    Wow, well done to everyone winning at bingo etc! :T :T I don't have much luck with these things unfortunately :(

    I've made a decision though - I'm going to use matched betting to try and crack this challenge. I need a fair pot to start off with in order to make the most of the bookies' offers... so I am going to charity shop --> ebay like mad and hope to build up enough to get started. I think to get started on some £25 bets at short odds I need about £50 in betfair as a minimum... so I'm aiming to get £75 together :o :T

    I feel like at least I have a realistic target now... I will hit the charity shops at the weekend with renewed enthusiasm! :D

    Just received an email from FHM gaming saying the following;
    "I am contacting you in regards to your online withdrawal from your account at FHM Gaming.

    Please be aware that your withdrawal has been declined and the funds returned to your account.

    In line with the £10 new user signup bonus, if you wish to request any promotional funds that have not been fully wagered, you are required to send a stamped self-addressed envelope to the address below, and a cheque will be sent to you within 180 days.

    Please be advised that Sic Bo, Roulette and Mini-Baccarat do not count towards the wagering requirements as stated on our website http://www.fhmgaming.com/client/app/resource/promotions.html"


    Have just read their T&C and cant find anything about the above restrictions!

    Looks like I will not be getting my £15 from them now:cry:

    Had a quick think and decided not to get :mad: but get even....so staked the £15 recredit on Blackjack and won £27 instead (result..I think). Have withdrawn this and will wait and see what happens now.

    On a more successful note have sold an old unwanted gift that I was going to sell on Ebay to a friend for £2.50, not sure now if I am up to £29.50 or stuck at £2.50....all depends on what happens with FHM. Will update my sig anyway and see what happens:confused:

    Hi all - I have been following this thread with interest for a while now! Think I may aswell count myself in!!

    Have been trying a few tips that others have given (Thanks btw!!) and am off to a good start, but think I may get my thinknig cap on for the later doubles!!

    Have so far: FHM - £17.50 (with the free £10)
    NOTW Bingo - £47.47 (with the free £5)
    And I completed a mystery shopping assignment - £65

    So total to date is £129.97 :T

    Ps I love the wallchart idea (sorry can't remember who 'tis on the tip of my [STRIKE]tongue[/STRIKE]fingers)- must get the kids busy with the felt pens!!!

    Good luck all - off to update my sig!

    Well done Josie - your off to a flying start

    BTW woke up to an e-mail saying I've sold another of my free PS2 games so after postage it's another £11.49 profit for my total.:j

    Kathfisch- when you have the hang of matched betting can you pass on some instructions - try as I might I can't get my head round it!!!!:rolleyes:

    Morning Emily
    How are your ebay sales going? Have you put your charity shop finds on yet?? I'm off to a jumble sale on saturday - luckily my M-I-L is running it so I can go in early and get a sneak preview. Shall be looking for books/cd's and DVD's for amazon and anything I can make a profit on at my car boot sale on Sunday or anything that will sell well an Ebay. IYO what does sell well on Ebay?
    Have a nice day
  • My payment was refused from FHM too and when I bet it I lost it all :(
    Car £1500
    Parents £5000
    Barclaycard £900.68
    + 127,000 Mortgage :eek:
    all on my lonesome

    Just bought small bundle clothes on Ebay for £11 odd. Hopefully will make profit - we shall see.
    BTW - forgot to mention earlier that ALL my things I have for my carboot were free so any cash I earn (-table fee) will be pure profit.
    Fingers crossed
