    I ve never even looked at it yet ,i still have so many books to turn over first.I will when the offers start to dry up.
    Well we cash up every saturday night before bed,and this week was only £90:mad:
    This sounds worse than it is as we have alot tied up in free bets for today and tuesday morning,(thanks will hill).

    Im getting so excited for chelt that i can t sleep:j ,going to make a list today of all the offers ,in the order i want to complete them starting with existing first as the other books will do big offers for ascot in the summer.
    Then work out what to deposit where.
    Come tuesday i ll just work down it and see how many of them ,we can turn over.God willing (and i have been a good girl):A ,all the cash will stay in the exchange and i can turn more over.;)
    Hope you ve had a good week people,can t wait for the next.:T :T
    Life is short, smile while you still have teeth :D

    Just a thought for you, but this is something i thought about the other week, and decided to start doing as I believe it works better in my favour...

    Once I've finished with a bookies, I dont like to just withdraw the remaining balance and move on to the next, imo that looks more than sus if you want to use future offers.

    That and it usually takes 2-4 days to withdraw for example, so you have funds tied up you cannot use...

    Hence what I do is look for a small arb that I would usually ignore at say decimal odds up to a max of say 4-6... and then underlay. If the bet loses, you have funds almost immediately to use at an exchange for the next book, or B you have made some more profit, and then withdraw or repeat process.

    Generally I do not like to leave bets tied up for more than 1 day, so this generally works for me, make a bigger profit on an arb and then repeat if not gubbed, or withdraw simply a day later, a few more £ up.

    Sofar most have extracted straight to the exchange, and only one, where I had a total liability of £100 made me just short of £6 in profit by underlaying.

    My basic thought in doing this is

    A I help increase my exchange points
    B Most end up busting out the bookies BUT
    C If they dont, then for the sake of an extra day in withdrawing, I have made a few extra £ from an arb I would usually ignore.

    Dammit, I need some motivation now...

    Just spent half hour looking for decent matches, and found squat!

    Gonna have a break the now, then back in a couple of hours to scourge for my next list of bookies to play with...

    That and thinking of rewarding myself with a macbook to replace this aging pile of cr4p once I get to 3k..... wonder how long it will take me to do that?

    Currently arbing ~£20pw, but think I need to work through more deals first, then carry on the arb-athon...

    Hows your progress coming along?
