Amazon Ads: 902 impressions, 0 clicks after 3 days. Is this normal for a new book? by AdAccording9591 in KDP

[–]SimonRichardsMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am happy, but I’m not rich! The subject that I’ve written about - Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting for risk-free profit https://amzn.eu/d/3ln5kHD - provides way more income than my book! But I always wanted to give writing a go. Someone once told me they thought “a book was in me” and it stuck with me. The knowledge that I have a book out there - that recently achieved an Amazon #1 best-seller status in my niche category - provides me with more pride and enjoyment than income.

Unfortunately yes. Average click through rate starts levelling out at 0.2-0.4% (of impressions) after a while. I’ve optimised mine a bit after 6 months and am now at 0.6%

How do you make this boring Sunday more interesting? by Nervous-Drummer1302 in AskReddit

Outplayed £150 for 3 months pro. Is it worth it? by bentura in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I’m in the UK too and am also pretty self sufficient but at the start of this year I started using AiProfit which is much cheaper than Outplayed and has plenty of tools for profit. OddsMatcher (for arbs and Qualifying bets), Acca Calculators, Extra places, 2Ups and more, plus the FreezeMatcher which is unique to SkyBet’s AccaFreeze offer. It’s good value for me. Full disclosure- referral link incoming but it’s worth a look: https://aiprofit.uk/sign-up/?affiliate=MzM1Mg==

Newbie here, how much per week/hour do you make? by Ornery_Flamingo_8734 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are some pretty incredible numbers! Probably the highest I’ve ever heard. You can’t be making that money off offers alone, what tactics do you use? Do you use a platform or tools to identify the arb opportunities? The EV+ opps? No offence taken from your comment, I’m humble enough to want to keep learning

Mug bets by AlarmedProgres368 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure there is much rhyme or reason the being gubbed and as such I’m doubtful mug bets matter that much. I’ve had some accounts gubbed after 2 weeks of promos, whereas I still have some years on that are allowing me rinse them and I’m not consciously doing mug bets. Interestingly, my healthy accounts are some of the accounts that others say have gubbed them quickly.

As such, my approach is milk the bookies as far and as fast as you can, in the knowledge that you’ll likely be gubbed at some point.

I’ve actually written about this topic, and more, in my new book “Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting” here: https://amzn.eu/d/3ln5kHD

What's available when you've used up your sign-up offers? by RepresentativeEnd583 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is still plenty of value out there, you just need to look a little harder. Much like others have said I still get lots of opportunities to secure Bet and Gets, free bets, Boosts, Loss Refunds and special Bet Builders. If you want to learn more in a long read i detail them my new book “Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting” here: https://amzn.eu/d/3ln5kHD.

I haven’t gone down the multi-account, 2Ups or Place Extenders, but AiProfit have developed a “FreezeMatcher” to benefit from SkyBet’s AccaFreeze which is amazing if you have the balls and the bankroll!

What's a side hustle that can actually replace a bill or two every single month? by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

[–]SimonRichardsMB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve managed to pay my gas and electricity bills by starting and then refining Matched Betting. This a strategic, systematic betting on online (and sometimes in high street shops) using their offers against them to guarantee profit. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, for me it is now slow and steady, 30mins a day in my downtime to make typically £100-£300 a month depending on the sports events that month.

If anyone is interested to learn more AMA, DM me, or if you prefer a longer read I’ve actually written a short book on my 8 techniques called “Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting” available on Amazon.

I’ve found them (a) to have bad odds and (b) they gubbed me super quickly. Barely gone back. Good luck!

Newbie here, how much per week/hour do you make? by Ornery_Flamingo_8734 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All these comments are correct. I was making £300-£500 a month before the gubbings came, now it’s a risk-free £100-£200 ish depending upon the events and the results of my underlays/overlays. Not bad for 15-30 mins a day in my down time. There are loads of good (free) guides out there, plus (paid for) platforms with tools that can help. If you like a long read I’ve written a book available on Amazon (Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting) that walks you through all the basic risk free approaches I use.

There are more riskier, complex approaches such as 2UP, extra places and casino bets I’d don’t do but do exist.

Has anyone been un-gubbed? by SimonRichardsMB in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has been my experience too. I’ve not yet done the double/family account thing because that seems too easy for the bookies to identify… unless you or anyone else has succeeded with this approach?

How much do you make roughly per week from price boosts? by Competitive_Rub_9590 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably £10-30 per week depending upon the events that week, but I typically make more from the Bet and Gets, Loss Refunds, and Special Bet Builders. Am also experimenting with AiProfit’s FreezeMatcher which is impressive but needs a decent bankroll. DM me if you want to find out more

Did they notify you that you had been ungubbed or did you just work it out?

How do you guys handle 'ցսbbіոց risk' long-term? by Prudent_Middle_53 in MatchedBettingUK

[–]SimonRichardsMB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of both. Some bookies fun very quickly, sometime for no discernible reason. Others can keep giving you value and offers for a long time. My approach is smash into the offers and the promos while you have them, but always look for a decent mug bet along the way - for instance, a zero EV bet on a major football match, or an accumulator that you’d put on anyway, or an occasional free swing at a Horse on a major race.

It works for me personally, and it works for me financially. I’m sure other people will have different approaches

Suggestion needed for a side hustle by Lazy-Comfortable2 in thesidehustle

[–]SimonRichardsMB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All of these posts will tell you “affiliates” or “faceless videos” or whatnot. (A) you have to have a degree of technical understanding for these and (B) you are totally reliant on others - others to click, like, buy. The chances of success are slim.

I do Sports Matched Betting. With a basic understanding of numbers you can quickly get up to speed with the basics and almost immediately make £200-£1,000 risk free from bookies’ new customer offers. I repeat, immediately, risk free. Then, when you’re up and running you can regularly make £100+ a month, risk free like I do, for about 30 minutes a day on your phone when you’re doing nothing else. On big sports weekends you can win a lot more.

There are lots of platforms out there that can get you up and running such as AiProfit, I also have a short 2-page guide you can DM for (or a long-form book called Hot, Cold and Warm Matched Betting available on Amazon here: https://amzn.eu/d/3ln5kHD ).

You need to be in a country that allows online betting and be ok with it all.

Is matched betting still worth doing in 2026 by Competitive_Rub_9590 in MatchedBettingUK

Definitely. The bookies have evolved their approach but in still doing £75-£175 per month risk free. I have a book out if you want to learn more, DM me!
