Well actually no it isn’t! I think Millionaire Adventure is a much better name. But as I use yet another Tesco voucher for my online shopping, this time saving £15 off a £100 spend, it does raise an interesting question about when something becomes part of your normal habit and therefore doesn’t actually constitute a saving.
£15
Now that the football season has come to an end I have decided to withdraw my profits from my Coral betting account. In total I have made over £50 but I’ll leave a few pounds in the account for next season and take £50 to the millionaire adventure bank. The money won’t be spending much time in the bank though as I am off to Royal Ascot in 3 weeks!
£50
I placed another one of what I am calling ‘insurance bets’ where I bet against my team on the basis that my team either wins or I win money. Unfortunately Man Utd lost to Chelsea in the first Wembley cup final but I had bet £30 at odds of 5/6 that Chelsea would win making me a net profit of £25.02

I signed up with GAPbuster to become a mystery shopper. The registration process was quick and easy with a quick questionaire to fill in and then I was ready to pick my assignments. After a bit of searching I managed to find an assignment for our local Liquid nightclub which would pay £30 just for going out for the evening!!
However it’s not quite as simple as it would seem as I would have to pay for entrance and at least one drink once inside. A quick visit to Liquids website and I found a voucher for free entry to save myself a couple of pounds. However a big night out would easily end up costing me far more than the £30 I was earning so I opted for a few drinks at home before heading out. This meant that I was able to keep my total spending on drinks to £12 which meant I ended the night £18 up and had a great night too!
£18 although I am still waiting to recieve payment
Not knowing a thing about horse racing I decided to bet small stakes as I fully expected to lose what ever I bet. I spent a good hour studying the horse racing pages in the paper to select two horses that I thought stood a chance of winning.
