Anyone do it? Still worth getting into? What sort of monthly returns do people make on it nowadays.

I've never done it before due to saving a house deposit and not wanting to impact credit rating.
I don't think it's as good as it used to be but research suggests it may not be bad for credit rating if you make a bank account just for thos stuff.
And I'm reading some are making 500 to 1k a month tax free? Surely not that much these days?
Tempted to do it for me and the Mrs if it's that easy lol.

I've been doing it since 2016. It's much harder work these day - bookies are far less generous with free bets but I still made £1k+ over Cheltenham week this year and am up to £106k since I started.
If you haven't done it before, it's worth signing up to one of the matched betting websites, follow the sign up guides and you'll be up a few hundred without too much effort.

Am I best doing it now or waiting till the euros for better sign up offers? Or better to just start ASAP? I was thinking of just paying odds monkey for their subscription. Any tips much appreciated

Any tips much appreciated You are far more likely to lose that house than you are to win big. Some people will have great stories about betting, but if it wasn’t addictive and wasn’t heavily in favour of the house, bookies wouldn’t make millions from it time and again.

Any tips much appreciated There'll be some better sign up offers for the Euros for sure and also Royal Ascot is always a profitable week but it'll not be a massive difference so depends when you want the money really. I use this website Outplayed (formerly profit accumulator) but Oddsmonkey are just as good. Just follow the sign up offers carefully and make sure you understand what you are doing before trying anything else. Don't expect it to be the gold mine that it once was but making a few hundred a month is still more than feasible with a bit of effort. I use it as a side earner to my job as its tax free.

Matched betting isn't gambling though. It is covering all scenarios for guaranteed win. So there is no stake at risk really.

Matched betting isn't actually betting. It's guaranteeing a small amount of money from free bets that the bookies offer up to entice people to make other bets. There are other more complicated methods but you should never be down from free bets unless you make a mistake.

What I mean is, the only reason that they keep these opportunities open is because you are more likely to get hooked on it and make bets outside of the system when there isn’t some free opportunity to stack up your risk. Anyways, good luck to you.

Anyways, good luck to you. That's exactly what they do want - its a loss leader to get people to bet again. You definitely need to be doing it with the right mindset - i.e. making a small amount of money with each transaction rather than looking for a big win.
