Well after completing all the sign-up bonuses that the various bookmakers offer I ended up with just under £2000, for doing not-a-whole-lot. I know there is another technique called arbing but it seems like there's very little return considering the risk and the headaches it can cause.
So, I've been trying to convince my friends and relatives to get into matched betting. Pretty much all of them declared that they just couldn't be bothered to go to the trouble. Admittedly, I anticipated that they would say this so I offered them the chance to use my own capital to gain all the qualifying bets and cover all the lay bets, as well as do all the leg-work, but most of them refuse. I realize that I'd be using their identity but I'd be there with them, but they wouldn't have it. I mean, they wouldn't even get into talking about what each cut would be.
Has anyone managed to convince people to do this? Seems to me like people think it might be too good to be true, lol.
