Hiya SS, you fabulous over-payer-of-debts, you! :wave:

You're doing brilliantly! Gawd knows what I was thinking trying to keep up with you I've been beating myself up this month because I've only overpaid £300. To think that 7-8 months ago it wouldn't have even occurred to me to overpay!

Keep up the good work :T

Hey you're not far behind! You need to have a read of the matched betting newbies thread!

Well I've got another £98.94 of payments to come out by the end of the month so will be then!

:T :T :T :T Fantastic! This last £1000 seems (for us lot!) to have gone down quickly!

Well being a true nerd I can tell you that I broke into the £18's on May 22nd!

Sad ain't it? :rotfl:

Bit nerdy that you know the exact date , but the fact that you've gone down £1k in pretty much 3 weeks is mighty impressive :T :T

I've done matched betting. Barring a few big bookies that I couldn't use (already registered), I made around £1,200 then ran out of easy bookies. Couldn't be bothered with the 10% deposit bonuses with ridiculous T&Cs. My own fault - too lazy!

Mind you, £1,200 in about 4 months was pretty handy! I managed to overpay my debts by £1,600 last month, which is why I'm beating myself up over "only" £300 of overpayments this month.

I think I can comfortably overpay by £250-£300 a month from now on. I should go easy on myself.

Sorry - it's not about me is it!! Thanks for the tip about MB'ing, though. Anyone else who hasn't done it - I'd recommend it, although you really need to understand it before you start. My brother had to explain it to me quite a few times, then show me a few times, before it finally sunk in. Well worth it though :T

I've already registered with Sportingodds & Coral. Don't think I'd get another freebie

And with Coral, there is a bonus for depositing and typing in the promo code. It literally only takes 10 minutes and you come out with £7.50 guaranteed.
