£2.50 found in my pocket plus £64 tax rebate.
£550 owing in accountancy fees and totally destitute but I'm taking the view that all such expenses I would have to find anyway so I'm sticking to my guns and not using the £64 towards the £550 although it is debt.

I have elantan and I made a little money but you need such a big betfair balance to really make decent money. Most of those on the thread have 2-3k to play with and whatever they say it takes time, lots of it. I occasionally match if I'm given a freebee but that's all. Just checked my figures wrong as usual maybe another reason I'm no wizz at the MB. Amazon refund. £3.50 new balance
