    Well, I'm back. Grandad's doing a little better. I hope things improve for Catwoman and family - a wedding is definitely something to look forward to.

    Came back to £45 worth of ebay sales so have updated totals. Another couple of books have sold on Amazon but will wait for a grand total before adding it.

    Good question. I started by playing blackjack but kept losing so went on to roulette and bet on evens and odds. Simple, easy and you have more chances of winning than blackjack.

    It worked for me anyway!!

    Thanks - I just feel a bit nervous about the £50 you have to risk - if you don't win , 3 weeks seems a long time to wait and hope you get the refund!

    i posted this in the thread above, but i'll put it here as well

    ok, the prospect of winning more was to strong so i reversed my withdrawl of £86.40 and played more blackjack. i got up to over £300, then played mroe, down to £27 :(

    but, i got back up to £367.40 where i stopped and withdraw it. total profit £317.40 for about half an hours work! my hards are shaking so much!

    thats basically my March target achieved in less half an hour

    WORD OF WARNING! GAMBLING CAN BE ADDICTIVE. DO THIS WITH CARE. I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU LOSE YOUR OWN MONEY BECAUSE OF MY STORY

    I played blackjack and used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack to help me out. scroll down to the "Basic Strategy" section and use that table as a guide to help you win. it doesn't always work, but most of the time it does. good luck to those who try it!

    Weebit - how long will you have to wait for your winnings?

    it sits in waiting at Yukon Gold for 2 days (so you can reverse it if you wish), after which they will transfer it to my prefered method of payment. i chose Neteller.

    You referred to Yukon Gold earlier but I didn't realise it was part of this - sorry to ask yet another question but does Neteller work for you? I seem to have had endless problems with it and it still hasn't shown my bingo winnings whereas other winnings sent to my debit card at the same time have come through, but not to Neteller........

    I have some books which are not Amazon or Play types - they are from teacher training so are education type - does anyone know of a site where I can sell these? I have tried one called Sell student books but nothing has sold from there.

    hey asset,

    i sold a bunch of my uni books through the uni itself, just typed up a list of titles and stuck them on the notice boards with my email address for people to contact.

    The ones i didnt get rid of i listed on amazon and they went after a month or so

    HTH xx
