    Hello all,

    I've been watching from afar and you have all done brilliantly!

    Please could I join you for phase 2? I would like to go for Gold (although I shall be trying to hit the target by May - credit card to pay off!)

    Any tips from the seasoned challengers would be welcome! As you can see from my signature Greenmetropolis.com hasn't helped me but feel welcome to see if you can pick up several bargain books to sell on at a profit!

    Hi Floxxie - welcome to the challenge
    Check my post #2661 which tells of how I got to my total - you should read other posts about matched betting etc to give yourself a general idea of how to give yourself a fighting chance.
    Good luck and look out for initial post on the 6th and add your name then to the list.

  • I might go for the silver if its over 6 months

    Not sure if i can make £80 a week (i made around £53 a week this time)

    but with more knowledge i hope i can do it

    still gonna try and steer clear of the matched betting (am proud of resisting my demons this challenge) but will make it harder to get there

  • you can usually make free money off the online betting companies, you play all their offers off each other and if your good enough with maths you can make it so your guaranteed a profit. That is of course if you havnt already used all the initial offers before.
