How I turned my last £100 into £1,000 a month and a no-expense-spared trip around Europe

Jack toured 15 European cities in six weeks

Jack has used his winnings from matched betting to buy his first house and fund a once-in-a-lifetime trip around Europe.

During uni, he quickly climbed out of his overdraft and he began to earn up to £1,000 a month.

It was during Jack’s January exams that his friend, James, showed him a new way of making money through matched betting. James was previously interviewed by The Tab for buying a jet ski with his winnings.

Jack said: “Due to the intensity of my course, I didn’t have time for a part time job so I ended up nearly maxing out my overdraft.

“When James suggested that I give matched betting a go, I thought I don’t have to leave the house or the library to do this. I can do all of my coursework but continue to matched bet at the same time.”

Matched betting is lucrative for people like Jack because it’s about as risk-free as it gets and people can do it from the comfort of their own home.

Matched betting allows you to convert free bets and bonuses into real cash, by simply covering all bases of whatever you’re betting on.

Why bother with a part time job when you can do matched betting instead?

Jack quickly took to it and began to see profits, meaning he was soon able to give up counting the pennies like most students.

Within six months, Jack was making on average £1,000 a month.

“I wasn’t having to budget like a lot of my friends and I lived very comfortably. If you work for four or five hours as a waiter, or behind a bar at minimum wage, you wouldn’t be able to make half as much as I did through matched betting.”

Months later and Jack had saved up £8,000 to pay for a no-expense-spared trip around Europe with his girlfriend.

They travelled 15 countries over six weeks, eating out for every meal and taking in every sight and adventure they could. They watched the final minutes of the Tour de France when they were at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Jack said: “It was the best experience of my life.”

In total, Jack has made £15,000 on matched betting, mainly on horses, the occasional football match and casino offers.

“I did most of my bets on horse racing, as you get the outcome in a matter of minutes. You really do get an adrenaline rush of winning and making money.”

With money coming in so quickly, it was tempting for Jack to matched bet full time, but his love of engineering pushed him towards getting a full time grad job.

“I’ve just moved into my new house, which matched betting helped pay for. Everything’s going on at the moment so I’m a bit distracted, but I’ll get into betting again very soon.”
