If you want to make a living from
betting you absolutely must have an account with
Betfair. Betfair is the biggest betting exchange in the world and it
allows you to bet
against other people, meaning you get better odds as there is no
bookmaker and you
can also Lay an event. For example you can bet against a horse winning
just like the
bookies do.

Getting Started
The first thing I recommend you do is to wipe clean your head of any
previous bad
memories you may have surrounding betting, and forget what you may have
learnt in
the past, however, do keep your experience on hand as you will need more
discipline
than you have ever had before.
Decide how much money is a realistic target for yourself, this maybe a
couple of
hundred pounds per month to pay the bills or it may be a couple of
thousand to
replace your income, whatever it is write it down on a piece of paper.
Now write down how much money you have available to bet with (your
betting bank)
Multiply your available funds by 10% (e.g £1000 funds x 10% = £100)
This is the figure you should be aiming to make per week, if it’s a lot
less than your
target figure you will have to reinvest your winnings back into your
betting bank for a
while, everything you win is added to you bank to make it bigger, soon
you will have
enough to reach your monthly target.
I also suggest you open a new current account with your bank and use
this entirely for
betting purposes only.
You will require some sort of spreadsheet program such as excel to keep
a record of
all your bets – and I mean all of them!
Once you have everything set up you need to create a portfolio, by this
I mean a
number of different methods to generate your income – we never put all
of our eggs
into one basket.
