Caroline, who lives in London, joined Profit Accumulator in early 2017 to make extra money. She shares her matched betting story...
How long have you been a member of PA?
For about six months.
How did you hear about it - were you sceptical at first?
I was looking for a way to make some money on the side and a friend told me about PA. I was a bit put off because it involves betting, but my friend convinced me to give it a try and I'm so glad I did.

How have you found it?
It was quite daunting at first but after the free trial, I understood it a lot more.
What do you do with the profit you make?
With the money I’ve made, I’m saving for a holiday. I couldn’t imagine not having the extra money every month.
How much time do you spend on matched betting?
It only takes me an hour or two each evening. I don't do too much at weekends - I know I could earn extra money if I did more.
Why does matched betting appeal to you?
I like the fact I can dip in and out of it. It hasn't got in the way of my social life or doing other things that a second job might.
What would be your advice to someone thinking of trying matched betting?
Give it a try. I knew nothing about sports or betting but it doesn’t really matter, it’s just really easy. It’s really fantastic and I’ve recommended it to all my friends.
