My huge matched betting win… £7,906.12!

While matched betting I completed a bonus on Sky Vegas, which required me to wager through spins on a slot machine. In return for doing so I was awarded a free bet. While playing my spins I got my balance up to £43, meaning I made a nice profit. I was really pleased with this for just a few minutes ‘work’. Not all offers work out this well of course – or we’d all be millionaires!

After I completed the offer I received my free bet. I made a nice return on this free bet, which had to be wagered through. I was close to finishing the wagering requirements so I played a fairly large spin so I could cashout. After reading the terms and conditions of the offer so I could stick within the rules. Then I hit a HUGE win! The end result was I won £7,906.12 thanks to a huge matched betting win!

How to make big money matched betting

Let me be clear, right from the off… I know my win was purely down to luck! I would never have had my huge matched betting win without matched betting! For me it was worth wagering in exchange for the free bet as the likelihood of making a profit was quite high.

I made a profit on the offer, before I even received my free bet. If I had decided not to complete this offer then I wouldn’t have had this year changing win!

You’re never going to just stumble across a mystery formula of how to win matched betting – as it is designed so that everyone wins – as long as you stick to the rules!

I can use their forum, to see how well people are doing from the offers, and calculate whether any of the risky ones are worth completing.

In June 2016, without this huge matched betting win, I made even more. I went on to make £15,000 in just 4 months with this huge matched betting win! Because I was new to quite a few casino / online bookmaker websites I was able to take advantage of a number of special offers.

How much can you earn matched betting?

It is had to put a price on it really, in £ amount, however, wih 3-5 hours per week I have previously made £100-300, depending on the offers available to me.

The amount that you can make depends on whether you have completed the new customer offers with the main betting websites and exchanges, however, why not give it a go? Any money made is great, as the returns versus time put in are pretty good in my opinion!

We used some of this money to replace some savings we had to use recently. I also paid for a couple of Centerparcs holidays, booked us some activities, treated us to a nice takeaway (still made sure we were able to save money on takeaways) and bought our lovely daughter some gifts too. I am so grateful to have this stroke of good luck.

Wow that's amazing Katy :)

I do matched betting too and sometimes do the slot offers. My biggest win is around £80. I think I was around 8p up after the sky Vegas offer lol.

Wow that is epic! I'm too much of an anti-gambling phobic to even try matched betting - I wonder what I'm missing eh?!
