This is a question Gambling

Broke the bank at Las Vegas, or won a packet of smokes for getting your tinkle out in class? Outrageous, heroic or plain stupid bets.

In the last 2 and a bit months I have bet over £500,000
Over 14,000 individual bets.

Some people would think that impressive. They'd be marginally less impressed when I said my total profit from that was £900. But then that 500k consists of the same money, just sitting there, getting bigger and bigger and betting each more each time. Without me having to do anything and without risking any money at all*.

Best £140 I ever spent. Of course it's not enough to give up my job yet and live entirely off gambling. But that's the dream.

*Apart from that one time when it lost £50. So I emailed betfair complaining and they gave me the £50 back.

Is this anything to do with the matched betting I've read about?
It's an unfeasable amount of money to get through in a few months, regardless!

Nah
Just looked that up on wikipedia, looks incredibly complicated. My system can make money without me having to lift a finger, literally (and I'm not misusing literally). Of course, developing the script that works with the API was quite fiddly, and took months of procrastination to finish. But now it's completely effortless.

Any
chance of a bit more explanation? I would ask for a copy but I realise that would be a bit cheeky.
