How to start matched betting in Australia.

Matched betting in Australia, Why it is so profitable and how to earn a continuous side income.

In life people are always looking for a get rich quick scheme, that one big fantasy payout that will set themselves up for the future and they do not ever have to worry about money ever again. I think that is why people gamble, although they say it is for the thrill, or for the fun, it is for that payout and the instant satisfaction of earning money easily. Although it isn't as big enough to set you up for life, it is still a way to earn that fantasy payout. Over the past couple of years with the introduction of Tiktok, there has been a trend to make 'get rich quick videos' or the best side hustles of 2023. These are all complete and utter BS. If you are like me and you did not like relying on other people to purchase your terribly designed T-shirts on Etsy, but you still wanted to earn a side income, then this is for you! It is not a get rich quick scheme by any means but if you have the will, desire and the discipline to work hard and apply yourself for a couple hours a week, then you are in luck.

Hello, my name is Platinum Sim. I am writing this as a young male from Australia. I have never really had a problem with gambling myself, but I have seen the effects on family members, particularly with the pokie machines you can find at the local pub, although I would put an
occasional multi on the footy on a Friday or Saturday night but that is the extent.

I started match betting 2-3 months ago very seriously. Although it has only been for a couple months I am starting to see some significant profit starting to arise.I am still very new but I am writing this in the hopes to turn more people away from sports betting and gambling and then in turn, teach them how to match bet, and to show how to take the bookies offers by the balls and make over 10 thousand dollars a year or more.I also go in depth on how to identify how to choose a tipping service and the best educational platforms to use to get started in probably the best side hustle for Aussies. I do not recommend match betting for people who are serious gamblers or have a serious addiction. Please stay away and get help, once you have a good mindset then you can continue.

Statistics of gambling in Australia

• Australians lose an estimated 25 billion dollars a year on sports betting and gambling.

• Australians lose the most money per capita in the world to gambling

• A study by the Australian government in 2015 revealed that over half a million Aussies regularly gamble on sports, with the majority being males aged between 18 to 45.

• 41% of the males who regularly gamble on sports were found to have a gambling problem.

Now you have all heard, your mates say “yeah chuck a multi on its good fun” or just have a punt it's only $10, but at the end of the day, if you put $10 on a week for a year that's $520 bucks a year roughly that you are just chuckin down the drain punting some stupid multi.

Why people lose on the punt long term. “You will never see a poor bookmaker , but will continuously see losing punters” 

• Bookmakers always have an edge due to favourable odds, so blindly punting without knowledge gives them an advantage.
• Poor money management and lack of a structured system contribute to losses.Examples of poor money management include chasing losses, increasing bets to recover losses, and chasing big payouts after a win.

• It is important to cash out when you are ahead and avoid chasing losses in the long term.

• Betting too often without careful planning can be detrimental to success.

• Successful bettors and traders take their time, plan their bets, and may refrain from betting for days if the odds are unfavourable.
  
  

Why do we hate multis, but the bookies love them!

• A multi is a type of bet where multiple events or outcomes in a game or multiple games are combined, and all outcomes must be correct for the bet to pay out.

• 
  Multis have become a significant part of Australian culture, with bookmakers successfully promoting their appeal and creating a sense of excitement and potential big payouts.

• Many people are enticed to place multis with numerous legs, hoping to win substantial amounts of money.

• Bookmakers love multis because they generate the odds, and the probability of all outcomes occurring is extremely low, ensuring the bookmakers' advantage.

• The potential payout is often a motivating factor for punters, leading them to add more legs to increase the payout, even though the likelihood of winning consistently is minimal.

• Bookmakers not only generate their own odds for multis, but they also offer odds that are lower than the "true odds" of the market, further benefiting the bookmakers.

The mass brainwashing from advertising

• Sportsbooks, especially sports bet, have been heavily investing in advertising in the past year or two.

• In 2021, a staggering 287 million dollars was spent on advertising, which is an increase of 16 million compared to the previous year.

• 
  Studies indicate that ads have influenced 34% of people to gamble more, with 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men being more inclined to punt.

