    Loved the updated recipe Gallygirl.
    Am seriously impressed with your gambling winnings. Am going to read up on Matched Betting. As a sideline that could be very helpful.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Can you point me to these betting posts?
    I can't imagine this is a long-term guaranteed way of making money.... Hence the name "gambling". I tried spreadbetting a few times and lost out overall.

    1. It's not gambling, other people are using that terminology. Gambling, spreadbetting, technical analysis etc. are all a load of nonsense IMHO.
    2. It's guaranteed if you do it right and check your figures.
    3. There has been a board on the subject on MSE that started many years ago (2008?), so it's fairly sustainable.

    I remember loads of DWF testing the matched betting waters Ed, and very successfully too - I think particularly hypno and southern scouser used it to their advantage towards debt freedom. I seem to recall it is absolutely fail safe as long as you do your research.

    By the way, I always thought you were an Edinburgh guy through and through - I will now have to read your posts in a weedgie accent;)

    I don't have a Weegie accent, as I grew up in the Borders. I'm intelligible, becoming more Scottish in proportion to beer consumed.

    Sorry Ed .... apologies...its me who called it gambling. In my defence I did grow up on a racing yard. I've met some very nice professional gamblers :)
    Anything to do with betting reminds me I really did mean to put £25 on that very pretty grey mare in the 3.15 at Doncaster :rotfl: I really don't have the right mindset :)

    I would also like to say that there are many, many different types of weegie accent depending on area:p
    Mortgage OP 2025 £7550/7000
    Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

    Mortgage balance: £34,196

    Money making challenge £78/400
