Is it Possible?

PS - watch when you're signing up via Top Cashback and Quidco. Some sites have hidden terms I have found - I read about a bingo offer on PA, then went through Quidco to sign up - the bingo site didnt give me a bonus and I questioned it, and it was cos the link I went through via Quidco wasnt the correct link for the bonus. A lot of the bingo offers are on the cashback sites. Some of the sign ups are too, but alot of them have different wagering terms

There's always something you miss eh??? Thanks for the tip ;D

So frustrated today, waiting for funds to get back to my bank account (again). I'll be glad when I'm onto reloads and can use Skrill!

 

[jackieblack]

Gubbed by Betbright..... one bet which lost with them. At least I managed to get the free bet. Ridiculous they can just close an account when it's been open 5 days!

Hey ho, onwards and upwards ???

 

[toffee2014]

I keep reading about closed accounts, why is this? Makes me a little nervous. Yeah it takes ages when you have to wait on transfers. What's Skrill ?

There is a page on PA to do with keeping your accounts open

That will explain everything you need to know

[member=416]toffee2015[/member]

Closed accounts is when the bookies decides you're taking value from them and shuts your account. Can happen at any time but they should refund any money you have in there.

Skrill is like paypal, I think people use it rather than paypal as there's no fee to deposit in and out of bookies accounts, just a fee to send money from Skrill to your bank account.

Takes a while to get to all the information but it's all there in the PA forum. How's it going?

 

[jackieblack]

I've decided slots aren't for me right now..... all those flashing lights and insistence on doing something RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY does my head in. Think I go into flight or fight mode and seize up!

Back to footie

 

[jackieblack]

Another 10 days and am at a bit of a roadblock.

Started doing some of the offers that need rollovers. All of the 3 I started today ended up winning at the bookies - so rollover requirements at 3 bookies and £7 in my BF account. What makes it worse is BF won't let me deposit any money at the moment so I might have to do that tomorrow

I think it's gonna take me all week to get this money through the wagering requirements and I'm not sure how much of the bonus bets I'll have left.

Swings and roundabouts I guess ;D

 

[jackieblack]

As I generally only bet on football matches I've switched to SMarkets. BF were being difficult with me so I've huffed off for now ;D

In other 'news', things are plodding along. I've still not done any casino or bingo offers which I think is keeping my overall profit lowish. I tried a sign up offer with a wagering requirement which didn't turn out well! They kept moving the goalposts, all for a £50 bonus.... it ended up with a rollover amount of £900. I know money's money but I decided to just withdraw and forfeit the £50. Still waiting for £575 back which is stopping me doing any larger offers.

A lot of matches I've bet on have won to the bookies this month so I'm getting a bit frustrated with it. Who'd have thought the spurs match would end in a draw? I thought it was a cert that would win to the exchange ???

I think I'll be happy with £300 at the end of this month.

Just keep plodding..........

 

[jackieblack]

Okay, so it's the 1st of a new month.....

My MB money for April totalled £304.20, pretty good I think but I definitely need to ramp it up.

I'm a bit more comfortable with the whole thing now. I don't use the odds matcher, preferring to find my own matches, but I have been sticking to football. The odds move so fast with horses!

I've done one casino offer (yes, ONE) so I got my £5 returned but didn't make any profit. I really need to do more of these. As it is, I don't do any reloads, no casino and no bingo sites. Obviously I'm not getting the most out of the system, I'm certainly getting nowhere near it's full potential.

I have a bank of £1000 now so I'm going to start the month with a large offer..... B**365 :-* Wish me luck, I'll let you know how it goes

Why unearth aren't you doing reloads?

There are brand new offers on the reloads page everyday!!

I know, I know... I'm basically throwing money away I do find it difficult keeping track of everything but I WILL try harder!

I read the MB thread on here and tbh, half of it goes over my head, it's all so fast. Of course, if I hadn't joined TMS then I wouldn't have even started MB so I'm still making money I wouldn't have (iyswim)

Are you not using ultimatcher to track your matched betting earnings??

Hi [member=3496]jackieblack[/member] , as a beginner I'm finding this thread really interesting and useful, so thanks

I have had a slow start myself with MB as I don't always have access to a PC so it's a bit stop & start which doesn't help with the beginners' nerves! Got on fine with the first beginner offer but the second one fell through as the Betfair site was down at the time I needed it. Still I'm ready to push on. It's good to see how other people are able to slowly build it up.

I was wondering about the site that gubbed you.. did you ever get your account back, and was there any difficulty withdrawing your funds?

I'm trying but tbh it all becomes a bit of a jumble...... I will persist though, short term pain for long term gain!

 

[jackieblack]

Been poorly this month and am going away Sunday for the week but some money has been made!

I've ventured into the bingo and casino offers and although it's slow going (I still panic when 'gambling') I'm getting the hang of it. No real luck on the slots yet but I'm about £50 up on bingo overall. Can't complain at that ;D

I used a £50 FB today on the horses, usually stick to footie but it's slim pickings at the moment. Just my luck, I backed at 9, laid at 9.8 and the bloody thing won at the bookies! Got to wait for £400 to get back to my account. Still, now the bank's bigger, it doesn't hold me up as much.

I shall plod on..... hopefully I can be an inspiration to others whose forte is plodding (no option when you have 'issues')

I'll update figures at the end of the month.

9.0 is WAY too high really when it comes to using your free bets

That's just s one way ticket to gubsville

 

[jackieblack]

[member=1]Jon[/member]

Yeah, I know... unfortunately the odds were moving really quickly (as they do with horses) and I just went for the closest match. I usually stick to about 6 but that's easier with football.... not sure if I'll care about losing this bookie :

 

[Jon]

Even 6 is quite high

I would really go a bit lower if you want to keep your accounts with bookies long term

 

[jackieblack]

So, still been poorly but been away for a few days and will now get back to plodding on!

Not sure what my totals are at the moment cos I'm waiting for money to get back from all over the place (again). I'm liking the bingo and casino offers.....I'm only doing the lower value ones (my biggest possible loss was £50) but it's calculated risk. I never use any money that's not in my MB account so no danger of 'gambling' the bill money away ;D

Next month is a fresh start right??? Onwards and upwards!
