Skrill (formally Moneybookers) is an e-wallet. Similar to PayPal, which I suppose you're more likely to have heard of, but in many ways a better account for people wanting to have a go at matched betting.
There are many benefits to using an e-wallet instead of your normal bank account, first amongst them is that it separates the betting from day to day life. There are plenty of benefits to that, but the main one is that you're not going to be missing your rent come the end of the month when you've put too much on a bet (regardless of whether it's come in or not that's annoying!).
Also worth noting, and it might be suprising, is that an e-wallet will get your money back to you quicker than a bank.

Betfair is an exchange site, and it's the best one out there (in terms of getting matches on your bets anyway!). An exchange is place that allows people to both bet and lay, or both be the punter and the bookie.
What that means is you can set your own odds, and provided someone takes them, you should be able to get better value than you would from a highstreet bookmaker.
Of course there is a fee for this service, and that comes in the form of a commission to be paid on winning bets. The more you bet the lower your commission will become.

The Gambling Times is an invaluable source of bookmaker, casino and bingo site reviews. There are a lot of dross sites out there and signing up at any of them can seriously damage your float. The Gambling Times has impartial reviews on all the best bookmakers and casinos and if they rate them, you're pretty safe when depositing. There are no guarantees in this game, as anything could happen, but it's a great start to find other people who have visited a site before you, and had a positive experience.
The reviews and basic forum access are free, beyond that you're looking at a small monthly subscription to get full forum access, the amazing chat box and cashback at many sites that isn't available anywhere else. You'll make the fees back in cashback, so they're really paying you to take the information, which is a nice situation to be in!
