    I've been very lapse in this challenge. Still on the £20 mark, Went charity shop hunting found a particularly interesting 1970 World Cup book. Watching something similar on ebay before I list it.

    You are all doing really well though, put me to shame.

    Ummm I wonder if that was the same one I picked up and put back again last week?! It was either southampton or a romsey shop.

  • SoScrooge.. I must have logged off before you sent your message. I will have to have a more detailed look at ebay.. I will as soon as I have some time to spare. I got some nifty ebay seller tools (turbolister etc) so have those to figure out as well. I also have some more things to list, but unfortunately haven't had the time yet.

    Hi Sandi
    I'm a few miles further West :)
    It's a Bobby Moore effort.
    Nice price on Abe Books, but then costs a fortune set up an account.

    Another £3 up - sold some pictures from the car boot lot to a fella doing up his BTL house.

    Am I right in thinking that at least £50 is needed to start with the matched betting? Or could it be done with less? Or should I just stop being so damn impatient? :)

    You can start with less but if you can get £70 together to do the Coral offer, you should be able to double it in one day :)

    what good bets would enable you to double £70 in a day?
