    read the gambling loopholes board, a bit of matched betting would help a lot.and before you say you know nothing about betting ect, neither did I and Ive made a nice profit.

    Thanks bud, I've done a few of these today. How much did you make roughly? Dont have to say if you'd rather keep it quiet :)
    Aim to raise £1500 for trip to America in late June, saving between mid April - late June 2009

    Current total from working / Ebay / other fund raising = £400 - £1100 to go!

    Are you near any universities or hospitals? They often have their own banks of temporary workers and don't draw from agencies. There can be allsorts of jobs - manual, clerical etc.
    I've been temping for a local uni for the last eighteen months and I've rarely been out of work (except by choice).

    Will give it go, cheers bud

  • If you cannot show you can support yourself in the USA you will not be allowed in.

    Even for a 6 week trip when I'll mainly be staying with family and friends? Also will have booked my train tickets and motels before I travel...

    You could have a go at matched betting? before I get jumped on left right and centre, this is risk free and there is no chance of losing your money!

    Online bookies offer free bets for signing up (e.g. place your first bet of £50 and get a £50 free bet). By using a betting exchange such as betfair to "lay off" the bet you can obtain the free bet without risk then, in the same way, make a guaranteed profit using the free bet.

    There's a lot more to it but its very simple. A good resouce is

    £1500 in two months is actually a very realistic target. (also see the "Gambling introductory offers" board on THIS forum.

    Thanks. Again, how much did you make roughly? Dont have to say if you'd rather keep it quiet :)

    Medical trials ?? Theyre not gonna pay £5000 for 25 days unless they think there could be some serious side effects to whatever theyre pumping into you !

    Actually she is testing ipobrufen patches... they pay for the inconvenience of the 25 day stay...and she has 4 days left and has had no side affects- only that she can't have caffine.
