Matched betting

[RetroPug]

So essentially it's borderline fraud.

My preference, instead of matched betting, is to simply use the free bets and bet on things with crazy low odds that are almost guaranteed to happen eg. a team to win at football in the 80th minute when they are 3-0 up. If you do lose, no worries, it was free. Then you can withdraw all of the free bets once you've used them to win about 2p.

I don't understand why you would prefer to do this when you could make so much more by matched betting?

Because instead of converting most free bets into cash you convert all of them into cash if it goes your way. It is more risk (you're risking only free bets anyway and betting on the lowest risk outcomes on the site), but with more reward, and it takes a lot less time. Or am I missing something?

Sounds to easy there must be some catch?

didn't think you could withdraw monies won from free bets?

You usually have to play with free bets one or more times to withdraw the winnings, hence the method of matched betting which is playing two free bets against eachother to guarantee you win one of them and then get to withdraw that money.
