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.

The 2007 Grand National is upon us and millions of pounds will be staked on the world’s most popular race. Nearly half the UK adult population will have a flutter on the Grand National, staking a staggering £1million a MINUTE today in the UK’s biggest gambling bonanza.
Having lost the away leg to Roma 2-1 I backed Roma to qualify for the semi-finals with a £15 bet at even odds. I was convinced this would prove to be a frustrating night for United which would see them being knocked out of the champions league… oh how wrong I was!
