It is fair to say that my matched betting income has changed my life! It gave me the confidence to quit my job and pursue blogging as a full time career, which I have been doing since November 2015. In fact, within two short months I had fully employed my husband and now we are living the lives we truly want. Matched betting is a way to make some serious guaranteed profit by utilising the free bet offers that bookmakers offer. It has turned into one of my favourite side hustles because it is tax free and risk free, and I earned £12,000 in 12 months through matched betting. Sometimes we all need a helping hand when it comes to matched betting, which is why I have created a free monthly matched betting calendar.

Matched betting is a way to make some serious guaranteed profit by utilising the free bet offers that bookmakers offer. It has turned into one of my favourite side hustles because it is tax free and risk free! Even The Guardian have written about matched betting. People often ask me “if matched betting is so good, why isn’t everyone doing it?” – and I have addressed some of the popular questions in a blog post.

Great idea as usual! Thanks Emma, I have a mental checklist of my daily ‘must do’s’ but this is brilliant!
Hi Emma, i started matched betting a month ago, and am just finishing the sign up offers and moving to reloads….When you say you look through your emails for offers, what do you do in terms of mug betting?….do you do a couple of mugs then do the offer?……
I try to build mugging into my matched betting routine, not just around offers. Hope that helps!
Could I ask how much time you roughly would spend on doing this? does it need to be a full time job to get this kind of money?
Nope, it doesn’t need to be a full-time job. A few minutes every day should do it once you’re confident you know what you’re doing. x
