the stake, we'd need to place the bet on much higher odds to ensure a higher potential profit. Essentially, this means we'd require a larger amount of money to cover our potential loss.
For instance, if we place our £30 free bet on the draw between Manchester City and Tottenham with odds of 5, Bet365 would return £150. However, it's important to note that this image may show a return of £180, as it hasn't accounted for the stake not being returned.
So, currently, we could potentially make a profit of £150. However, to ensure guaranteed profit, we'd need to lay this bet. This means staking £22 against the draw to make a profit of £22. Consequently, we'd be liable for £127.56, emphasizing the need for more funds to cover the requirements of laying a free bet and its higher odds. Nevertheless, laying the draw secures a profit of £22.
As you can see this method works. We locked in £21.50 from an offer and could now withdraw the money from the accounts, and move onto new offers. This is fine, but is a there better way...
The normal matched betting process is to handle one account at a time, which makes the process much longer. Completing all recommended accounts could take months.
Simultaneous handling of each of these processes may require £1000s of to be tied up in betting exchanges to cover each lay bets liability.
For each individual account you have to find a suitable match to place a back and lay bet and keep track of your progress on each offer.
Yes! With Aiprofit we used money that would be tied up in betting exchanges to complete more offers, enabling us to be much more efficient with our money:
We handle multiple accounts simultaneously, allowing you to profit from and complete all accounts quickly.
Managing multiple accounts at once requires fewer initial deposits since they work together to cover all bet outcomes.
We track you progress, telling you exactly what to do at each step, so you know exactly what bet to place and how much, leaving little room for errors.
Our method involves using multiple accounts simultaneously to cover the outcomes of a game. This allows you to easily complete all the best promotions available within just one month's subscription. In contrast, other services require you to tackle one account at a time, meaning it could take a few months to complete all 20+ different accounts.
Our approach of using multiple accounts at once means we don't have to make any additional significant deposits to cover all possible outcomes, especially when it comes to the second (free) round of bets. By signing up for multiple accounts, we can cover the outcomes of a game across these different accounts.
These two factors combined allow you to leverage your membership to guide friends through the process. Completing all the accounts swiftly with minimal deposits means you can regularly advise your friends on which bets to place and then share their profits, resulting in substantial earnings from AI Profit.
Here at AI Profit, we have a unique approach. We want you to continue using your membership to help your friends understand the process. By advising your friends and sharing their profits, you can quickly earn thousands in extra income.
Other matched betting companies usually want you to stick around by teaching you how to make money from repeat promotions offered by betting companies. The problem is, these repeat promotions often don't bring in much profit, unlike the sign-up offers. That's why we suggest leveraging your subscription with AI Profit to advise your friends (in return for a cut of their profits), so everyone can share in much more substantial profits.
The best way to guide your friends on which bets to place is to have a chat in person, maybe over a coffee. If you're far apart, like because of university, hopping on Zoom or Skype works well too. And don't worry, we've got extra tips in our FAQs to help you avoid breaking any of the betting companies' rules.
This side hustle can be incredibly rewarding, especially once you get the hang of sharing it with your friends. As you become more comfortable with the process, you'll find it comes naturally. Plus, as you expand to mutual friends, the potential for profit grows. Just dedicating a few hours of your time can result in over £500 per person you advise to split between you!
