mbing can be a great way to make extra money ...i've made some but by no means loads approx £200 (dont know exact figure as my laptop broke with all my figures n it) but as everyone else has said re and re-read everything ask questions and make sure you understand everything there is to know about it ...i have an angel helping me learn the ins and outs but am gladly taking my time in making the money it aint a race...good luck whatever you decide to do0

James £1800 is very impressive well done :T0 -
I started about 5 months ago and so far have made about 800 quid.
I've not been doing it very much in the last few months though. I should start doing it again I suppose.0 -

I think the trick to the big bucks is re-investing winnings - which depends on your financial situation.
Personally we withdrew £100 worth of pure profit (from free bets) in Feb and blew it all
Was well worth it for motivation purposes though.
I'd say I'm doing £100 a month at the mo but probably could do moreNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130
