Hi, think you're in the wrong forum section

you'll find all info here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=41

but be very careful, as MSE Martin says "
Not 'how to gamble' but how to make free cash from casino/bookies/spread betting intro offers. Please be careful - risking your cash isn't MoneySaving"

There is practically no risk if you do it right, read the beginners thread a few times, you should be able to clear that overdraught in a few months

Just type in "get paid for surveys" into google.co.uk and you'll see a massive line of sites you can join.

then if one takes your fancy, type it's name into the search section on here and you'll probably see a lot of chat about whether that particular company is good or not - but people cannot chat in detail about it and there will be some companies that do not allow you to chat about it at all.

Personally I use www.valuedopinions.co.uk and have had £30 from them in three months for surveys so not too bad. But you'll need to make your mind up yourself which ones suit.

Also, for secret shopping I use www.gapbuster.com

But, as mentioned, enter search words into google.co.uk and you'll find something that is best for you.

Hi Mad money,There is a really low element of risk to matched betting if you do it properly. The idea is to place a bet for one outcome with s company like coral and then place a bet for the opposite outcome with betfair.
The idea is to take advantage of all the free bets that the bookies give out and can be very good to get a little extra. Bingo is a no no as no way to lock in a profit but provided you do your research first and enlist the assistance of the lovely board peeps it honestly can be good.
Take care

snap - my hubby has a real problem with gambling. It is under control now but even going near online betting with or without 'free' bets is a no - no in my house

Good luck to the rest of people, but I think your analysis of your weakness means you have made a spot on decision!
