    Ok here is what happened with my £10 for the Jenjade £10 challenge…
    I opened take a break bingo with £10 then withdrew for free scratch cards
    I opened interbingo with £10 withdrew and did free scratch cardS
    Had £10 bought shoes for £5 sold for £11 less fees ended up with £7.96
    Bought phone for £1.60 sold for £23.58 less fees ended up with £23.58
    I did not spend £3.40
    Up to £34.94
    Woolworths closing down sale bought 2 hat glove set for £1 each and 6 water filter for £1.20 a box
    Less £9.20 left with £25.74
    Sold a hat set for £5.50 less fees up to £3.81
    Sold hat set for £5.00 less fees up to £3.35
    Sold 2 filters as a lot for £16.50 less fees up to £12.38
    Sold 2 filters as a lot for £19.50 less fees up to £16.64
    Sold 2 filters as a lot for £14.50 less fees up to £10.63
    Left with the grand total of £72.55 counting the £10 stake!
    Then I went on to match betting and
    Opened coral account with £10
    Cash back from cash backings due from coral £5
    Opened Belfair account with £30
    Quanti cash back due £10
    Placed one bet but more needed for the wager requirements
    Balance in Take a break bingo is £9 need one more £1 needed to withdraw
    Balance in interbingo £8.90 needs £1.10 to withdraw.
    £72.55 less £10 coral and £30 betfair invested = £32.55 in my hand!

    Ha! A comp with the OH - brilliant motivation!

    Is there a thread anywhere with details of the scratchcard deals and how to best use them?

    Cheers

    I'm not sure I can do this without misleading the tax man (buying to sell etc) so think I will just observe everyone else if no one minds

    There is a thread on scrachcards either in gambling loop holes or maybe freebies but i think it was gambling loop holes!

    I have go onto matchbetting which seems to be the best way to make money. i go through cashback sites to so there is extra cash there
