Being now back in the UK for a 6 month period, for only the second time in 4 years after spending lockdown in Goa, it's allowed me more time to get used to the change in lifestyle but wow, how I've had to adapt! I've had to restructure most of what I do including this blog, which from now on will include a monthly roundup of where I am at, what I am trying, which offers are hot and how to do them, a "tool of the month" and any relevant industry information...

Changing times

Obviously things change as time moves on, and the global lockdown perhaps changed things more radically than society across the globe has seen since WWII. These changes are usually slow, one by one, until you look back and see a huge shift, caused by many changes. For some, these changes can be difficult to notice, but when you have lived away from a location for nearly 3 years, you see all the changes all at once, and to be honest it's quite a shock.

Without going into detail and off-topic from this website, let's just say the UK has become far more difficult to live freely in, more expensive, with higher crime rates and with poorer services and social situations. It's sad to see and I intend to go away again soon.

To know more about how cultural shifting changes your attitudes and aspirations, see my first post on my new website- Online Unlimited, a site dedicated to helping people succeed online.

Matched Betting

In matched betting, offers have changed somewhat since lockdown, with a lot of familiar easy offers disappearing, but an increase of in-shop offers available now to take advantage of on the high street. Like Paddy Power giving Turbo boosts and Bet and Get offers and Betbuilder offers from William Hill etc, high street bookies offer their own value to those of us who know how to take advantage.

Mixing in-shop offers with online offers is a great way to increase monthly profit, which is what I have been doing whilst here. I have a William Hill shop 2 minutes away that I pass often so I make a trip in there once or twice a week to place my qualifying and free bets on the betting terminal, then popping home and laying the bet/s off on my laptop, for an easy few quid profit. It all adds up.

Moving with the times

I have been using my time back here to learn new skills and develop this website. Please check it out- it's packed full of new content for UK, US and Australian users.

As some of you may notice, I have started using Artificial Intelligence, namely ChatGPT4 and Google Gemini, primarily for graphics, creating my own calculators for you to use free of charge, and for bits of content "shaping" to fit the latest visual trends.

As we go into the future, I feel AI will take an effect on the betting industry, as it is doing on the stock exchange and digital currencies, so I am trying to keep up with the latest developments in the AI world.

If you want to learn about AI and how it can be used in business for a multitude of things, then The Internet Business School has a perfect course for you!

Tool of the Month

I have been doing a lot of content creation for this site and new projects, and for this I have been using Canva, particularly their new Magic Studio feature.

This new addition to the Pro Plan gives you the ability to create posts, pages, book covers, with just a few keywords by using it's own AI.

It is a work in progress and constantly improving, saves a lot of time and presents ideas and visual solutions that you may otherwise never consider.

Industry News

Betbuilder bets have become increasingly popular and are starting to have more and more offers available on them. Some are very straightforward and simple, quick profit, whereas some are a little more tricky but with the useful Guides at Oddsmonkey, these too can be turned into cash. Learning how to do these offers will improve your monthly overall profits!

That's all for this month. I hope reading this was of value, and perhaps encourages you to try out the links on the site to get the results you want online.

Until next time, good luck and happy travels!

Coaching

Being back in the UK time zone meant it was easier for me to do matched betting coaching. I am currently coaching 5 people, all from different backgrounds and abilities. Each session we do is typically one hour and is tailored to their individual desires and abilities, and designed to recover the cost of each session, using bookie and casino offers. An Action plan is used to get them to reach their goals, and so far I have coached over 25 people in person or by live call one-to-one with each successfully making a few hundred or even thousands of pounds..check out some of their testimonials!

My current students are referrals from a private group I work with by providing content, and they are paying me for my time. To date, more than 300 members of this group have earned around £50k in 18 months following easy done-for-you emails and webinars from my friend and mentor Ben. You can find details on the course here, it guides you to profit within 90 days with a risk-free guarantee!

I do offer FREE COACHING to anyone using my links though, just get in touch or book via the many buttons on the site!

Time-zones

Getting used to the time difference has been difficult as in India I can wake at 7-8am, go out for breakfast and a swim, then lunch, before the UK has woken up and I start "work". I don't mind working into the evening sometimes as it's normally around friends or in a nice bar or restaurant anyway. On the other hand, it was sometimes impractical or difficult to do in-play offers on late-night football as kick-off was 1.30AM in Goa by then and WiFi (and power!) becomes unpredictable, so it is easier in the UK.

After years of using only my laptop, getting back to working on my desktop setup at the same time was also useful and certainly helped speed up a lot of work.
