There is a £100m jackpot up for grabs tonight in the EuroMillions lottery draw and as they say ‘it could be you’. If only one ticket holder wins the jackpot it will the the world’s biggest ever lottery prize. I don’t normally think entering the lottery is a good idea as the odds are stacked up against you. In fact the chance of walking away with the £100m is 1 in 76,275,360 or in other words very unlikely. (more…)

Over the last couple of days I have signed up for another two online bookmakers who were both offering £25 free bets for wagering the same amount. In less than an hour I earned nearly £50.
The last couple of days has seen unprecedented turmoil in the global banking industry and there may well be worst to come. Firstly Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy protection, then Merrill Lynch is taken over by Bank of America to prevent it going the same way, before AIG are propped up by the US taxpayer and back here in the UK HBOS are taken over by Lloyds rather than join Northern rock on the governments books.
So with all this turmoil in the financial markets I am sticking to the sports markets for my investments as I continue matched betting, this time signing up with another bookmaker that is offering a £50 free bet in return for wagering £25 first.

Having spent the last month trying to break out of a huge wagering requirement I was looking for a bookie that would give me a quick win this time. Fortunately I found a bookie that was offering to match a £25 deposit with no wagering requirements.
The odds on offer were not great for finding good matched bets, but I only had to bet my £25 deposit once before I was credited with another £25. Then it was simply a case of betting the bonus before I could withdraw a £22.19 profit for less than an hours work. This is how matched betting should be done!
*** Nov-08 Update ***
Just received £20 cashback from Quidco taking the total earnings from this bookie to £42.19.
Last month I signed up with another online bookie to continue my matched betting adventure. They offered to match 50% off my first deposit so I signed up, deposited my £150 and waited for the bonus to be credited.
My account was credited with another £75 in a few hours and I set about placing my first matched bets (check out this post if you don’t know what I mean by matched betting). I had another read of the T&Cs to check there were no minimum odds requirements and it was only then that I realised there was a requirement to stake the initial deposit and bonus 5 times before any withdrawal could be made.
