    Can I join please? - I'm open to more ideas...

    I already do the scratch cards, and bingo sites. I gave up on betfair without placing a bet (but still got paid cashback!) I lost on Coral - but what I got outweighed it in cash back and Paddy Power I won £50 but not done any other betting since as I still don't understand what to do?

    Someone posted a link to this thread on the gambling board which is my usual hide out. Can I join you in your challenge?

    The scratchcard is a good start, then you've still got £10 to use. Then I'd work through the viable bingo sites on quidco, like gala, if you hadn't done that before.

    Personally, although I'm not advocating it!! I've invested in some bargain DVDs and CDs through a mystery pack and selling the ones I don't want on Amazon. So buying stuff in the sale and re-selling might be an option, but remember that's it's taxable income if you do this :)

    Ok I've dived in with both feet first and opened a HSBC fee free current account into which to play with my £10. Assuming that tracks OK it'll be £50 via Quidco, I would have gone with the £20 basic current account option as its more what I wanted but of you can't apply for that on-line despite the blurb on Quidco.

    I suppose the next logical step would be the daily scratchcards but I played every bingo site I could get my hands on earlier in the year and I haven't a clue what my account logins were, only that there were around 50 of them and bingo is tediously dull.

  • I'm not sure if I should join in since I already have considerable experience of buying stuff and selling on eBay at a profit, but it would still be interesting to see how far I could get with a tenner in 6 months and maybe diversify a bit.
