With today’s economic stresses gambling is still a prominent and flourishing industry- which begs the question to gamblers of all sorts, can you afford to risk that money? Even the ‘luckiest’ of opportunities, they are not worth the risk of losing the stake and not being able to pay the mortgage. While some suggest keeping your capitol, others have been gambling risk free using free bets. These techniques, if practiced properly leave no risk and all profit!

Free bets are far from a new concept or practice and are being offered through Exchanges as an incentive to gain new clientele. The online betting venues promote their offers through newsletters, email promotions etc. I for one, have been hard pressed to find many exchanges that neglect to offer free bets as a promotional tool, so how do free bets work?

Free bets are usually offered to newbie’s in smaller, controlled, amounts until the newcomers qualify for more. The amounts range from $9-$100 and are often offered in a small package of $20. Not very many Exchanges offer $100 free bets as it defeats the purpose of the user having to become qualified for larger amounts. Because sports’ betting is so prominent, many users choose to utilize their free bets in this arena. Of course the choice of where to place the free bet is of the consumer’s judgment, so use your resources wisely.

The premise of using free bets to gain pure profit is greatly possible. Doing this is called matched betting. Matched bets are generally used by backing an outcome at a bookmaker and laying the same outcome at a Betting Exchange. A bookmaker (online bookie) is a person or company that determines odds and receives and pays off bets. A betting exchange is known as a peer to peer gambling site. Laying a bet means to bet that an outcome will not happen. Concurrently, backing means to bet that an outcome will occur. Basically both of your placed bets cancel each other out, either generating a profit while not a loss on either of them.

Placing a bet is defined as betting a stake (an amount) on the outcome of an event at certain odds. To give an easy to follow example, let’s say you wish to bet on a soccer game. You use the free bet you received from the online bookie at $10 and place it on Team A to win at odds of 5/1 (5 to 1). Your instincts were correct and they won. Earning you $60! However, your lay bet loses and you forfeit $50, which leaves you with a $10 profit. The key is to discover a suitable match for your qualifying bet that’ll produce the smallest loss by gearing to place a back bet that has the most similar odds to your chosen lay bet with the Betting Exchange.

This process can be completed simultaneously and should be used responsibly. Gambling can be a thrill with the right stakes and what’s better than keeping your money in your pocket at the expense of the Exchange of your choice?
