Yes it should.

And your attitude stinks.

I do matched betting taking advantage of bonus offers and easily make £1,000 per month profit. You could start small with around £100 just doing a small offer each week and work your way up.

It's not for the faint-hearted.... the very thought of it petrifies me. There's such an opportunity for error for people without a straight eye when it comes to decision making on a screen.

What is match betting, I don't know nothing about football. £1000 profit is very good.

That's from £5,000 capital which I've saved up over the years after starting from £100. It's where you back something to win and lay an opposing bet on the opposite outcome i.e for it to lose. You will always win but you just about always lose a little bit of money...but you now have a free bet to play with and can convert this free bet into cash which offsets the loss you made qualifying for this free bet and a bit more. Once all the money has cleared back into your bank account you do the next offer. Starting slow you might only make £10 per week but after you get the hang of it and as long as you can save the profit and not be tempted to spend any of the profit then you can make a fair bit.

Have a look on the matched betting board. If you don't have enough savings don't consider it. It will tie up funds which you will need for living expenses for quite a long time.

What makes you think you will get JSA if you are fired? The DWP are not so stupid. There is very little difference between getting fired and walking out, as far as provision of JSA is concerned.

IF you start match betting, please read the board carefully. Including the bit which tells you that you should not risk money you can't afford to lose. Start VERY small and carefully, and ask for lots of advice along the way.

If you can't work out how to find out more about MB once you have read this post, then it isn't for you.

Ease up. Person posting in distress.


Lets hope you hold the same view of someone who takes 2 years to find the 'perfect job'

I would suggest taking yourself to the nearest recruitment agency and signing on with them. Do that this afternoon and potentially you could be back in paid employment on Monday!

If you don't have the mo ey to lose, I would stay away from matched betting.

You can be reactive and wait until everything falls down around your ears, or you can be proactive and do something about it now, before it is too late.

The choice is entirely yours. I wish you luck

No thanks, it's a discussion forum, I'll post up what I like to put my viewpoint through.

I'll stand by my viewpoint that his attitude stinks, on the basis of what he chose of his own free will to post, i.e.

I quit due to the amount of work that I was being forced to do and I couldn't do it.

I and lots of people on this very forum get lots of work to do on a day-to-day basis, it isn't a valid reason to just go "!!!! it, I quit" then just want the public coffers to step in, regardless of the fact that you chose to quit and weren't made redundant or sacked.

but since people work hard until the can't any more and quit, they can't even access the tax and NI they paid when they need it through JSA.

I get a hell of a lot taken off me every month under the Tax and NI columns on my payslip, it isn't a piggy bank that I'm paying in to and can just make a withdrawal when I decide I don't want to go into work any more. There is a reason why they don't give you benefits if you chose to make yourself voluntarily unemployed.

I will now have to take any crap temp job I get and then hopefully get fired so that I can get JSA.

Maybe you should leave that "crap job" as you so eloquently put it, to someone more deserving of a job, who'll actually appreciate that an employer is employing them, rather than taking a job off the market in the hopes that you can get sacked from it to get JSA.

Any more?

I was working for a business a year and quit my job.

I have been paying national insurance for 3 years. I never saved my money and have very little to live on.

Since I quit my job I don't think I will be able to claim JSA for 26 weeks.
I am single with no kids. What am I able to do, starve, pull a job out of the air.

I quit due to the amount of work that I was being forced to do and I couldn't do it.

Did you look for another job while you worked your notice period?

Yes of course you are entitled to your opinion, although we're all a bit naïve if you think all employers also sign up to job for life - they don't. I've worked for enough businesses now where they just don't want OR need someone long term!! there is no guarantee either side I think you'll find.


Because it doesn't take long for the wind to change, only this afternoon someone was in for an interview (friend of the employer's who had suddenly become available, I'm no fool) compared to an agency invoice in addition costing money for a worker, I sincerely hope I'm wrong but already know which I'd go for (as them) when asked if I will be back next week.

I thought you didn't get JSA if you were sacked?
