How much can I make matched betting?

You won't be able to quit your day job, but it can be a sizeable side hustle. A lot depends on how much money you can commit to matched betting to start with and what sportsbooks are available where you live. A lot of DarkHorse Odds members make at least $1,000 every month. Some make much more than that.

How do I know how much to bet?

DarkHorse Odds has tools called Bet Finders that check all available odds, find the most profitable bets available, and tell you how much to bet on both sides. Learn more in our Core Concepts guides.

Do I have to live in a state with online sports betting?

No. You only have to be physically present in a state that allows sports betting when placing wagers. Think of it like traveling to Las Vegas to bet. You can gamble at casinos in Las Vegas without being from Nevada.
