Well done Lenny :T
We moved around our entire conversatory around today, thankfully just before the rain came in!
Betfair usually settle pretty quickly on the footy so if there's a clear winner from the gee gee's it should be within an hourNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Whoooo hooo, one of the eight horses i spread my bets over won! £33.00 in my winnings!
Plus i bet on Celtic to get beat by Motherwell (and yes, i am a celtic supporter but i had a hunch!) and they did get beat, so another £30 up!
£63.00 off my free bets, plus £50 in Quidco!!! omigod!!!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
I won over a hundred quid on my free bets and that is without the £30 cashback from quidco. hurrah, that will make a small dent in my credit card - yippeeeeeeeeee. Just waiting for my free £25 to cash out.
And there was me wondering how I would manage to keep on track for my pay £20k off by xmas this month with loads of birthdays to go to. Problem solved thanks to Martin, Betfair, Quidco and a couple of rather speedy horses.£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

Can I just say to anyone who's bet and won/lost - PLEASE don't get into regular mug betting. You will end up losing.
If you understand the layout of bookies and want to almost guarantee a profit - look into matched bettingNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -

Good point raised Gemmzie.
I used to gamble on and off...never very much, but too much in the cirumstances. I stopped gambling because I was worried I might go down another wrong path, so now I only matched bet.I'm the only gay in this forum

I only gamble with free bets, but yes good point Gemmzie. Easy to get carried away with offers like Betfair etc.I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0

Whooo Hooooo another winner here, £64 on the horse and £50 from Quidco...turning into a good weekend!!!! DH is annoyed now that he didn't do it...he's far too sceptical and said I wouldn't get the money back.
Lenny the shed erection is looking great, well done you!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Cheers Gemmzie - couldn't agree more.
NEVER bet more money than you can afford to screw up and flush down the toilet
