Go into My Account in Paddypower, click on Personal Details and then tick Show Odds as Decimal.
All bookies do decimal odds except Totesport which you can either view at a site like oddschecker or do the maths in your head: first number divided by 2nd number + 1 .. so 3/2 is 3/2=1.5 + 1 = 2.5..0 -

And that I made £5.38 with my ebay selling so far, (ummm maybe I should stick to matched betting - although now need to save up money for that again because my money for nothing money has been spent on car insurance and MOT-but first time in my life I've paid my car insurance for the year ahead of the year if that makes sense- yippee!!!!)
I have also made a better total of £17.25 mystery shopping with reatil eyes so am now off to update my signature!
Also does everyone feel that it's okay to sell amazon vouchers on ebay? Because I've £16 worth from diferent surveys and am not sure if selling them is against their rules?
For everyone who's worried about matched betting if you can invest a lot of time to start with and a bit of money it's a really good way to make money forever! I highly recommend it - I'm now off to do some with my mystery shopping earnings, (not much but a start!)
With ebay its always best to see what the completed items are going for. If there's amazon vouchers completed in 7 days then it should be fine to list them
Vouchers actually do really well on ebay (Marks, Boots and the like can go for over 80% of the face value)
Feel very manly today, think i've stopped the hot water cylinder from leaking (grrrrrrr!):D
with the printer that i brought in boots i got 1299 points and have spent 600 of them on some L'Oreal pure zone anti-imperfection regulating moisturiser. It was £6.49 in Boots but its was part of their L'Oreal 2 for £6 offer so got two boxes for £6 worth of points.
Not sure how they'll do on ebay but its worth a tryDebt of £6300 cleared in 5 years, now ZERO0 -
Just a thought- if an item is on offer in Boots I always wait until the offer has finished before I list it. If it's on a 2 for £6 at the moment then personally I would wait...just a thought and hope you don't mind me saying!2014 GC: £957.61/ £54000