• Social media platforms are seeing an increase in sports betting ads as they aim to integrate it into the culture and create a fear of missing out (FOMO) effect.

• Recent sports bet ads encourage punters to place multis, particularly those with more legs.

• Social media platforms use personalised targeting based on users' interests and preferences, enticing them with special promotions related to specific players or match outcomes.

• Hiring influencers and ex-sports stars has become common, with the intention of leveraging their following and influence on young audiences.
• However, the tips given by these influencers and ex-sports stars may not have high expected value (EV) or be advantageous for punters at all.
  
  

Getting into the nitty gritty as they say!

Now if you read all that information Thank you! It is a lot to take in at first but it is crucial to understand before jumping into match betting because it is why we have these ridiculously good promo offers!

Now I will just leave you with this quote from Abraham Lincoln ( to sound smart) but really because I think it ties in so well with match betting and its as follows

"Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe"

How this can tie into match betting is not to just dive and start making mistakes, firstly learn, plan out your attack and do lots of research before opening your accounts. Lets get into it shall we!

How can match betting take advantage of this

As of now when I am writing this, there are over 80 bookies in Australia, yes 80 bookies! It is insane how the industry has grown over the past couple of years. With the 80 bookies they are all offering a sign up bonus or an incentive for you to deposit your money with that company and they will reward you with a “bonus bet”. We can take advantage of these offers time and time again because every bookie is fighting for your money! A bonus bet as we talked about previously is not real money but if you can turn it over once, you can make a profit.

How can we turn a bonus over?

One of the best educational platforms is The Hussla Squad, founded by 2 people Jp and Kiro both long term match bettors have put 2 courses together(the free course and the platinum course) for Aussies to take advantage of the bookies. In the free course there is an introduction to match betting and how to turn a bonus over completely risk free by using mathematics! No gambling is involved, and you do not have to watch the event, it is all done prior. This is definitely the best free information out there to learn and dip your feet into the water with match betting. 

I also recommend listening to the podcasts that they have done with the guys from the system to get a better understanding of the industry.

A link to the free course and how to turn a bonus over risk free is here; https://www.thehusslasquad.com/courses

Want to take things to the next level?

• Opening multiple accounts and quickly withdrawing bonuses can lead to bookmakers withholding money and banning users.

• I recommend signing up for the Hussla Platinum course for match betting knowledge that can benefit both betting and life in general.

• The course covers topics such as psychology, long-term match betting strategies, maximising bonus turnover rates, understanding why punters lose, creating a system, and maintaining discipline.

• The course emphasises sustainability and teaches how to sustain accounts long term for continued profitability.

• The Hussla squad has members who have successfully followed the rules and maintained their accounts for up to 2 years without being banned.

• I highly recommend the platinum squad membership, which also provides access to a valuable Discord channel for additional knowledge on bookmaker behaviour and strategies to avoid promotional bans

Making money long term following sustainability rules 

Once you have completed the Hussla Platinum course, or you are looking for a new side hustle, the best horse tipping service I can recommend is the system. The system was set up by experienced match bettors, Tom and Steve to take advantage of the horse promotions offered to the bookies on a wednesday and saturday. It is a very easy system to follow by the tips getting posted in a telegram channel. You will need to have a minimum of 10 accounts to follow this service, with all accounts having the promotional offers available, which is why the Hussla Squad and the system go hand in hand very well. The system has never had a losing calendar month and to many it may seem like bs, but it isn't. It is all based upon mathematics, and with the promotional insurance, there is very little downside with a high upside potential. The number of races they hit in a day depends on sustainability and if they believe there is money to be made in the race, so they are not smashing 20 races on a Wednesday just to make the profit in the short term look good. It is all about the long term!

Want to join the system?

