Last month I placed £13,275 worth of bets. AMA!

Just totalled up all the bets I placed last month and it came to £13,275. From that I made just over £2200 in profit. AMA :smile:

A majority of this was done through matched betting. Information on that here: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3818875

If I had that much money I would not be hanging around on TSR.

Alot of it is re-investing the winnings. I've not actually had the full £13k sat in a single account!

It sounds like you have a gambling addiction. I learnt it in psychology, I think you should stop betting.

Aren't you concerned that it will inevitably catch up with you sooner or later?

So on the big scheme of things how much are you ahead?
Do you think you have a problem or is it a good source of income?

Do you know anyone who has had their life screwed up by gambling?

I have a money making addiction, perhaps. I'd stop gambling the moment it stopped making me a profit.

Not at all. The huge majority of offers I do are risk-free. The ones which do have an element of risk are mathematically weighted heavily in my favour, so I might risk £10 for a 50% chance of getting £30. If you do that over and over you're mathematically very likely to finish in profit.
