Hi everyone, just joined themoneyshed as I enjoyed reading the info on here and now I'm looking for some reassurance.

Aside from one mistake where I used £5 of s free bet accidentally when I thought my qualifying bet hadn't been placed, I've been working on the matched betting for a week now. I had around £100 to play with and I'm otherwise pretty broke so used that to start me off. To be honest, now I feel that I've got the hang of the process, I just feel really frustrated. I hardly win on the exchange so have been waiting days for money to withdraw from my back bets at the bookies. Aside from this, I had to wait about 3 days for betfred to add a free bet to my account and live message them repeatedly.

Sorry if this post is too long, I just want to know if this is normal in the beginning? I was all geared up and ready to go, but with money spread out in different accounts and small wins overall it just doesn't seem to be as amazing as I expected so far! Can somebody promise me it will get better?

Hi @The3gambas

Great to have you on here and posting

Yes this is normal don't worry! I started with only £50 and it was like pulling teeth at the start hoping that your bets end up in the Exchange lol

Don't worry, you'll have you bankroll to £1000 before you know it!

Yes this is very normal .

Really frustrating, but there is not much you can do. unless you want to invest more money in your bank

It's why you hear people celebrating a win at the exchange and annoyed at wins with the bookie.

You will soon have the battle chest at the exchange you need to do the offers and enjoy the spoils of MB

I was really lucky with my first 5 or 6 bets in that I won every time at the exchange. Now it's the opposite - have won about 10 in a row at the bookies and it's slowed me right down. Just takes one win at the exchange though to put your balance up enough to fund you for a wee while.
