OK. Sorry for the delay and these figures are on the conservative side, but at least it gets me going......hopefully up the league and pushing for europe.
Paddy £105 from the signup
SportingBet £95
B365 £47.50 from first part of £200 bet basket
I make that about ten thousand pounds and nicely in the lead......
Oh alright then
£247.50 but up and running.
(Going to seaside this weekend so I'll update again next week)
Cheers

So, what I've decided is that 1 person will win the free access based on the number of goals scored in the English Premier League on Boxing day! 10 people who are playing qualify for this and I have assigned a number to all based on their current standings in the challenge.
Neoboy259 = 0
Munk = 1
Dingling68 = 2
Tomwakefield = 3
GlobalSquare = 4
JonColebet = 5
frosty85 = 6
Robster999 = 7
Foxystoat = 8
Mattwboy = 9
At the end of the games on boxing day I will count up how many goals have been score and then drop the first digit. So, if 16 goals are scored then we get 6 so frosty85 wins.
Jono will get full access regardless for arranging the challenge. Others missed out from the above do not qualify for various reason..i.e. they already have full access!

Thanks Smk.

I ran out of space in my updates post above so will continue it here:
Code:
Balance carried forward: 789.02
10/11/2008 Match Betting 0.00 Day off
11/11/2008 Match Betting 9.04 Day off today really but had a couple of bets at Gamebookers just to try and get through the WR a bit. Up £9, got an arb on one of the selections which won and had underlaid so up £5 on a £100 bet and the other selection/bet was in the same market so didn’t pay any commission on lay winnings from that.
11/11/2008 Bonuses 10.00 Bluesquare Monopoly refund from 09/11, wagered through 1x on Top Trumps for no loss.
12/11/2008 Match Betting -0.87 Gamebookers WR.
12/11/2008 Bonuses 10.00 Paddy Power Battleships £10 bonus via email, wagered 1x on Top Trumps to make cashable.
13/11/2008 Match Betting 0.00 Nothing doing today at all. Just very quiet generally, should have signed up to a few places instead. Just joined Globetsports.
14/11/2008 Match Betting 55.53 Insanely busy today, 35 bets. Cheltenham Open race meet majority of horse arbs, several wins where underlaid so large profits. Losses on partybookers, refunds to come.
14/11/2008 Bonuses 20.00 Bluesquare get £1 for every £10 bet on Cheltenham, wagered £400, placed £20 free bets today, £20 still to come.
15/11/2008 Match Betting 69.51 Probably the busiest day to date, 41 bets, all on the back of the quietest week so far... go figure. Gamebookers bumps total up largest with £63.17 for intro bonus (included seperately below). Numerous wins on horses increased profits. Ladbrokes rule 4 deduction of £50 was significant, would have made total for day £230+ if it weren’t for this. First time I've come a cropper because of Rule4... luckily I'd underlaid though so the selection still netted me £30 even with the £50 deduction. Also £25 Bluesquare bonuses earnt at a loss of £5, still have to place the £25 free bet. Lost one £10 Bluesquare freebet by stupidness, placed 2x£10 freebets , only one was placed, rang up to get 2x£10 free bets placed and misunderstood the operator, thought he’d cancelled one of the free bets so I cancelled out my corresponding lay bet... never managed to re-lay it... down £10. Stupid. Very good day in all though, best for a long time if not the best ironically given the week... probably took more in the last 2 days than in the last 2 weeks combined.
15/11/2008 Bonuses 63.17 Gamebookers Intro bonus.
15/11/2008 Bonuses 20.00 2x£20 Bluesquare from Cheltenham races yesterday.
15/11/2008 Bonuses 13.45 Gamebookers NHL bonus - turned over 5x yesterday.
15/11/2008 Bonuses 13.45 Partybets NHL bonus - turned over 5x yesterday.
15/11/2008 Casino 7.50 Ladbrokes offer here posted on TGU by Globalsquare, depost £30 , turnover 4x, get £15, not sure if the bonus will arrive since it might be invite only. Made £7.50 wagering anyway. Thanks Globalsquare!
15/11/2008 BetfairX 34.00 October Betfair commission rebate.
16/11/2008 Match Betting 23.13 Quiet day today after last 2 days of madness, just placed the £25 free bet from Saturday 15/11 and also had one win at WillHill so up £25 on that. Also got the £31.19 referral bonus from lazza for Gamebookers, cheers lazza!
16/11/2008 Bonuses 25.00 Bluesquare £25 free bet from yesterday on football.
16/11/2008 Bonuses 31.59 Gamebookers TAF bonus share from lazza, cheers lazza :)
16/11/2008 Games -10.00 Bluesquare crack the safe Sunday 'no loss' offer, should be refunded tomorrow.
16/11/2008 Dutching 0.40 Globet £25 qualifier.
Total 1183.92
Really slow week, probably slowest week so far but then went the complete opposite on Friday/Saturday when it went into overdrive with two of the busiest days I've ever had with the Cheltenham Open. Would have been a very poor week without fri/sat.
Underlaying everything now so I only make a minimal profit or loss if the selection loses and it's definitely paying off. Hard sometimes though when you get a run of losing selections but a. at least I'm not losing anything and b. it makes winning at the bookies much much more like happy times and you actually get to cheer on a horse instead of hoping it'll lose!

My total has jumped a fair bit, mainly because I didn't update last week. Helped by some Partybets and Gamebookers referrals (thanks Munk, Gazland, dark_knight) and also finishing off the WR at Mybet - a run of winners followed by the exchange rate moving favourably in my direction converted a $100 bonus to a £135 profit. Also my unmatched lay that came off  added another £76.06
I've also included £5.00 from Bluesquare. Ok, it was on my wife's account, but I'm not giving her the money until she phones up Hargreaves-Lansdown to withdraw the £50 that's sat there waiting to be withdrawn. If she phones up I'll take the profit off.
So amount to add is £459.52 giving me a grand total of £981.27 |

That's what I've done  . Haven't felt motivated to do much betting at all in November really. Only made £100 all month 
Couple of offers in the pipeline, but other than that, looks to be my worst month to date (immediately after my best month to date)
On another note, I started MBing 14th November 07, so been at it just over a year now and made just under £5k. Less than some people, but more than I expected when I placed my first few bets. |

This week's figures ...
B/fwd 15/11/08 - £566.32 profit
Interwetten - £66 SR - £69.32 profit - however have just requested withdrawal so there may be a bank transfer fee to deduct from next week's profits
Party/Gamebookers NHL - £13.42 x 2 - £14.07 profit
Jennings - £30 SNR - £24.74 profit
Globetsport - £25 SR first free bet - £25.23 profit

I would just like to add I passed the £2k mark this weekend, after 22 weeks of matched betting I placed my first matched bet during the Euros and then took a break till the footie season started. I never imagined it would go on to be this profitable or this enjoyable
Well done to Tom and Lazza too |

Had a good week this week, makes up for the first few weeks in November which were a bit slow Profits really boosted by a good day on ladbrokes slots wagering for the slots splash bonus up £100+ on those for the day.
I left out a £100 payment from Sportingbet which I received this week. Although it is 'profit' (it was the £100 of free bets they'd refused me originally and finally decided to pay out), it doesn't seem fair adding that because it was really owed to me back in June/July.
On the down side I pretty much lost my Bluesquare account this week and Ladbrokes sportsbook is looking similar, starting to limit there as well now.
Really should try and get more intro bonuses done, didn't do a single new one this week
Here's the info for this week, new total is £1630.48:
