    its nice too see everyone making profit lol

    so ideas we have had so far that seem to work ....
    1. £10 as a deposit at st minevers bingo sites make free money everyday doing free scratchcard as long as you have a positive balance, every £10 you can withdraw
    2 match betting
    3. buy and sell on ebay , rememnber thought any fees must come out of your profit and any item you sell must have been bought with original £10 or a freebie gained when buying something with £10
    4, Cashback sites -money will only count if you have used your original £10 stake or any profits thereafter and freebie money is not included unless you are opening a bank account to deposit money then this will count ..

    i hope you dont mind jenjade i just thought id put up some of the popular ideas and some of the rules as i see it , as most people will be starting this week .

    I wish you all the best of luck