If you want to join the system, you can use the code, “SIM50” . for 50 percent of a monthly, 3 monthly or half yearly subscription. There are 4 different membership plans, weekly, monthly, 3 monthly and half yearly.  If you are just getting started I would suggest monthly. The weekly membership is not worth it because we do not focus on the short term results, we may have a losing week and you choose to not follow it again. A monthly subscription will allow you to watch one or two racing days to learn and get the hang of how everything works, once you feel comfortable and have enough accounts open, we then encourage you to start on a small unit size, once you start to understand how it all works and your bankroll increases, then start to look at upping your unit size. If you are unsure about when to up your unit size, contact one of the guys at the system either Tom, JP, or Steve and they will send you personalised voice recordings on when to up it, based on your bankroll and how many accounts you have active.

What is a unit size? and how you can choose it.

When you are starting out match betting, everyone refers to the amount of money you should place on a bet as a unit size, but what actually is it? A unit size is the amount of money to continuously place money on a particular bet or outcome. The unit size is relevant to your bank roll, so as your bankroll increases, your units will increase. This is one of the ways we manage our money match betting, so if you follow the system on a wednesday or a saturday, they may say, 1U on Who dares at flemington race 9, if you are on a $10 unit size they are saying put $10 on that horse. During the big race days at the system, they may put 2 or 3 units on one horse, please trust the process, do not ever let your emotions get the better of you and put less than the required amount on because we are losing at the time. Always trust the process and stay disciplined!! 

Choosing your unit size.

As a beginner you may look at going straight to a $20 unit size to make maximum money at the start, this is something we do not recommend at all, when you are starting out you will make mistakes, it is a given, a lot of people make mistakes to begin with, the recommended amount to start the system is if you have a bank roll of $1000 to start, start on a $10 unit size, and if your bank roll is $500, start on a $5 unit size. The profit will come so please be patient. It is better to start out with a smaller unit size than going ahead and losing money and your accounts on a bigger unit size. Also you need to consider that we lose 3/10 days, so you want to make sure that you choose a unit size relevant to your bank roll, because we have 3/10 losing days, you do not want to lose your whole bankroll in 1, 2 or 3 days. 

What day to join the system?

Now the thought of the 3/10 losing days may scare a lot of people into joining, because they have the short term goal to make money, and a common question that gets asked frequently is when should I join? I don’t want to join on a losing day. Well the answer is unfortunately you are just going to have to cop the losing day and move on, like I said before, the goal is not to focus on the short term and look at it as a long term investment, the best day to join is probably a monday or a tuesday, this gives you the whole week to setup your accounts and you even have the wednesday races to watch and see how it all works. This is another great example of why your unit size should be low enough to where it will not hurt your bank roll if we lose on the first Saturday you join.

What makes the system so profitable and be able to continue to make profit.

The system has been profitable for over 4 years, every month! That is not due to dumb luck, they have a formula and a method that they follow to hand out the tips. Every race is hand selected and each horse is backed with “promotional insurance”. What is that you might ask? Well promotional insurance is using the bonus back second and 3rd offers every wednesday and saturday. This helps us limit our downside and leaves for the maximum potential upside.

So if the horse runs 2nd, or 3rd we will get a bonus back, which in turn if you are a Hussla squad platinum member will be able to return an upside of 80% back. Please do not go and blindly punt on horse promos now, the System bets with structure and discipline.

Keeping your head cool and not letting your emotions get the better of you.

While you can  always expect to be profitable in the long term, there is some short term variance, there will be losing days, the system has 3/10 losing days, sometimes it is only 3 or 4 units and other times it can go up to -10 units. The best thing to do in these situations is to look at it from an investment perspective and not from a punting perspective. Not every investor on wall street is successful every day. There is always going to be variance so please keep your heads cool and don’t worry because the long term is profitable, getting angry and getting upset is not the right answer in these situations. 

In conclusion about the System and The Hussla squad 

I personally think that these 2 are the best platforms for rookie and advanced match bettors, they are very good with helping everyone of their subscribers with personalized voice messages and a lot of content. If you are still unsure about anything you can book a call with the boys and they will help you, or if you have some raising concerns about anything they are there to help you. Remember it is all about the long term with this system, not about the short term, so if you are in it for the long term this is the place for you. I also recommend all of their podcasts discussing a lot of these topics in more detail and more! 

Other match betting sites and their uses in the growing industry Bonus bank

• The system and The Hussla squad are considered the best in the industry in my opinion.

