Matched Betting continues through Christmas

It may have been Christmas last week but I have continued matched betting taking advantage of three £50 matched bets on offer from one of the accounts I opened earlier in the month. It was simply a case of wagering £50 five times to unlock each free bet and over two weeks I turned this into £86.42 profit.

I should have made a lot more but I gambled some of the free bet on a Chelsea win by over-laying with the following possible outcomes:

	Betfair	Bookmaker	Total
Chelsea win	-£11.06	£12.50	£1.44
Draw / West Ham win	£43.70	-£50	-£6.30

Of course Chelsea duly drew this game leaving me £6.30 poorer and questioning when I will ever learn that there is no such thing as a sure fire bet.
