    As I have mentioned (I think) I am having problems getting the VISA debit card from Nationwide for doing € bookies (not done any yet).

    I am starting to think that I should maybe just go for it anyway to build up my float. I mean, A&L charge 2.95%, but places like IW are highly arbable from what I understand so sure it would be work it just to free up the bonus?

    I would look to make my first journey into the world of underlaying doing this in case of it winning at the bookies...

    Opinions?

    U4EA if you do iw beware the refund charge back to your account also, 4% i belive.It is a very arbable book but very limiting .They let me put a whole £9 on yesterday.Theres a whole thread about trying to get money out from them,its very worth while doing,just with the right bank account to do it.

    I heard that they refund the bank charge if you ask them nicely?

    Even if they limit markets, I have no probs putting in the time to get it done.

    They refund there bank charge on withdrawls over £200,but its your bank that charges yet another 4% on re-entry of the money.
    They don t limit markets just the value you can bet.
    I love them ,do at least 3 bets a day there.Just want to warn you about the best methods for withdrawls and deposits.

    Cheers PP, it's food for thought.

    I have other £ offers in the meantime to do so I will open a Nationwide account, transfer my salary into it and do the £ offers.

    Interwetten do have decent arbs, but their payment system is awful. It is 3% on cards and often 12 euro on bank depoists. Also they limit all the markets severly. I do not think I have ever got more than £150 on there.

    A better place to start is Hacketts. Very arbable odds, allow high stakes and a good signup offer. I am gubbed now but had a good few weeks of profit berore getting the boot.

    For laying different amounts get Lazza's multimatcher as it includes an underlaying spreadsheet. It also has a lot of other matchbetting stuff and is a useful tool. I would lay your freebets normally and underlay arbs. However I would recommend this only if you do a lot of arbing. If only a few are done then steady constant profits may be better.

    Im waiting to do hacketts ,they seem a good book.There current sign up is 25euros ,they often do 50 though so im hanging on a while.Theres no cash back or rafs on them either.
    If any -one has a code (for more than 25 euros) or knows of a cash back can they pm me them please.
    Also if you have a crystal ball and can tell me when the euro will drop a bit would be good.:D

    Well i ve opened one of my two books this week ,still turning it over for now but going to look at a second some time today.:rolleyes:

    Oh god,

    was just seeing if you had any updates, and had a great thought run through my head!

    Record how much I make MB'ing and such, and measure it against how much I drink each week!!

    I'm just back from work, about to head out again, but at least this time I wont be drinking as much tonight!

    Horses are the best simply because of the amount of racing. There are a lot of football arbs to be found though. Thier lines are weak and slow to move. One point to take note of is that they may only allow withdrawals to visa debit cards. Some people who do not have one have to get thier money back by check.

    Also have you done the canbet free spins and the betclic poker? Should be a decent bit of profit in those offers.