Bonus bank offers a monthly subscription model instead of a one-time payment, which may be appealing to some people.

• Bonus bank provides chrome extensions and software.
• 
  
• The education provided by Bonus bank is not as in-depth as The Hussla Squad and lacks a focus on sustainability.

• Bonus bank suggests that getting banned is part of the process and advises users to use their accounts without considering long-term profitability.

• Bonus bank has a large Discord server where people discuss races and betting strategies, but this may give beginners the wrong impression and hinder their progress and sustainability.

The software offered

Bonus bank offers a wide variety of software, like the Atm+ and horsepower. This may seem cool and interesting but the key word I will keep referring to is sustainability. You do not want to keep smashing the same dutches or arb opportunities as 100s of other people, your accounts will get flagged from the bookies and potentially banned! 

Horsepower, horsepower is a chrome extension that uses Betfair and bookies to calculate the “ev” Expected value of that horse. It has 3 different uses, Qualifying SR, Mug SR and Bonus SNR.

Qualifying SR, is to be used on promotional races, this will calculate the best Ev of that particular horse, the expected return and if you choose to lay the horse, the lay price. 

Mug SR, matches up with Betfair and can be used to Sustain your accounts, by placing mug bets and the loss if you choose to back and lay that particular horse.

Bonus SNR, matches the higher odds horses and tells you the percentage of which you will receive from using those odds.

I really suggest that if you are new please do not use horsepower and betfair, people have lost a lot of money with Betfair. Once you understand Betfair, use horse power at your own risk. I have not heard anyone get banned from it but it could be possible.

Bonus bank calculators

Bonus bank have a wide variety of calculators to choose from, they are varied from Mutli calculators, SGM insurance calculators and many more. This is a very good reason why to some more experienced people that Bonus Bank could be a worthwhile investment, but for rookies, I do not recommend this at the beginning, please understand everything before diving in and losing your valued accounts!

Bonus bank summary

In Summary Bonus bank is a good platform but I would not recommend it to rookie match bettors. If you understand how to sustain your accounts properly after going through the platinum course, then give it a go, their courses have a lot of information that you can learn from, and they have a wide variety of calculators that you may be able to benefit from.

Shane Huang Arbitrage betting course 

You may have come across Shane Huang on youtube promoting software or talking about arbitrage betting and how profitable it is. I will not lie, Arbing is profitable in the short term, but in the long term it will not do you any favors with your accounts. However this is a course that I do not recommend at all for many reasons, the first one being there is no aspect of sustainability at all. I am not going to sit here trashing his products and service but I just don't recommend it in my opinion. The methods used in the course are not the best for sustainability, this is just my opinion after looking at the products but many other people may love it.

Sustainability: what is this word and why do I harp on about it enough?

Sustainability is key in making money long term in this industry and it is something that the Hussla squad and the system preaches on about the most important thing. Keeping your accounts alive and to profit even further is why the Hussla Squad is the best educational platform, when put together with the system is unmatched the best side hustle for young Australians. 

How to identify a losing tipping service.

Tipsters offering free tips on correct score soccer games with massive payouts are often scams.

One red flag is that they ask for payment only after you win, leaving you accountable for losses.

Lack of transparency and refusal to provide results or tips is another red flag indicating a losing service.

Another scam involves getting people to contribute money to a sports bet with mates group without a guarantee of returns.

Beware of marketing strategies that promise impossible outcomes, such as predicting correct scores or consistently winning with same-game multis.

Look for tipsters who have a public record of their tips, and consider joining services with positive testimonials and a track record of profitability.

To summarise is it all worth it?

Match betting in Australia is one of the most profitable side hustles and investments in the country due to many reasons, in my short honest opinion, yes it is worth it! But to get a very good return on your investment you will have to put a lot of effort in, this is not a get rich quick scheme by any means. But once you set yourself up properly, there is so much profit in the game to be taken. With Australia being the worst gambling nation, more bookies are flooding the market every single month. So if you are willing to work hard, grind and put the effort in, you will most definitely see the results.
