So you know how it works? You've done it (the matched betting!), but you don't have the confidence within yourself to continue in case it goes wrong?

ok so back to the flirting.....hey gorgeous..looking good....(can you tell i'm useless at this flirting business) i totally understand it i think it's a great idea my nerves just leave me putting on a bet makes me panic ...i nearly messed up once through nerves....and i have trouble finding all the right tables at betfair( i think this is due to nerves also) .....i also asked the other handsome man about snr's i really panic about them ..looking for high odds etc ..i dont have that much in the betfair account ..i was gonna pester him again and ask is it not possible to pick a no brainer i.e bet some third division to beat man u at the snr place and at bet fair the third division team to loose ..that way you get your winnings at betfair? what do you think?0

Why don't you do a couple of low outlay bets? You'll not make much, but you also can't possibly in your worst nightmare (end of the world as we know it) lose much either. That'll get you used to it and steady your nerves through familiarity.
Yes I know you can't lose, but I bet you're worried over the possibility of it."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)
