I did it for about a month, made about a grand before all of my accounts were suspended/limited.
Know a guy who got carried away with it and is currently waiting for court proceedings, he opened up multiple accounts in the names of acquaintances and is being done for a type of fraud I believe. His earnings were 6 figures however.
£1,000 is pretty nice.
CCFC88: There are offers on bet365, coral and paddy power for the Euros if you still have those accounts.
Liquid Gold: You can learn about it here if you like http://www.onlinebettingschool.com/how-to-bet-online/matched-betting/ (Admin, please delete link if not allowed). It's basically betting on things just to make money from the free bets that are given out by bookmakers.
I'm not a very good better, strictly no horses, just footy. I put a £1 on these to win: France, Croatia, Wales, Switzerland, Poland, England, Germany. Would have got £90 if bloody Russia hadn't've scored. I nearly cashed out a couple of times but got greedy and for the sake of a fiver lost the lot!
Done something similar with a fiver and wins for Spain, Sweden, Austria and Portugal. Should be a similar amount. I didn't included the Belgium/iTaly match as either could win. I always bet on the favourites but do accas.
Not read the link but I was betting on a market usually with two outcomes so either tennis, basketball, both teams to score in football, using odds comparison wedsites and matching bookmakers where they were offering different odds to be exploited, eg,
Murray v Djokovic
Bet 365 Murray 1/1 £100
Will Hill Djokovic 11/10 £95
If murray wins you make £5 if Djokovic wins make £4.50, doing this on 4/5 markets a day depending on the capital you have behind you can be very profitable, have to be careful though as all companies have different rules on player retirments and so on.
BTTS bets worked very well with this ,however you have to know that your time is limited as the bookies arent stupid and will work together to highlight people doing this and limit/suspend accounts.
CCFC88: Yep, this sounds like the exact same concept as matched betting. You are doing pure arbitrage trading is sounds like. Matched betting is combining the concept what you are doing with free bets I guess, in a way.

If you guys or anyone wanted to give this a crack still, you can just copy the example 3 bets below to make money on this weekend's Euro matches. You basically bet £25 on Germany vs Italy on Saturday. Bet £10 on Germany with one bookie, £5 on the draw with another bookie and £10 on Italy with a third bookie.
You'll win 1 of the 3 bets plus get about £15 cashback and £60 worth of free bets that you can then use in the same way on the France vs Iceland match on Sunday. The end result is that you'll turn your £25 into anywhere between £45 to £140+ depending on what happens:
Another messageboard I frequent had a similar message posted at the same sort of time with a link to the very same website so I would say yes. I can't be bothered to click said link but I would guess it involves lots of commission based links to various betting site sign ups.
Bet365 got absolutely smashed on the last offer, I have seen some huge bets floating around estimates suggest they lost up to £7 million. Seen a few slips but think the best two I have seen are Williams to score 2nd and Wales to win 3/1 with £50 bets on both at 40/1 50/1!!!
