    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 do

    Personally, betting is how I got into trouble in the first place, just be careful it is addictive, I havent had any type of bet now for 3 weeks

    thanks southwester for the warning it is important for people to realise that there can be risks and addiction can be one of them ...you have to be absolutely positive before you undertake mbing about it all ...but i personally find it worth it

    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.

    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 :D Was well worth it for motivation purposes though.

    I'd say I'm doing £100 a month at the mo but probably could do more
