Hi,
Just updated my sig and have achieved this months target. :j :j
Really pleased as I didn't think I would be able to do it. Most of the money has come from MB and cashback sites. Also a few MS - there doesn't seem to be many in my area - but have signed up for a few more sites to try to increase this.
Have also arranged some extra work for next month - so I am prepared for the September challenge. :rolleyes:0 -
I need to add a couple of amazon sales and small ms jobs, but I just thought I would report that I think I may be in love with the concept of matched betting.
So far, joined betfair and paddy power, both through Quidco, which should bring me £30 in cashback (which I will count when it comes back to me). Placed a qualifying matched bet through each which cost me £2.77, but earned me a £10 credit from betfair and a £20 free bet from paddy power. Placed the £20 free bet on PP and matched it on betfair which should have brought me £15.45 in actual money.
But then the bets were voided, and rather than giving me my £20 free bet back, PP just credited my account with £20.
So, £30 cashback + £10 credit from betfair + £20 credit from PP - £2.77 cost of qualifying bet = £58.23 either in my bank or winging its merry way towards me.
