Does anyone ever worry about getting addicted to this?

So I'm obviously trying to earn more online and as a result I'm finding myself spending more and more time on matched betting, but in particular the slot/free spin offers, than I first envisaged I would. Now, I'm not saying I'm developing a problem with it or anything but it has got me thinking about the amount of time I'm devoting to doing this and whether or not it could become difficult for me to stop now I've started.

Bit of a stream of consciousness this but does anyone else ever worry a bit about getting addicted to the game of it all (so to speak)?

How do you take a break from it - or don't you?

I take a break all the time.
If im on holiday etc I just make sure I have no bets running that end while I am away and then pick it up back again when I return

In terms of the addictiveness of slots that’s not a problems I personally have but I’ve always looked at my Matched Betting kitty as being my “business money” and you wouldn’t want to frit that away!!

Yeah you're right. I dunno, I'm only noticing it in the last week or so but then I've been focusing more of my time into it so maybe that's why. Made £50 off the slots today so far though and did my first extra place bet which paid out another £20 or something!

I know! I think it might even be a bit more than that off today's horses but I've got little pots in different accounts and its hard to keep track at the moment. Still I'm not complaining at all! Just trying not to get hooked lol

I still have no idea what I'm doing with matched betting, I can do the initial offers but my brain can't wrap my head around the rest and I get bored with the slots hehe. I come back to it about once a year, scratch my head and forget about it again.

@jkg-jkg had already made a few grand this year ploughing through the reload offers - are you not tempted to take some time and come back to it properly - it’s worth it for all the money!!

I get tempted then confused again, I'll probably take another look at it again soon

@JesseEverAfter and @Ar_ , I used to think the same when I started in 2011, but it does make sense once you take it slowly.
May I ask what parts you find confusing about MBing?
