I always get a week to ten days off at Christmas which is nice, some more time to spend with the family and relax. This year, that also meant a bit more time to spend on match betting. This month I broke up from work a little earlier giving me a full 11 days off work and as the whole office shuts down for Christmas it meant there was no way I would be called in or required to do anything.
Chrismas itself didn’t bring any special match betting offers, however you do tend to get some extra ITV races and more premier league games to bet on. The upside is that I also have a bit of extra time to get osm qualifying bets on, to try and win a few extra free bets.
I have also recently become a premium member for one of the bookies. They basically see me as a premium punter and as a result, I get all sorts of extra offers thrown at me. I have now been a premium player for 2 weeks or so, but I am taking it slow, building up the number of offers I hit and the volumes I go for each time. I don’t want it to look like I am just taking all the value from them straight away as that might make it obvious that I am a match betting enthusiast. The offers do look encouraging though, there is a weekly in play football offer and potentially some huge free bets to earn from the upcoming darts.
I was a little disappointed this month with my profits. I did put in some extra time and effort, which didn’t translate into extra income. In December I made £512 match betting. This is just above my £500 monthly target, but with the extra time off work and effort put in, I thought I would be able to get closer to £600 / £700 for the month.
Next month I will start to bet a bit more on the premium player account I mentioned above. They appear to have some outstanding weekly offers as well as a potentially lucrative darts offer that begins early in In Jan. My new years’ resolution will be to up the effort and aim to make closer to £600 a month for the whole of 2017.
