MFi3 & before I am 40 + my MB journey

Hi Tallgirl

Your bathroom sounds like its coming on really well, and it should be lovely, you've put a lot of thought into it.

Sorry you had the big mistake Rovers v Southampton, not pushing the confirm button - I did that at betfair while I was at sbets. Talking of sbets....

plus just asked for my Tuesday top up of £25 from S....tingbets. I need to find high odds to use those as they are stake non returned.

They're snr???? I know you're being looked after by Tim, but sbets were the first ones I did, and I didn't do them as snr.... ? Or am I completely off the wall here?

Interesting that you're doing VC, I'll have a look at them next.

Keep going!

TallGirl

You are right they are SR, I must have got myself mixed up with VC as they are SNR. I ended up with £500+ with VC but they refunded no problem at all.

Just come back from playing golf. Didn't play too badly and I got a 2 on a par 3 so won £3. The inlaws are coming down this afternoon, I have not seen them for 3 weeks so it will be nice to see them.

Off to chill a bit before hand maybe read the paper.

Tall girl - im thinking of doing matched betting, how much do you think i will need to put by to get started? All my spare money goes into my mortgage, but would like to keep some back for the MB!!!

TallGirl

Great news Catowen you wont regret I have learned so much. I had originally decided to have £200 float but I am now up to £550 of my own money and £300 winnings. You will need that when you are doing the bigger ones such as £50 SNR bets. I am happy to help you in you want to get started but do read the guide and get a rough idea first.

Thanks TG, will get some money together and maybe start next month - i read the guide a while back so understand it a little, but might take you up on your offer of help - i think its the fact there are so many different sites that get me confused!!

You are doing really well on it tho - does that include any cashback from any click sites? I do loads of clicks, so will def be looking at going through a few of those to help bump up any earnings!!

TallGirl

No the £300 is pure MB profits as I had done most of the bingo/casino offers so could not sign up again. I think the only one I got as a cash back was Betfair £25 and Eurobet £5 on the cashback but decided to just count that with my other cashback sites. You can start quite small, Coral and Betfair are good you would need £75 to get started. I am happy to help you.

Got my first Arb tonight that is when you place a bet and lay it and make a small profit. Got £1.70 on a £100 bet. So strange to have found one but really really nice.

Good Morning
Sorry I wasn't around yesterday had to go to London for work. I was so tired when I got back as the train ended up taking an hour longer getting home. There had been a fatal further down the line so it say for 40min just outside my station.

Anyway managed to do a bit of MB when I got home. Got my 3rd free bet from Sp*rtingbet and did another £50 bet with B3*5 so now I only need to do 1 more before I get the next £50. Unfortunately Sp*rtingbet is about to stop their £100 free bet one and change it to a smaller one glad I got in in time. Been trying to work out my profits in MB so far but made a total mess of it. I am one month in so it would be nice to have a total. I will try to do the sums below and would be grateful if someone could check to see I am on the right track. I am hopeless with maths.

Really looking forward to Portugal now, have a load of work to be done today and then about 12 tomorow I am off to do some work before we go to the airport. Nice.

TallGirl

Right here it goes here are my figures:

1. Starting float (own money) £600
2. Current money in Bank account: £462.95
3. Money in accounts with 2 bookies I am currently using: £340.23
4. Money in Betfair £302.95

So if this is correct I should have made £506.13 profit.

It does sound a lot - do you think that is correct?

I have done the break downs of each of the bookies and Betfair deducting the deposits from the withdrawal and by doing that it looks like I have made £515.79.

Breakdown as follows
Completed bookies: final withdrawal - deposit=:

Coral £53.98
Ladbrokes £35.00
BgBet £17.03*
Eurobet £50.34
Unibet £50.00
VC Bets £526.00
Betfair £97.05
Sp*rtingbet £63
Bet3*5 £52.23
Total £515.79

*net loss

I know it is only £9 difference but still a bit annoying. I can't be asked to record each bet so just try to record when I deposit and if I complete a bookie record what I make from each.

TallGirl

I have decided that the profit of £515 is the amount I have made but will keep better records from now on.

Realised yesterday after placing my 6th bet of £50 with Bet3*5 that I needed to use the 1st free one before the next one is released. Started looking for odds over 7 as it is a SNR but could not find anything. Then I log in this morning and found someone posting one at 11/11 on the Tips no Chat board which was perfect will give me a return of £43.38 on my free £50 bet. However the liability needed in Betfair is £450 so had to deposit some more into that. I now realise that my float isn't enough but hopefully the game won't end in a 0-0 tonight or I shall have to wait until the bookies realease my money.

Actually I don't really care as we shall be at the airport ready for our flights in the morning. Started packing but haven't been able to ask the neighbours to look after the cat. We are leaving today at midday so need to get on with it. Need to sort out the golfclubs and some clothes but it is only 5 nights so don't need a lot. Really wish we were going for a week now.

Need to put some money into our new joint Nationwide account so we can get commision free Euro's should be able to do that before we go.

Gosh so much to do and I need to do some work too. Better get off the computer and get on with it. Getting dressed would be a good start.

Back from Holiday, had a fantastic time in Portugal, 25 degrees lovely sunshine blue skies just what you need at this time of year. We sat through the timeshare presentation and it was fine, no pressure and no thanks we dont want to pay 11,000 euro for 1 weeks for 21 years as well as service charges of 700 euro which will rise each year. Took full advantage of all the freebies (breakfast, golf massage) and ate and drank up the road outside the resort. 1 euro for a beer or 4 euro at the resort. Difficult choice....

Got back and unpacked and DH suitcase had been tampered with. He had a carton of 10 B&H in there but the stange thing was there was only 2 packets left and 1 packet of a brand he doesn't smoke. Very strange and his new moblie phone was missing too. I know he should not have sent it in the luggage but its gone now (2 weeks old) and we don't yet know if they have made any calls on it. Can only be the airline staff that have done it, really spoils things a bit.

PS MB going well won a SNR bet of stakes of 11 so had to take some money out to fund Betfair.
