Probably a couple of hours each weekday, all day Saturday and a few on Sunday.


That's very nice. That's a pretty high income for what sounds like a 50% work week. What do you do otherwise?

No idea, completely forgot about this.

I've since stopped kindle publishing (for now) and coaching (likely for good) and instead started a small affiliate marketing business.

Income for this month is roughly:

Affiliates: £350
Matched Betting: £6300

Was this just a really good month for matched betting or is that how much you usually make per month?

That was an exceptional month with the world cup, darts championship and a really good casino win. Typically I average around £2k per month.

Is it difficult to learn? For someone who has no idea about betting and sucks at maths? Do you need a UK bank account and a UK address? I need to get my gf to do this...

We have a discussion thread for it here:

Take a read through the opening post there and try the free trials for one of the guide sites. I personally recommend Profit Accumulator for beginners.

Yes, I invest and build house equity. Currently about 40k in shares, 150k in equity and about 30k in cash used for matched betting.

Late ( Again)

At the end of august I made just over £3000 from matched betting, £300 from affiliates and a shocking £4 from kindle books i published years ago and have forgotton about.

I contributed an extra £7700 to investments and made £233 in returns.

Current plan is to save up cash to make a maximum (10%) mortgage overpayment on Janurary 1st and keep investing the ISA up to the £20k annual limit.

It would take too long to work out sales per individual book. I get about 35 a day in total sales.


What sort of kindle books do you publish, are these novels, mysteries?

I havent published any for years now, the ones i did publish are still making very occasional sales. They were all non-fiction, factual guides etc.

Wow, I had totally forgotten about this thread! Started 8 years ago, last updated 3 years ago.. lots of change.

Of the original 4 income streams I have now stopped all but the Matched Betting.

I have continued investing with a majority stored in ISA wrappers to give tax free gains. Given the high levels of inflation and lowish interest rates I have stopped mortgage overpayments.
