  • only managed to five a 5p on the street today

    but have another £17 coming my way so maybe a look round the charity shops.

    hope to pick up some bargains (but so long as they double th price i pay for them i'll be happy!)

    The match ended with Wycombe winning 2-0 so I have now got £87.62 in my Betfair account when I only deposited £65.00. Obviously I lost £25 on the Totes account but I should have my bonus deposited within 72 hours which I should be able to withdraw meaning that I have got an overall profit so far of £22.62 plus the £30 that I'm going to be getting from Greasypalm and R Points

    £52.62 profit - not bad for an evenings work :D

    I'm off to find another bet ;)

    Keep talking, I'm trying so hard to understand this. You make it sound a lot simpler than the matched betting threads I've read :)

    What is it that you don't understand - I am here to answer questions (although please remember I have only just got my head around this - I think ;) - it's like the blind leading the blind :rotfl: )

    I think its a case of me just watching and it will come to me. I've been on Betfair and Totesport just now and cant even find the same game to bet on lol.

    That game has finished now. I've just put another bet on with Unibet. I deposited £20 and got £20 free. I have therefore bet £40 on Kidderminster v Grays Athletic. I got odds of 2.30 on Unibet for Grays Athletic to win and I got odds against Grays Athletic on Betfair of 2.32.

    We shall wait and see what happens tomorrow although I am not back until Sunday so I will update this post then. I joined Unibet via Greasypalm too and got £15 cashback. It looks like if Grays Athletic do lose that I will get back £18 profit on the £20 I just put into Unibet so I will have a profit of over £30 :D
  • if i had £20 i would take advantage of some matched betting for the football tonight

    off to the charity shops and hope that there are some good cheap cds and software.

    Have £17 quid so could pick up a few pieces

    Good luck everyone for doubling those pounds
