If you’re just getting started with matched betting, you will have seen that using a betting exchange, such as Betfair Exchange, is essential. 

But how is a betting exchange different to a regular bookmaker? And how do you effectively use a betting exchange?

This in-depth guide will answer all of your questions and help get you started backing and laying.

We are commonly asked how much you can make from matched betting.

…Or more specifically…

“How much profit have YOU made?“

We rarely comment on exactly how much we make – although you can read about our record month if you’re interested to see us at our best.

After we clear that up, the vast majority of people are usually pretty interested in knowing more.

“So how much money can I make?!“

Once people realise how much money is possible from this simple process, things usually get pretty exciting.

…And why wouldn’t they? We were all there once.

How much you can earn from matched betting depends on a few things that we break down in this post.

Betfair Exchange is not the only betting exchange out there. Smarkets offer a similar service, but there are a few key differences that we will go over in the following Smarkets guide.

We’ll help get you started backing and laying on their exchange, teaching you exactly how to use Smarkets, and we’ll also go over some of the technical details involved in using the website.

If you’re new to the idea of matched betting, you’ve probably thought to yourself:

“…But after all the sign-up offers, how do you make money?“

If you haven’t asked that, you’re in the minority – believe me!

Figuring out how to make money after sign-up offers is something the vast majority of newcomers are puzzled by.

But the answer is easy:

The way we continue to make money online via the bookies is with something called reload offers.

We’ll explain exactly what they are and give you a wide range of examples of reload offers within this post. 

If you’re looking to start matched betting, learning what a lay bet is – and how to place a lay bet – is an absolute necessity.

Every single bet you place will involve laying bets off.

The process sounds a lot trickier than it actually is; it’s extremely easy!
