    If you've got enough for a healthy Betfair balance this could be a one horse race! :eek:

    As for arbs. An arbs is where when you lay at Betfair the odds are significantly lower at the bookie that you will always come out with profit! :think:

    Still confused but then I'm just back from my pregnancy yoga class and I think I'm still in a blissed-out relaxation mode with brain switched off.

    Got a smallish dilemma folks!

    My phone contract is up for renewal. Need to decide whether to upgrade my phone and either sell that or my current one, or I can get £10 of my bill a month.

    Currently pay £30 and am happy with that. I know I've got enough minutes and free texts so I won't go over my limit!

    So do I go for the cheaper bill or the new phone? :think:

    If your phone works go for the money off. Thats £120 saved a year :D . Even if it breaks you can get a new handset on PAYG for cheaper.

    Are you saying this as a friend or the enemy? :rolleyes: ;)

    I reckon I could probably get £100 for my current phone so I could sell that. Would be nice to have a new toy! :rolleyes: :p
