A very low risk way to profit from sports betting is called Match Betting. For skilled operators it virtually becomes no risk.

Thanks for bringing this information to us here dear Max :nod:
My pleasure, Victor.
The good thing about MB is that it's based on free bets given by bookmakers.
That means the punter is not risking his/her own money at any point.
And as long as the bookies balance their books per event with their 10-20% margin built in via the odds they offer they really don't care if you benefit in this way from their free bets.
So there's no chance of them suddenly stopping the free bets altogether.
Mind you, if you keep picking winners with your free bet from a particular bookie you might find your account suddenly closed! Same old...same old.
But there are dozens more to take advantage of...
Say I got an account with a free £25 bet...would I have to bet my OWN £25 first to get the chance to bet the sign up bonus? If so do you only have to bet the full amount once to be able to withdraw it or is there the "play through 10 times" thing going on?

You'd need to check that with the bookie.
They all have their own little funny ways! :nod:
I had my first go last week at a matched bet – had a layout of £120 for a guaranteed £18 return on any outcome on a football match. Could've been more if I'd been prepared to layout more but wanted to take things easy for my first go.
This was a signing-on freebet, so obviously there's a finite amount of these available.
My question is more about the additional Bonus Bets on offer to already-registered members, as they seem slightly different to the free sign-up bets & they don't seem playable in the same way.
For example a lot of bookies offer money back/free bets on Correct Score markets if the game ends 0-0...– just wondered if anyone here had ever used them, or whether it's really worthwhile looking into further?
Cheers
@ Monaco: you'll find this of great interest and it will go a long way to settling any questions you might have.

Mr Cruickshank has been well received by punters and has a good reputation.
He sells through Clickbank so you're covered in the unlikely event you'd want a refund because you think it's all a load of old cobblers.
Thanks Esoito, I'll take a look.
