Best bet i've had so far was for Wales to win Ireland yesterday. Placed it with less than a minute to go, when they had a penalty right in front of goal, odds were about 1.35. I was really surprised it was accepted to be honest. 20 seconds later the game was over. Only put £10 on it though.
Has anyone transferred/withdrawn funds back into a paypal account? just wondering if i'll be charged fees by paypal

Started this today, so whoever sent me the referal should see the £25 at some point.
My internet is so dog slow though, bet fair is a nightmare. So annoying taking ages to place a bet, then getting refused due to time outs then accepting but not showing!! FUUUUUUUUU.

If you've got an android phone the betfair app is pretty good. I've only used the website twice now, once to sign up and once to place a multiple bet. I've placed about 50 bets upto now over the app, not had a single issue yet.

I found the android app pretty crap to be fair, if I'm out and about I use the Ios app on my Ipod and tether it to my HTC

it takes about 24 hours, after you've placed £25 worth of bets i believe

Maybe it depends on the device then, because it's worked perfectly for me so far.

It works fine, I just found it somewhat lacking compared to the IOS app, and im in no way an apple fanboy either.

So..I've never used betting sites before.. is there no catch to this?
Could I put a tenner in, then work my way up to £100, then withdraw it straight back into my bank account?

Well I havent worked out the odds but for this to work you require all you bests to come in everyday and each bet has a 99% chance of winning (Obvious)
So if you make 3 bets a day for 16 weeks (116 days), that means you will be making 348 bets. As your odds are about 1 in 100 to fail that means realisticly you could expect 3.5 bets (dont know how the .5 is possible
) to fail.
In my opinion this method is extremely unlikely, not impossible but unlikley.
I really hope it does work for you tho, keep us posted.
note: if my calculations are wrong plese let me know, i done them quickly lol.

Your calculations are wrong.
16 weeks is not 116 days
Other than that, you're correct.

Up to £164 now. Won £8 on there being over 5.5 goals in the Quilmes game (they were 5-0 up after 60 minutes) and then £15 on Liverpool Spurs being a draw (in the 94th minute)
You have to be careful with bets like that Spurs one though. I've been screwed over by goals that were literally the last kick of the game before now.
Once I win a bet, how long does it take to credit my account? Want to place a bet straight after it seems to take an age to go into my account.
Playing it simple just now, under 5.5/6.5 goals after half time if its looking likely.
Though placed under 6.5 goals on one and ended up 5-2 luckily my internet was so damn slow and never placed the bet

Sorry to seem so uneducated on the matter, but could someone please explain betting odds to me with respect to the 1.02 and 1.04 figures that are being mentioned?
I have placed bets before, but that was only on roulette.. and yes I did lose (after I won, but got too greedy and started doubling my bets) haha

The number represents the return you will get if the bet wins.
1.02 means that whatever you bet will be multiplied by 1.02 and returned to you.
If you bet £1, you will get back £1.02
If you bet £2, you will get back £2.04

My credit normally gets updated within a minute or 2 of the bets being reached, so if i bet for over 0.5 goals in a game, i'll normally get the credit a minute or 2 after the first goal is scored. I don't remember having to wait any longer than that to be honest.
