Laidback Money

Yeh, cheers for that Mike. You know, you're really not helping here. Unfortunately, Mike from facebook's comment is surprisingly typical whenever somebody mentions any type of betting system on social media. In fact, believe it or not, some people can even be quite unpleasant with their comments so I'll give Mike credit for his comparative politeness. Now admittedly, some can be tipster/affiliate scams but many aren't. Also, it literally takes 2 mins of very basic google research to discover that many people are making consistent profits from bookmakers.

Why doesn't everyone do it then?

Some people feel as if they just don't have the time but in reality, even if you spend an hour or 2 a week on it, you will make some money. You can also choose your own hours.

Mainly though, it tends to be high levels of scepticism combined with lack of motivation. If you are keen to learn more, we suggest you start with our free matched betting guide. This will teach you the basics of betting online while also making you some money with minimal risk.
