    Paid off another £7.18 and 38.16 matched betting and top cashback payment Bringing me down to under 4k , and so close to 50% lowest it's been in years I feel I can do this even if I only get to 2k by christmas it's a great big dent so far. :T

    Mummy, can you please let me know what this matched betting is? I am very interested! Is it just normal betting?:cool:
