    My treats are generally a bar of chocolate lol.

    Off to work soon boo hiissss, see you all tomorrow night, might sneak in for a browse between then
  • You should go for it - no point depriving yourself, especially if your savings cover it :)

    Lol yukki, my treats are usually £20 or less... actually more like £1 or less nowadays. I'm super-tight with money though, always have been a saver.

    i have done a matchbet today i am not sure about but to be honest i never seem sure... usually there is cashback so i have nothing to lose but this time no cashback..

    Ok betfair placed bet for £40 which is an £18 stake (that loses me) If i win there is should get £78?

    The other site wages £40 (£20 cash £20 free bet) And if i win i get £120???!!! I guess i won;t lose either way. it is the most i have bet so far though and i don't want it to be wrong. i am going to forget about it till tomorrow night when it is all over!! lol

  • Jen, what's the game and what are the odds? x

    eta: I'm a bit confused. Have you placed the bets yet? You should only be doing the cash bet first, then the free bet second. Perhaps ask on the MB forum for someone to check it, as if it's a football game and they draw, you'll lose... unless you've backed the draw?
