    Although I am having issues on working out my match betting profit, I am confuzzled!

    On a spreadsheet (or piece of paper :)) do a line for each bookie: how much you deposited, and how much you have in that bookie account (or had if you've withdrawn your cash). Subtract the first from the second and you have how much profit you made in your bookie account. Now add the Betfair profit/loss you made on the bets with that bookie and you'll have your total profit from that bookie. Add all these up for your total profit. Then add Quidco etc :)

    People with more spare time than me have made twice what I have this year :)

    Just look at MissMuppet's total - nearly £250 in 2 weeks I think? :T

    hi all

    I have followed this thread with interest since the morning I spent in work reading the first 50 pages.

    I think you are all doing really well, and just wanted to send goodluck wishes to you all

    I tried to post 2ce from home this morning but it wouldn't let me :confused:

    I wanted to say...(if I can remember it all coz it was a long one):

    1. MB is most of my total but I don't know whether I will be able to make 800 pound odd out of it within the next 12 days to get me in tartet (OMG have got to make 66 pounds a day - if I do 3 matched bets a night I could be close :j ?)
    2. Which books are selling on amazon/greenmetropolis? I bought 3 hardbacks at the begining of the challenge and they haven't sold (well done whoever sold the chanel book!! :T )
    3. Thx again to finallydebtfree for the list - I really think that we should do another challenge like this mid/end Jan 07 because I don't think I would keep focused without all of you guys posting on here.
    4. .................there was a no. 4 but I can't remember it now!!

    Luv Jxxx

    Ok I have sat down with my bank statement and my spreadsheet of winnings... I have made a grand total profit of £131.25 through match betting! :D

    A few alterations on my challenge spreadsheet and my total is now £264.54 which means my next target is £512 by 7th January!! Better get my skates on with some more match betting as I'm in France for 2 weeks in December with no broadband... :eek:

    Unfortunately my Mum has bought a house in the middle of nowhere in France, I would say the nearest Internet cafe is about 45 minutes away... I think I'll just have to have 2 weeks off betting and just do all I can on dial-up! :)
