You’ve probably heard lots of people claiming they’ve made £1k, £2k, £3k, £5k or even £10k plus from matched betting…

Not to toot my own horn, but for those that don’t know, I’m a member of the £150k+ club! Wanna learn more? I’ve documented my journey since I started in June 2020, through my Betting Reports.

One way in which people like to share their success in the matched betting world, is to post on different forums, such as Outplayed.com or OddsMonkey.

I know everyone either won’t be members of these forums, be interested in scrolling through or just never thought about looking at them. But let me tell you, whilst most of it is waffle from people who don’t really know what they’re doing, but there are some really interesting posts in there.

I decided to go through the Outplayed forum and compile some of my favourite posts, to give some inspiration from other people who are matched betting.

Disclaimer: I have given each person a nickname, rather than using their actual username – just for privacy reasons as this is for inspiration, not a display case of successful bettors.

Anyway, let’s get into some of the posts I found in the £1k club…

Made the £1k club today after 21 days. Done pretty much all of the sports sign-ups apart from the last few more long-winded ones, and a bunch of the casino sign-ups too. Had a couple of big wins on bingo in the last 24 hours which helped me get over the line.

I’ve started working on extra places and horse refunds now. Early days but I’ve had a bit is success so far.

Big Wins:
  • £1k in 21 days – mind blowing!
  • Already dabbling in casino offers
  • Diversifying strategies such as extra places, already


Tips To Get To £2k Club:
