    So you are all on the debt forum but keep gambling....I dont think Gambling will help solve anyones debt problems only compound the situation. Even if you win, you will think you can always win and slowly you will lose everything.

    Gambling is not a solution, only another problem.

    Delboypass- matched betting is something altogether different. People take advantage of the offers from gambling websites and MAKE money out of them. Of course it is not a recommended thing to do if you know you would not have the willpower to withdraw the money rather than to continue betting. Also not a good idea for people like me who struggle to understand the matched betting thread......

    It's not gambling, it's arbitrage (sport arbitrage to be exact) using bookies' mis-pricing of events as their feedstock.

    the worst of it is OHs sisters boyf does it, and "apparently" makes a fortune so he was telling us. However, Id drank a *glass* of wine and was wasted so I didnt really remember what he was saying but he did explain it and for about 2 seconds I understood it, then forgot :confused:

    Wine, eh? Reminds me why I dont drink very often :wall:
