So the weekend began with £332.17 made to date. A really disappointing weekend in almost all areas though sadly was saved by one moment.

Variance has gone against my firmly seeing me lose £7 twice on Ladbrokes (cash drop after £20 of spins) and an overall loss of nearly £15 on William Hill Inspector Gadget. I was busy decorating and going to a football match so didn't get any surveys done.

What saved me? Ladbrokes gave everybody a £2 free bet to use on The Open and I of course chose Francisco Molinari at 25/1. £50 back saw me end the weekend with a profit of £14.82. Not great but at least it's profit!
£346.99/£1000.

Variance always gets you in the end sadly

Well it hadn't been the best start to the week up until this morning. Survey wise has been acceptable with £13.34 made to date. Largely down to a couple of Prolific surveys (one was just under £5).

Then it comes to Casino offers and I started smally. £1.75 was made from the Starburst offer on William Hill, followed up by £5 from a free bet with Sky Bet. Then came a nightmare - the £20 Coral offer whose name I've actually forgotten - in my spreadsheet it's down as "AVOID CORAL OFFERS". It was basically just dead spins galore and I lost the whole £20 and I've been off the offers since.

That was until this morning when I decided to give the Ladbrokes offer on Pots of Gold a try. £20 and they give you a bonus up to £20 with x5 wagering. I wager £20 (losing £10 roughly) on 20p spins and leave to see what cash drop I've received. £5. Great the lowest I could have gotten! So I go back into the game and spin.... Going back into the slot had seen the stake go back up to the default £2 spin which I hadn't realised until after I clicked for my first spin....£85!!

After wagering I ended up with drawing basically £80 making a nice tidy £60 for my mornings work. Thus I'm at £46.75 for casino related matters for the week taking me total up to £60.09 overall. Chuck in another £2 amazon voucher as well from I-say.

£409.08/£1000.

Frustrating start to the week doing the Coral & Ladbrokes £20 wager for cash drop between £2 and £100 offers. 4 times I've done it now so £80 in and just £30 back INCLUDING the 4 cash drops. Utter utter joke and such a bad run that it's almost wiped out my profit for the last week!

I've identified what the problem with this has been. On my Huawei phone I've been unable to change the stake amount from £2 as when I clicked on the "<<" at the side nothing comes up. Did it today on my wives Samsung Galaxy and what do you know I can do 20p spins which led to £20 profit roughly. Beyond frustrating that I'm currently sitting at -£26.98 for the week Casino wise purely because of some issue with my phone.

Still only managed a £2 cash drop now. That's 6 times now I've had a cash drop this week and EVERY one has been £2!

£15.96 up in surveys this week so far.

£398.06/£1000.

However I also received a Leapforce payment for June. Now I had a stinker of a month with this as there was barely a day that I managed to complete a whole batch so only made £49.58. For July I'm going to be roughly £105 which will be a huge help.

£447.64/£1000.

Also yesterday I got a quote from a plasterer to get rid of some artex walls in the house. £1100

£-652.36/£1000

From surveys, matched betting and some casino offers I'm up £281.60 since the last update.

Where was this from mainly? Well that Ladbrokes cash drop that I've been moaning about constantly finally gave me a £100 drop! I also won just over £100 from a Sky Bet offer at Goodwood. There's been small wins on Bwin Yellow or Black as well as just over £10 in surveys.

So I'm now at £-370.76/£1000. The plastering work is becoming more affordable by the day but of course there's always extra expenses just lurking round the corner.....I've been invited to a good friends stag do in Copenhagen. Flights are cheap enough and we've not discussed accommodation yet but I read it's £7 for a pint.....

It's amazing the difference though in my bank account. Having spent a fortune at B & Q for the kitchen as well as booking my next exam for my studies I'm still got enough to keep going with the offers. Normally I have had to wait a few days for withdrawals to hit my account but recently I've been ok. However as I type that I'm now officially waiting but have over £200 on it's way

You're doing great but have you ever thought about looking at ways of earning a passive income (ie, less manual work each day!)

Hi,
Sorry to hijack the thread a little (its a good read btw) but i was wondering if you could expand on this a little please Jon?

I suppose the most obvious way to earning a passive income that anyone can do is affiliate marketing. So you would setup a blog or website and drive traffic to that site which would have affiliate links on it. The earning potential is limitless and I personally make four figures a month from affiliate marketing alone.

There are multiple pages about it over on our sister site https://www.totallyblogging.com
