Just needed to be heard for a little while

Yes, I confess, match betting is a bit addictive. It combines the crossword puzzle thing with making free, and tax free, money.....

Just tried reading those intro posts about matched betting.
The idiot's guide is obviously too highbrow for my poor brain.
Is there an epsilon semi-moron's guide to matched betting?

Seriously though, I could feel the cottonwool in my head expanding as I read it, so perhaps it's not for me.
Shame there isn't a matched betting using etymology, :eek: or music!
I'd love that!

You are not alone Pyxis, it went waaaay over my head!! :rotfl:


But then I can't do sums and have no idea what to do with Excel!

Ah, but spreadbetting is gambling. Match betting isn't. You can only lose money if you make a mistake (which means you haven't checked something, it's not actually difficult once you understand it).

Is there a very simple way to explain it JM? Or do you have a link, I've searched but can't find. Would you say there's no chance of a loss providing you do everything correctly? I don't do gambling but I rather fancy another holiday

Love your name Joanthebone :-)

I'll PM you the very simple intro to the intro, DUKE. It comes in 2 chapters - if you like CH1 it would be good to have an email address to send CH2, as it is over 5000 characters and so a pain to send via PM (I deleted a couple of jokes to squeeze it in when I've sent it to others!)

How is everyone today?
Managed some crunchy nut cornflakes and hot milk. Am in the living room I really need to clean with the door closed keeping out of the way of Mr Moo moody bottom.
For some reason my male dog decided to growl at the living room at 2.45am I was actually asleep OH cam in and woke me up.
He then decided that both of them would come in the bedroom meaning porky princess had a grrrr attack so I had to get up.
Had 3 hours sleep so less patience than usual.

I'm hanging around aimlessly. Abroad parent may be back today from seeing ill relative, but as they haven't managed to contact me over the last few days I'm not sure what's happening or even if the flight is today.
Filling in time alternating cleaning and clicker training with Gitdog. The penny is not dropping and I can't make it any easier - he's not thick, just hasn't learned to work things out for himself. Am probably about to give up and go for a walk instead.

Is git dog food focused? Porky princess will perform whatever is asked for food and occasionally loves (she was 'house trained' when we got her which they thought meant having the back door open all the time, she likes to make mommy happy so quickly figured you tell me you need toilet and your walked a regular times. Mommy really happy when you poop outside)
Laurs isn't food focused so we have to use toys to try and train him.

Well done on your crunchy nuts, melly!

I must tell you all about an offer one of the casinos ran over Christmas. I didn't actually do it, but it made the headlines in our little community of match bettors (cos you can do 'advantage play' where you win over the long term, at casinos as well, but that obviously isn't risk free.)

One of the casinos launched a scratchcard where you won if your number was higher than the printed number on the scratchcard. But they were all TEMPERATURES. (This was made clear on the scratchcard - clearer than it's easy to demonstrate here.) And apparently the punters didn't believe the casino when they said that -8 (that is MINUS EIGHT) is actually a lower number than -6 (MINUS SIX). The casino was beseiged with people saying that they had won because (using this example) 8 is higher than 6..........

The scratchcard was discontinued after a few days.....
