Nil Nil, 0-0, bore draw doesn't cunjure up the image of a particularly interesting match does it.
The difference between gambling and matched betting is that you don't care so much about the entertainment and the excitement of a game, you're in it to win money.
Nil nil is certainly the dullest score in football, but it's also one of the best score lines for some simple matched betting profits.
The bore draw refund or bore draw insurance is an If Bet. If a game finishes nil nil, then losing bets on specific markets (normally correct score, first goal scorer etc) will be refunded. As with all If Bets, your best chance of profiting is to back and lay an event covered by the refund at the closest possible odds. You will want to lose as little as possible in this initial bet (taking exchange commission etc in to account), and of course an arb is the holy grail as you're essentially being paid to have a crack at the refund! Check back at the end of the match and see if it finished nil nil. If it did, you'll have won your correct score or first goal scorer lay at Betfair, but also received a bore draw refund on your bet at the bookmaker (William Hill is a good one for this offer). That's profit.
Repeat. Repeat for every match of a World Cup programme, repeat for Premier League matches, keep going and you will hit some of these.
On average 11% of football matches finish nil nil. It is the second most common result in football. What that means is that although nothing is guaranteed, you should average a hit rate of 1/10 on this type of If Bets. If you're qualifying bet odds are close enough to cover that spread then you're looking at a decent, and regular, income stream.
As with all If Bets, it's not about luck, it's about playing the percentages. 0-0 does happen in football, and with matched betting you could make it the most profitable result there is. A little knowledge is also useful here, specifically which teams or fixtures look a bit nil nil, but the reality is if you can get a close back and lay match, and you don't need the bankroll elsewhere, you should be going for these. After all, you might not think it'll end nil nil, but every once in a while Manchester Utd can't buy a goal, and Brazil grind out a result.
