What is the best way to boost your income from mb doing the bet x get a free bet of x doesn't make much I find it hard to understand how people make thousands a month. I understand that the Accas are helpful in achieving more money but I've tried this and I can't get my head around how they work so is there other ways of boosting my income.

There are basically 2 key ways for people to earn thousands a month.

Include Casino offers that aren't risk free. Casino offers can give decent profits and on rare occasions, very large windfalls - I nearly always make more from Casino offers than Bet offers in a month. However, it's a rollercoaster, it's a bummer when you have to eat a big loss on an offer. It does all average out in the long term though, so you just have to keep reminding yourself about that bit!

You take the 'Walmart' route. No, a single Bet X, get FB might only bag you £3-4, so in isolation, it's not a lot of money. If you're doing 10, 20 offers a day, then collectively it is. It's worth noting though that some offers, like 2 Up, scale. Those who bet £200 on a game will get a better return than those who bet £20, so the bigger the bank roll, the better the rewards.

Yes a lot of people make a lot of money through having a big bankroll and getting on every good match for 4 Means More, 2 UP etc with massive stakes, as the returns can be huge when they come in.

One bugbear of mine incidentally - doing casino offers that aren't risk-free is NOT matched betting. I'm not saying it doesn't earn people a lot of money, I know it does, but it's a different thing and whilst the odds are often massively in your favour, it's still gambling in reality.

Conflating the two puts some people off true matched betting where the beauty is you can't lose.

I always look at it this way

I'm not randomly spinning on slots
I'm only doing offers that i understand and am using the slot machine with this highest RTP%

If there isn't an offer I don't spin the slot lol

Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking it at all. I think it's often worth doing it for those that do understand, but it feels like it should have a different name!

Agree with you, up to a point. But I think the genuinely risk free offers can be mentioned alongside matched better. For example, William Hill have 30 seconds of free spins every day this week on certain slots on William Hill Vegas. Just spin the slot as many times as you can in 30s seconds and any winnings are yours to keep. No catch. https://vegas.williamhill.com/en-gb/promotions

I joined a couple of the matched betting sites but found them too confusing. I couldn't work out what I was supposed to be doing! I do get a free tip for the bookies quite often that always seem to win, but I only go £5 max.

Yeah absolutely, that's why I said offers that aren't risk free. People talk about EV as if it's science, rather than probability.

In reply to posters asking about strictly MBing and more risky stuff, I look at it as diversifying: horde refunds, price boosts, 2UP, High5, DDHH, enhanced multiples, sharing, free spins and casino, ACCAs etc

Just as a canny investor might balance equities, bonds, cash, property, p2p, hedge funds, and so on.

I used to be extremely risk-averse and not even take 5p qualifying losses lol, but you can speculate a small percentage on EV+ offers to diversify.
