Let me Count the Ways...

I've been meaning to write this post for a while. After all, the site is called Make Your Betting Pay so there really should be a post outlining the main ways in which it can be done!
When it's boiled down to its essence, there are just 4 ways in which you can make money from betting.
They are:
Matched Betting
Most people have done a bit of this. It's done by using bookmaker bonuses and the betting exchanges to create no lose bets. the mechanics…
UFC Fight Night 147, London 16th march 2019
I've been crazily busy this week with Cheltenham so please forgive me if this week's MMA offering is a little lacking in reasoning and wordage. I may not give very detailed reasoning but it's fair to say all my picks this week are straight value calls - underdogs who have been priced too big (but are still more than likely losers). That said, they are the kind of bets that will make plenty of profit if you bet them over and over again.
We have a very decent card for a London fight night - I w…
UFC 235, 3rd March 2019 - Las Vegas, Nevada
Finally, a really, really good card in 2019. There are at least half a dozen fights on this card that I am excited about and I haven't been able to say that so far this year! There are so many potential bets and fights that I have an opinion on that I am going to have to heavily rein myself in.
Mickey Gall v Diego Sanchez
First up we have what should be an interesting match up between the suicidally aggressive Sanchez in his 28th UFC fight (39th pro-fight overall) and the submission special…
Trainers for October 2018
For October 2018, I've looked at National Hunt trainers who have knocked it out of the park in October over last three years. Trainers tend to be creatures of habit and hopefully profitable Octobers will be a habit for these ones and they'll throw a few quid into the kitty over the coming month!
Each of our trainers has made a profit to SP across all their runners and additionally have made a profit…
Here come the Girls
Nick nailed 3 decent priced winners on 2000 Guineas day yesterday. Let's see what he can do with the fillies classic today: The fillies take centre stage on Sunday in the 1000 Guineas and the Group 3 Dahlia Stakes but first a look back at how Saturday’s selections performed. In the opener at Newmarket, Bold Sniper ran a good race to finish third, whilst Farraaj never really featured but finished a respectable 5th. Bold Sniper was well worth a crack at this trip but I imagine he will be doing h…

Nick Hardman returns with an in depth look at some great racing this Saturday from Newmarket, Goodwood and Thirsk including the 2000 Guineas, the first Classic of the new flat season:
The flat season is well and truly upon us now and this weekend sees the first of the Classics with the QIPCO 2000 and 1000 Guineas.
We also have decent cards from Goodwood and Thirsk on Saturday. As usual I will be sharing my weekend thoughts and selections with you.
So,…
Back to Earth with a Bump...
Following the highs of Aintree we had the inevitable lows and I can’t help thinking it was a weekend of missed opportunities. Astonishing was well beaten in the John Porter Stakes, finishing 4th and beaten by 3 lengths in all. Valdez jumped badly right in the Novice Chase at Ayr, but he would not have beaten Eduard in any case who was just too good. At least William Hill refunded my stake. In the Fred Darling, J Wonde…
Ayr and Newbury Thoughts
First up a big thank you to all who commented on the Aintree blog and it was truly fantastic to know a few of you cashed in, especially on the Saturday. Back to reality and last weekend may well turn out to be an impossible act to follow! As I have said all along I do not see myself as a tipster, bu…
Aintree Reflections
Well folks that’s almost it for the jumps season with only the Punchestown Festival to come and the final meeting at Sandown to look forward to. After that the flat season takes over and personally I only really look forward to Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood. In my opinion the “Classics” come far too soon in the season and I can never get that excited about them. Anyway, ba…
