2007 Olympic Challenge

Well I jumped in with both feet and had a go at the matched betting. Signed up with Coral, Betinternet, Betfair and Tote - messed up a bit with Betinternet as didn't read the T&C correctly (always a good idea!) so am down £2.16 there, but overall i have made £49.34 already. Still not quite sure how it works, but followed the instructions on gambling forum and jumped in blindly. Have just joined with paddy power and hope to make £8.00ish on MK Dons v Lincoln tonight.

Also joined some through quidco so a bit more to come from there.:j But only realised about quidco later and have missed out on about £30 by rushing in

Have gathered loads of stuff to put on ebay, just got to find the time to do it...

Hope everyone else is going well

Wish I had the courage to try matched betting.... I can't even work out what I would win if I backed a horse at 3/1 and it won, let alone each way and lay betting, and betting on a loss etc etc etc.

The good news is that I found a £1 coin on my way to the shop today, and instead of spending it, it is in my piggy bank making friends with my 20ps.

(And yes, I AM barking mad!)

iv just totted up and so far in pigsback accounts i have over £50. not adding that to my total yet though as will get more as chaalenge goes on and it might come in usefull at a later date.
just a thought has anyone signed up to playandwincom? you play games to earn points then change the points to tickets and you could win £200. i havent won yet but its still very addictive

Yes, I'm addicted to the games! Have only one once but it's the taking part that counts Not even sure what the tickets are all about so will have to check that out if I have a (ok, very small!) chance of £200.

Oh, watch for pigsback as I'm sure I read somewhere that they piggypoints expire...

I've sold some more items with Buy It Now on Ebay so my total has shot up to £61.00!

I'm going to have to find some more stuff to Ebay tomorrow (off sick from work which is handy ).

Off to a good start!

My ebay items that ended yesterday made me £101.20 and I just sold a book on Amazon.

I will update my total every Saturday so I can keep track of where I'm up to.

Six months trying to resist the tempetation of matching betting which is gonna be hard

I got a payment at the weekend for working Sunday as an extra to my normal hours so that is me off to a start with £48.89. :j

I go on holiday Friday for 2 weeks so I will probably not add much if anything before I go. Will have to start and play catch up when I return. :cool:

This is going to be so much fun!! :beer:

I have decided to keep a spreadsheet of what I have added so I can update my siggy. Am going to split any 'earnings' between my savings account and my cruise fund. :T

Ok, so I matched bet today Hopefully that'll all go well, Quidco has tracked it for payment in Feb so fingers crossed.

Also I added up my change today so that's £11.61 :j
