I use Skybet.
I did have a betfair account. Upon opening the account I put £40.00 in and got some welcome bonus (perhaps a 100% cashback if you wager a ridiculous amount). Went on the fruit machines and won >£400.00. Needless to say my account was 'inactive' the next day - never bothered trying to find out why.
I know, only messing. It was fun with my £2.00 until after 5 winning bets I lost patience a blew nearly £4.00 on some team to win!
Put less than 4.5 @ HT for Fulham game
oh dear!

Had over 0.5 on Norwich v Chelsea.
Still enjoyable, so back in.
Down £9.99 in total then, with a potential further £10.00 loss or £46,000.00 gain.

Betting on women's tennis, you're a braver man than me.

I don't mean to be funny, but surely you can find two or three bets a day that meet your criteria? To do one per day just for the sake of it seems painful.
yeah - could easy find more than 1 a day.
however set myself the challenge and also the routine. Betting more often usually means that you are chasing things and pushing more. Also means I loose it quicker eventually!
Testing the "theory" of 1 a day and see where it goes.
At this current rate I will be a millionaire in 300 days time!
I did mention to the wife that if I started with £1000 and ever 20 days or thereabouts betting on 1/20 shots, could take £1000 out - she could not bother returning to work! She was quite happy with this!
(the above paragraph is meant as tongue in cheek before anyone starts!

Lol, best of luck
Up to £118 now. This is literally the best thing.
I've broken the rules in a few places by betting on some stuff up to 1.1, but I've mainly been betting on Under X.5 where X is 2 goals less than the current amount. Also now I'm over £100 I'm keeping £50 in reserve. I'll do similar if I ever hit 200 I think.

That's exactly where I was then lost it to a freak 6 goal match. I was betting on football teams I never knew exist though. Maybe that was my down fall.
Pay day tomorrow so will be injecting another £10 to start over.
