    PP is damn good at what she does. I've seen her working. Terrifying efficient. She's a matching betting cyborg. With great taste in 90s electronic music.

    lol,believe me its fine,its just a few short months ago that I was starting out.I started out just making £25 in the first few weeks ,then £30 -£40 etc.As your knowledge grows so does the float and the earnings capability.Mind if the knowledge doesn t grow and the float does,you can make serious losses.

    Ginga,

    Just plug away at it. Really, you get so much better through experience. I start about 6 months ago and until about 1 month ago, I was probably only making about £200-250 a month, largely due to apathy, lack of organisation and being very busy. I now have a lot of time free and started to take it seriously over the last month. Since the start of this month I have made £200+, and that figure would have been substantially higher if I had not had a serious issue with a bank transfer which tied up about 1/4 of my float at the worst possible time.

    I expect to have cleared £700-800 minimum by the end of the month. That is working with a float of around £3,000.

    Really, I spend hours and hours every day doing this and I still don't have a enough time in the day to get everything done. I am only on 30 or so bookies, and I haven't even completed the bet baskets for some of those.

    My advice is think about when you need to be in front of the PC and plan your day around it. Make sure you have required liquidity with your money then set a 'to do' list and just progressively hit everything you can. And, everyday, trying to learn a new aspect of it. Or look back on the day and think what you could have done better and try to implement it.

    And it's good to consult with PP - she kicks my butt when I am not giving 100% and I am sure she will do the same to you!

    Good luck, and please feel free to ask questions.

    Im going to just keep doing the things I do now,like icehockey,base ball,cricket etc.There is of course still spanish leagues for a while then the euro s start.(U21s)
    The horses will be my main focus though,with Epsom derby and Ascot to look forward to.
    Is there big brother also?

    I would avoid betting on Big Brother (and indeed any reality shows) as contestants can be removed/added at will.

    U4EA - where are you getting most of your monthly profit? Sign ups, reloads, arbs, casinos etc?

    Well pointed out foofi,
    I should of said that the rules have to be the same at the book and exchange etc.ie they only go off public voted evictions etc.:D
    I think a warning should be placed about lots of sports really,as people look to step outside of football ,they should really understand the differences in betting on other sports.Rule 4 s in horses and retirements in tennis etc.
    It really can be a mine field if you are unaware what to check before backing etc.Like with any mbing,I think just to read and read before you step into new markets.
