Would love to go and see the game at Wembley but bet we can't get tickets.

I would love to see Portsmouth win the FA cup - I'd love to see Sol Cand David James playing at Wembley:T and lifting the cup - with Middlesborough out surely it's theirs!;) Mind you my kids all want a non- prem side to win.

Hi,TallGirl
Hope you don't mind me asking- I am interested in MB and need to study it all a lot more,but I am impressed with your profit in the last month and was interested to find out how much of your time it has taken to make said profit?!!
Just wondering how "do-able" it may be for me with 3 kids and job ! Thanks!!

Well I do work from home and sometimes I end up spending hours reading MSE instead of actually doing any work. However if I look at it realistically I would say:

• 1 hour in the morning reading the Gambling Board (still learning and a good way to find new offers).
• 30 min one or two evenings mid week to bet on mid week football.
• 1 hour Sat/Sun to bet on football.
• 20min about 11am on looking at bets for horses but not every day obviously.

I tend to do no more than 2 bookies at a time as I don't have enough money to bankroll any more. Once you sign up to a new bookie you usually have to place some qualifying bets. They can be of low odds and are therefore easier to match. Like say T*te I am doing now I needed to bet £50 to get a free £50 bet so as it could be placed at any odds I would look at football and something like Man U or Arsenal game. Then the tricky bit comes to find a match for the free bet if you don't get the stake returned, as it needs to be high odds. I can spend ages looking for them as if I go much higher than 8 or 9 I won’t have enough in Betfair to cover it.

So with all this rambling on I would say you should be able to do it as long as you start slowly and don't sign up for lots of things at the same time. Good luck feel free to ask any questions

Cheltenham has been abandoned better hurry over to the MB Board to find out more. At least I only have 1 free bet of £50 on plus Betfair.

Right just had to spend some time looking at MB with Cheltenham being off but I should be OK as I only had 1 bet and I should be able to relay that.

Had a really good work trip to Devon, met some great people so that is great. It is still really stormy here and my neighbour has complained that our fence is moving about in the wind and he is worried about his car. It is only 1 post and I am sure we can fix that with some more concrete. Can't do anything as long as it is so windy.

Got a nice appointment for the end of May in Devon Friday just before the Bankholiday so might try to see if I can get DH to come with me.

Send off the endownment claim thing and posted our tile choices to the fitter so we shall wait for the next step now.

Today I am doing mostly paperwork and my boss wants some answers from me. I don't really have any and I am feeling reall tired after my long drive yesterday. Feel like being really lazy today - yes I know that is bad.

Thanks TG for your reply-I'm going to print off MB Newbies Guide and do major study of it! Your offer of further info is much appreciated too! :beer:

TallGirl

No worries Biglass take your time and ask lots of questions that is the only way you are going to get there. Make sure you download the spread sheet MS Matcher and play around with some potential figures.

Still not done any work really must get on with it.

Right time to update as I was out all day yesterday. I had a bit of a mini crisis with Tuesday at Cheltenham being cancelled. I had placed my SNR free bet at odds of 5 and layed at 5 for a £38.38 return on the £50. Now that wasn't that great but I settled for it.

Then Cheltenham got cancelled Tuesday and my lay bets was voided but the one at the bookie stood at 5. The race was reformed to run yesterday but the odds were now 5.4 at Betfair so that meant I would only get £35.51 back. I know it is not a lot but I decided to lay it at 5 and see if the odds would move closer. They didn't so I left yesterday morning hoping someone would take my odds at 5. This might sound complicated but basically when you MB you act as a bookie and someone takes your odds. I know I should have cut my losses and taken the 5.4 as what I did is actually gambling. To cut a long story short someone took my odds of 5 and all ended well.

Nearly finished P*rtybets but I placed 1 bet before I activated the bonus so still have about £40 worth of bets to do. Not too difficult really.

Signed up with B*tfred for their £100 free bets. Just placed my qualifier waiting for the free bet.

Will total everything up soon but think I have on about £560 profit.

Hope you are all having a good weekend. It is really grey and wet here but at least I played golf yesterday and we saw a bit of the sun. The match was for the ladies and it was tallies vs shorties and no guesses who I played for. I got paired with one of the best ladies we have and we bet them on the 17th so quite nice. Won an Easter Chocolate Bunnie.

Could not match bet a lot yesterday as I was playing golf but decided to sign up for 1 more bookie. B*ylesports have an offer of £250 free bets and it needed to be done by Tuesday. They limit people really quickly as to how much they can bet so it is hard to get all the free bets. Well I got my first bet in it was a max off £100 for a £100 free bet.

Then I got the next one at £140 and the next one today at £100 so now I just need 3 more bets to cover the last £10 to make the average £50 and get a free £50 bets. Then it is on to the next 5 x £50. So far so good lets hope they don't see me as a bonus bagger and limit me.

B*tfair is a bit of a pain, still no free bet which should have been with me Saturday. They did email to say I would get it Sunday but still nothing so will leave it now. Just need to bet 5 x £10 when I get it to get the last £50 of a total of £100 so no rush.

Partybets is all done and I have asked for a payout. Finally got my £10 free bet from Unibet so bet that today on some Rugby League game and I hope they loose then I am out of that one. Otherwise I need to wager it to get it out.

Finally was bit naughty on Friday and put some money on Bingo. I have actually given up since starting matchbetting but my favorite site BingoCabin sent me a £200% reload offer. I deposited £20 and won a bit on bingo. You need to get to $50 before you can withdraw and if you do you loose the entire bingo bonus balance which is where the 200% reload offer goes in. So I thought OK it is only £20 (play in $) and I do like a bit on bingo and slots now and then.

Spent the real money so was left with the bingo bonus which can only be used on Bingo of about $80. Was by now getting bored and bought the max amount of tickets and won Hang Alfie. You win the pot plus they give you the same amount again in real money as long as you claim it. I was able to take out $197 cool but that was gambling and I won't do it again.

Had to go and see the in-laws yesterday, they are 83 and 79 but doing quite well. They do argue quite a bit which is depressing and having to have to football on the entire time we are there I could do without. At least I had a bet on Tottenham which made it slightly more interesting. Had a nice chat with FIL about Match Betting and he seems to get it however he would struggle to use a PC but might keep that in mind.

Just logged into my account this morning, B*tfred promised me their £50 free bet Sunday still nothing today so emailed them again. However B*ylesport have now given me a total of £150 now. Placed two more bets with them on the Birmingham game tonight. That is 8 bets I have managed to place without gettting limited fingers crossed I now only need 3 more to a total of £30 to get the next £50. My free bet will return me £80 out of £100 which I am happy with.

Still no news about the bathrooms waiting for the fitter.

Going to the picutures and a meal with a good friend tonight so really looking forward to that.

Hi Tallgirl ! You're doing well with the matched betting and the golf - choccie bunnies rule ok.. but naughty on the bingo - still, actually, if thats your entertainment, its fair enough - people spend that on a meal out.
