Match betting the Cheltenham was such a fun experience. I know it sounds a little geeky, but if you are anything like me and enjoy making a profit through something technically risk-free then you will completely understand where I am coming from.
Just as planned, I managed to make in excess of £1000 match betting Cheltenham Festival. To be exact I made £1037.65 in just 30 days. This works out at an amazing £34.59 every single day of the month. I couldn’t even dream of making over £30 a day tax-free six months ago, and now I have done it.
There is so much to bet on in the Cheltenham Festival as it’s spread out over 4 days with bookies offering daily deals and race special offers. Because there was so much to offer I managed to do 185 bets within the month meaning every bet I made was worth £5.61.
I said in last months blog that the Cheltenham Festival is like Christmas for someone who does match betting. Well, I can assure you that’s exactly how it feels. I was really surprised how much of a buzz I got from making the money and there is nothing better than doing something that is both enjoyable and profitable.
One thing I have never really mentioned on my match betting blog is which bookies I make the most money within a given month. For this month Sky Bet, 888 sport and Bet 365 were the most profitable bookies for me. Sky had a daily offer which you could guarantee a profit from, 888 had a refund on each race and Bet 365 had this amazing deal where if you selection won you would get a free bet. The Bet 365 offer was a really interesting one as you were not guaranteed a free bet, but if you backed and lay a close bet and it then goes on to win, you essentially make nothing from the bet but gain a free bet which you can then use to make a profit.
The offers I mentioned above are specifically for existing customers and can seem a little daunting at first. But I can assure you they are really straightforward. I am only 6 months into my match betting experience and I’m already doing horse refund offers. If this sort of thing interests you then I would strongly recommend you start match betting yourself.
