Hey guys.

I do matched betting, yeah I know it's pretty dead, but it's been my side hustle for years. I do it with legal US sportsbooks, no offshores like Bovada and similar. I'm also pretty good at betting soccer however I need clients because as some of you may know, you can only take a site's offer (for example new customer offer bet $5 get $100 in free bets) only once per person. I constantly need new accounts. I used to source people from a guy in NJ but he retired. Now I'm out in the wild and I have no idea how to get people to partner up with me. Let me just explain what I offer them and what I need them to do:

They have to sign up to 4-5 sportsbooks. They don't invest anything, I cover the deposits which are $25 in total. I don't require any documents. I don't ask them for account log ins. They just need to bet what I say a few times and in the end, we split 50-50%. Totally risk free for them. I usually average about $900 per person so after the split they can make $450-ish and their total 'time investment' would be no more than an hour in total before we're finished.

I thought that I wouldn't have any issues finding people but I couldn't have been more wrong. You wouldn't believe how miserably I failed. First, I tried Craigslist gig section. It's $5-10 per ad and when I've posted similar stuff years ago, I'd get like 40 messages per ad. Now I can't get anything posted without being flagged for removal even though my gig is 100% legit and even though I see a few of the same side hustles that ask people for ID documents and bank account access that have no problem staying up. I tried making a 'bait ad' for something similar hoping to tell them that this gig is filled now and then advertise my real intention when they message me - I can't even get those up and running. I'm not sure what causes it.

I'd like to try cloaking now - I need suggestions on how to word my post so it stays up, has a similar basis to what I need so when the people reach out I can tell them something like ''I already found people for this but I can offer you this''?

Also, I'd appreciate any insight if anyone is experienced with Craigslist itself about my issues and how I can overcome it. I need to crack Craigslist, facebook and google ads are a no go for this type of thing

Hi! I came across your post and I may be able to help you find traffic from Craigslist.

I have experience managing CL traffic and generating inquiries. If you're interested, I'd like to discuss how we could work together.

How would you like to handle payment? Do you pay per qualified lead, per completed signup, or on another basis? Let me know what payment structure you have in mind.
