    I stopped because I ran out of the "easy" bookies. It does take time to look for good matches and if you are not focused properly, you can make silly and costly mistakes!

    If you are in the right frame of mind, then great - if you are tired, and in the wrong frame of mind, then walk away from the spreadsheet!

    For the second part of my year, my head was not in the right place for matched betting - I couldn't afford to make mistakes so I walked away for a while.

    Now I am getting back into the "zone" so ready to make another "hit"!!!

    I can appreciate that. Fortunately I made a couple of big mistakes really early on (the price of jumping in feet first before fully understanding it) which has REALLY focused my mind. I'd rather have done it now than when the amounts are bigger !!!
    I don't really want to do this as a challenge as such as I think that can create pressure and with pressure comes mistakes but I'm happy to share thoughts (and arbs :) ) and support.

    There is no challenge running here, Duchy - just a few of us who used to do it, have let it lapsed and want to get back into it - no targets, no competition, just a gentle reminder to each of us that there is money out there that we are quite capable of making if only we got our backsides into gear!!
