    wow I've really fallen off the wagon with this challenge recently and properly lost track of where I am and what I'm up to :( I'll try to figure it out and I'm hoping to put some things on ebay this weekend so that might help!!

  • Had my best month since January, making £240.01, mainly from matched betting, but a little bit of cashback and survey money there too.

    Don't really think I can make £11,000, but I'll go for as much as I can!

    Evening! I'm in for £50 a week challenge.

    Done my nail art training today, some lovely designs. Must get practising and get pictures up on Facebook!

    Spent £73 on the main monthly groceries (loads of ingredients for my meal plan) and put £11.83 on my Asda savings card. (£1.83 was an over charge so I just asked for it to be refunded on the card.) So thats at £31.83 of £144 saved towards Christmas.

    One more payment left on my car!!! :j:j:j

    Yea it is a bit awkward at first.

    Basically, you make a bet, say on Man Utd to beat Liverpool, then on betfair 'lay' Manchester Utd (the pink box). If Man Utd win, you will win at the bookies. If they lose or draw, you win in betfair. In doing this you will make a small loss.

    The purpose of doing this is to obtain the free bet that the bookies offer - eg deposit £25, wager it, and we will give you £25. If you do the same thing again with the free bet, you make a guaranteed profit,

    You are effectively paying a few pence for a free bet.
