I messed up my first offer....
When I went to make my free bet on SkyBet, I added my free bet but somehow also managed to add the £10 of real money actuall in my account so staked £20.
My betfair lay won so i've basically just lost about £5.
Pretty annoying as I really thought i'd just used by free bet but I must have added it on top somehow.

Really really interested in doing this as I need some cash big time.
But I have not got a clue about all this gambling stuff
especially for this, seems so complicated.
Is there a noob friendly guide or something?
Is it possible to loose money at all?

if you don't know what you're doing I would recommend you didn't bother

Sure, but only on the pretence that he only has himself to blame if he messes up. Not patronizing like, just trying to give "good" advice
True to a certain extent... if something does go wrong and you don't actually understand the instructions you are being spoon fed then you will probably have no idea how to correct and minimise the potential loss.
I am one of these people who looks at things and thinks "OMG WTF, this is soooo complicated" and then when I successfully do whatever it was I think "god that was soooo easy, how did I not get that first time, if I can do it, anyone can" 
But this a bit different now, since money is involved, so want to be absolutely sure how this works.
Is there any simplified guide that covers everything?

I don't think it's been mentioned earlier in this thread - but don't forget to use cashback sites such as Quidco when signing up to bookies - lot of them offer £10-£20 cashback for signup and placing (usually) a small bet.

The fixtheodds does the whole thing step by step for you although it doesn't really explain why or how whilst you go through those steps although they do have a FAQ that goes in to some detail

Didn't think of this, thanks
EDIT: I use topcashback.co.uk and looking at some of the cashback offers they look too good to be true, ...so are they?? Do you think it would affect my signup bonus or something? Have you used cashback sites before and have they worked for online gambling sites?

I must have received a good £80 from cashback alone
Yes, good idea. I'm using Ultimatcher3.. has basically everything you need.When I did this I kept a very detailed log in Excel of the money involved... I'd recommend this so you know you're doing it correctly, and it's nice to see the money rolling in.

The offers are good and (in my experience) don't affect your sign-up bonus at all - the only thing to watch is that you'll sometimes need to fulfill a slightly different requirement for the cashback site (for example "wager £x") from the signup bonus - otherwise it's all fine and above board.
For info - checking my Ultimatcher spreadsheet I made over £150 from cashback alone so it's well worth doing.

Quite annoyingly the ULTIMATCHER.xls doesn't function properly in OpenOffice. Time to get Microsoft Excel then!
