We are in unprecedented times right now, and many of us are wondering how we can keep bringing in an income during these uncertain times. If you're looking for some matched betting advice, because you're concerned that you may not earn money doing it at the moment, then I'm here to help.
What is matched betting?
Matched betting is a legal and tax free way to utlise offers that bookmakers give to new and existing customers. These offers can be turned into a guaranteed profit thanks to matched betting. It has been around for years now, and even The Guardian have written about it.
The amount of money that people make from matched betting varies and is dependent on a few things. How much money you can put into your matched betting pot, how much time you have and how many accounts you are able to create all impact your matched betting earnings.

Is is still worth doing matched betting right now?
With lots of sporting events cancelled or postponed, you might be looking for matched betting advice right now, because you're wondering if it's still worth it.
My short answer is this: as part of a diversified stream of income, YES!
My long answer is:
Horse racing could still take place
The Grand National website states that the most likely outcome for that event will be that the race takes place behind closed doors. This means there won't be any spectators, but the race will still go ahead. This means that all betting will go on as normal and there may even be more offers than usual to compensate for the lack of football.
Ireland has already announced that racing there will continue behind closed doors, and so far racing in the UK has been allowed to go on even though Football has been postponed, so we're pretty confident this will remain the case.
Not all Football has been cancelled.
As it stands, the English National League is still going ahead, along with other foreign leagues like the Russian Premier League, Swedish Cup, Turkish Super League and Ukrainian Premier League, which means there's still some (although limited) options to place bets for your weekly bet clubs if you want to avoid horses. So my matched betting advice is: you should carry on!

Casino offers will likely improve
This does present an opportunity. The bookies are going to feel the sting from losing so much sportsbook activity, and we've already seen some bookies trying to push customers towards their Casino. We think it's very likely that we'll see a surge in Casino offers over the next few weeks, which should more than compensate for any loss of sportsbook offers. Casino offers are often quicker, easier and less hassle than sports offers, and they can be even more profitable.
