    Did you get anywhere? I am going to reserve my lunch time to work it all out - I keep seeing the huge figures in people's signatures and I'm sooooo jealous

    can i just remind everyone that it is coming to the end of footbal season and whilst you can use a different sport football is the easiest ...the odds are slim pickings at the moment. would be a good idea to spend the next wee while figuring out how it works though

    Hi elantan - I've just posted exactly that (for me, not as advice) in the 101 days to change our lives thread, work it all out. What I've read over at the mb board, tho, is that other football seasons are still going - I guess in Australia?? - and they're still available. Hope so, anyway, I certainly want to stick to footie at first.

    Just a note to anyone considering taking this up but is still a little unsure - go for it but make sure you research it for quite a while!

    I stumbled across the practice on these forums and was very hesitant as I am a very risk averse person but after reading it trhough time after time I went for it. I have now made in excess of £1000 over the past three months without really trying any of the complicated stuff.

    there are other seasons going i'm sure but if you go to betfair and look at the lays there isnt much there at all a good friend and myself spent hours looking for one bet over two days as there was no availability ...i would recommend mbing it is a fantastic way to make money it has helped me more than i could imagine ...but i am slowing down now gonna take a break till footie season starts again...there are still a few available though if you look ...but if your just getting started then my advice would be spend the time reading and absorbing and then by the time footie season starts again two and a half months you'll be raring to go and the profits will be easier to come by cutting down on the time you need to spend looking for the bets...good luck to everyone that is gonna do it it is worth it (in my case it is anyway)
  • Yes, having MB'd for 7 weeks now and managed to get to £550 profits, I can say football is the easiest sport to MB on. Finding good bets to match on when you have a dozen or more european countries with football seasons in full flow, plus half a dozen leagues here to go at is like shooting fish in a barrel. Finding good bets when you've got two or three far away foreign leagues is much harder.
    Now I've started, I will post up a ten-step-programme for MB newbies in here if it would be valuable, and getting yourself ready for the start of the next footy season would be a very good use of time.
