Startup cost: $50 - $500

Matched betting is a side hustle that requires minimal initial investment. The low-end estimate to start can be around $50, which would cover the cost of a subscription to a matched betting service and an initial deposit for placing bets. On the high end, one could expect to spend up to $500 for additional tools like odds matching software, multiple bookmaker accounts, and a larger betting bankroll. Additional costs may include optional services like bet tracking software or premium subscriptions to betting forums.
