    So this is like with my real own money! :eek:
    :eek: Good luck. I am worried about doing the ones with my own money. I have found one offering a free £25 bet so I am going to try that at the weekend, avoiding the own money bit. Am so wary of actually doing it though, I don't think this is going to be my path to riches:D

    Ooooh braver than me - and too scared of the 'spreadsheet' :eek:

    I nearly forgot, I got a nice freebie today from the freebies board- a full size bar of Green and Black's chocolate :j:j:j I was going to post a link on here but it expired about 10 mins after I applied. :rolleyes: I didn't think it would come because they got besieged but it came this morning. Am still waiting for a few other things to come, I love the freebies board:D

    Also got 2 books from Amazon (self help ones of course) and then remembered to cancel the Prime trial membership.:j

    Right I've done it.

    I think I've managed to do it right and not bet £10k or something crazy/ stupid like that.

    It says all the figures along the way like profit which matched with the figures on the spreadsheet and my bets were matched straight away which I think is good news.

    I'll just have to wait and see what happens next. I think I get my free bet at some point? :confused:
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    I joined betfair about a year ago to get the quidco money, they are always sending me emails offering free bets, maybe because I don't use the site at all? So hopefully they will keep sending them even if I use the site quite a lot. They are usually for £50 but I am not sure if they are SR. Might be able to make a little bit out of them though.

    I'm not sure I will get rich this way but am hoping to be able to add a nice sum to my house deposit.

    This is the bit I am worried about, the bit where you place the lay bet at betfair. Am concerned I won't be concentrating properly and accidentally agree to pay £10k if I lose:o
