New to matched betting?

Matched betting is a way to turn bookmaker free bets into withdrawable cash by covering the outcome on an exchange.

How it works

Unlike most Quidsy offers, you usually do not keep the full headline promotion value: some is lost to odds differences. You also need to cover all outcomes, so the route no longer depends on the sports result.

  • You place the qualifying bet with the bookmaker.
  • You cover the other side on an exchange.
  • The free bet is then converted into cash profit, in the same way.

NetBet at a glance

Yes, NetBet can work for matched betting, but treat it as a careful route rather than a normal bet.

Expect about £10 withdrawable cash if you follow the route correctly. 1 of the 4 free bets covers cleanly on an exchange; the other 3 are harder to cover, so they convert to less. It is best for careful first-timers who will follow the route rather than improvise.

Can you matched bet the NetBet offer?

Yes. The free bets convert to withdrawable cash; the harder-to-cover ones convert to less.

The qualifying bet (£10 at odds 2.0+) is the low-risk stage: covered correctly on the exchange, it costs only a small, predictable amount whatever the result.
