    I'm going to start doing matched betting tonight. Just making sure I understand it 100% before going for it.
    Good luck. I nearly had over a grand unmatched... well it was unmatched for a day, because I do "dutching" - backing both at bookies. I guess you'll start with traditional back/lay using Betfair etc?

    That's not too bad. Certainly the best of the 3 IMO. If they ever accept me I might pick it, given my background it kinda suits me :D

    Ah well done, your back!
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I'm using BetMate. I'm permanently banned from BetFair for underage gambling and self exclusion (I got into problems when I was 16...). I now do not gamble (and do not get the buzz out of it that I used to). Going to try and get back some of the money I lost when I was young and stupid.

    I just placed my first bet. £10 with PaddyPower (£10 free for betting £10). Layed the bet at BetMate. Just waiting for the football game to finish and will bet again to get my free £10. Starting off small to make sure I understand it all. :D

    I'm using my old HSBC account for all the gambling, which isn't a great ideas, as FirstDirect might not like it when I apply for CC etc.. might have to use another bank account.
