Is Matched Betting Still Working and WorthWhile in 2017?
Many people do matched betting. During a recent and very in depth look at the various examples of Betfair trading software, something came up that has been on my radar for some time. Whilst I had followed the rumours, I was somewhat surprised to see that Betfair had finally merged with bookmakers Paddy Power to form Paddy Power Betfair PLC. Combine this with the news that Ladbrokes and Gala Coral may finally be merging and the landscape of bookmakers and betting exchanges...

I recently published a review of a product called 2 minute trader, and as I was testing the product it got me thinking about the arbing market, and matched betting niche, which has come up for a lot of scrutiny recently. As I was reviewing 2 minute trader product for testing, which I think will be launching soon (now launched), I remember a few comments and emails I had received recently, and also some Facebook comments I had read about the issues many people are starting to...

Read More...Online Betting Exchanges vs Online Bookmakers The Differences and Pros and Cons
When it comes to placing bets there are fundamentally two options that are open to you. These are betting exchanges and bookmakers (for the purposes of this article, when I say bookmaker I am generally referring to online and high street bookies). Both of these operate in massively different ways and so comparing and contrasting the two options can be difficult, but through examining the pros and cons, it is my intent to decide which options works best for different types of...

First launched all the way back in 2005 by a then relatively fledgling Peter Webb, Bet Angel is a piece of software for trading on betting exchanges. Since then Peter Webb has worked hard to ensure that Bet Angel continues to be the best, consistently updating the software as new customer requests come in and new technologies emerge.

What is Matched betting? I have for some time been considering what are the best and easiest ways to make money online? This isn’t always a difficult thing to answer as most methods either come with a lot of inherent risk or require a huge amount of time and effort in order to get started making a profit. Matched betting is different, as I will explain. One way is taking advantage of something known as matched betting, a simple enough (once you’ve gotten to grips with...
Read More...Is Gambling Tax Free In The UK, and Do You Have To Declare Winnings?
A question I get asked a lot, is whether Betfair trading profits, or gambling winnings are really tax free in the UK; and it is a very good question, because we are all usually aware of what needs to be declared to the Inland Revenue, but is gambling really tax free? There has been quite a few shifts in law from the UK Inland Revenue over recent years on whether punters actually pay tax from any winnings from bookmakers, trading activities, (Forex) or from Betfair. I suspect...
Read More...Profit Genie Review, is it worth joining over other services?
Profit Genie is a website that started earlier this year in 2015, by a lady called Sally Brealey, that has started on the back of the matched betting phenomenon. The website is: www.profitgenie.co.uk, and it actually has a very familiar outlay, with first impressions being that it is almost a carbon copy of Profit Accumulator. The reason I say the website looks similar, is because it does; and I suspect, like many others now entering the matched betting arena, the business...
