    Hi SS,

    Haven't nosed around your diary for a while and since I have let me matched betting slip (having work my way through the straight forward SRs), I cannot believe how far you have got your debt down to.

    Well done. I guess you dont need any more praise of me as you already have quite a high status around here, but I just wanted to add my 2cents (sorry, being an Aussie I still miss dollars and cents) worth.

    All the best,
    Bec
  • Thanks becca. :)

    Why have you let the MB slip? :eek:

    Get back into it. Loads of offers floating about right now! :D

    Tit! :rolleyes:

    Send them an email mate coz you'll get charged about £12 for a bank transfer. Ask them to put moneybookers back on as a withdrawal option. But if you do deposit again by card it dissapears!

    You done Stryyke yet?

    Really. They were alright with me. Just say that you get charged £12 a time and it's making betting with them not worth it! Mind you if you keep winning there they probably won't care! ;)

    Stryyke is 100 euro deposit for 125 euro bonus. They have a RAF aswell apparently. 5 x WR. Min odds of 1.3

    I've not found a good match yet. Waiting for others to help me out! :p
  • This has got to be the most boring thread on MSE as there is absolutely nothing to update but I still feel obliged to when really it only needs doing once a month! :rotfl:

    I just keep repeating the same crap. Do matched betting. Make overpayments. £1,000 a month. £1,500 a month. £2,000 a month. Loan. No credit cards.

    Boom. Sorted! :rolleyes:

    Hows the bingo going for you SS? I've been so slack on MB. My funds are low, I can't do any of these lovely new offers till April :(
