Yes but don’t be misled by “betting” in the description “matched betting”. If done correctly then it’s not a gamble as you’re placing bets that cover all possible outcomes - you’re structuring a return of the “free bet” amount which is guaranteed by mathematical logic regardless of the result of the fixture or race that you’re betting on. So it’s not “beating the bookies” in the sense of an Arthur Daley character giving you a nudge-nudge wink wink tip of the winner of the 2:30 at Ascot.
IIRC It was as you’d expect prefaced with a number of warnings not to get sidetracked into normal gambling etc. Discussing it on the MSE forums was forbidden outside one specific well-moderated forum. It does work if undertaken with due skill and discipline.

Isn't that how suspicions were raised over j*ff*ry d*hm*r?
I'm so disappointed in AM. I was such a fan and it's all taken such a crap turn. Why are people so weird? Just makes me feel jaded. Oh, and gofundmes have to stop. I don't care what they are for, they are part of the problem, not the solution
Sorry- off topic, don't know how to hide this stuff yet!
You'll never "beat the bookies"- I worked for one.
If they see a bet is possibly going to come in and cost them a bit, it's laid off with *another* bookie- to cover/mitigate any possible pay outs. Worst case scenario, the bookie just loses that stake.
Small wins- they're just taking other small punters losing money out of the till
What in Christ’s name is the black thing with red eyes?! I’m just about to go to sleep, for goodness sake!!
crusty leg is still there. The convo with Jack being outed has seen her crowdfunder - which before this kicked off had had a single donation of £100 in over 2 weeks - rocket to over £1,200 in a couple of days so I’m sure she’ll recover from the indignity of the exposure.
Suddenly my life feels so empty
I’ll tell you, if you can tell me which Jack is this (the ‘do’ and the rest of it. It’s scarySorry if I've missed it but which Jack is this 'do'?
)

Erm, what? What is number 3 in reference to? Did she say such a thing had occurred?!
It’s a slug. Bonne chance for your good night’s sleep, tender one.
True, common-or-garden gambling is a fool’s errand. There are only two ways to “beat a bookmaker”:
- Matched betting (which doesn’t win big relatively speaking, and by nature has limited opportunity over the long-term, and requires strict discipline) or
- Being in possession of information from a match-fixer etc.
Trying to get back on topic I don’t know what Caroline is promoting in this sphere as I haven’t
her. But it’s not a ponzi/pyramid scheme/scam per se.

Lol no, just just me being vulgar, though making a reasonable assumption that it’s something someone who comes over to do a “welfare check” on a supposedly vulnerable person but instead shags them and then fucks off in the middle of the night would be quite likely to doErm, what?

Stop tempting me! I'm the kind of idiot who would make that stupid miscalculation and lose everything
This is the upsetting thing with JM. She makes you doubt everyone when there are definitely genuine cases out there
Beat me to it with the iPod classic with mega storage 160gb whilst she was in The Poverty™️
Absolute crook, it’s all there in plain sight

Quoting myself like something from the drawer, but the fact that a 34 year old woman made this as a “lovely surprise treat” for the parents of her mid-40ish partner will never, ever be anything but absolutely hilarious to me.
