    Gaa back on at the weekend. Games hard to call at this time of the year. Hard to know what team is trying or not. So be careful !!

    How hard do you find it after winning (online) to wait for a really good bet and not lump it on something just as you're 'up' and have money sitting in your account?

    Used to find it hard. Not so now. Discipline is key to making any sort of money. Its so easy to log on by mobile or laptop and bet on 2 flies going up a wall. When you find that you have to keep depositing far more than withdrawing you'll never be up. Set a target and withdraw when you hit it. Start low again. I used to win big and give it back. Now i buy something, pay a bill, insure the car, holiday. Great to see the rewards of good discipline.

    I find it hard but I only gamble small money so it doesn't bother me. Its very hard not to place another bet when you've had a good win

    I only deposit for individual bets and withdraw every Sunday night. Otherwise it just gets tempting.

    not sure how much they do in play, they charge commission on per transaction so just not made for trading as of yet.

    Matchbook and pinnacle (who basically have the same odds and lay relatively similar amounts on the same events, I'm inclined to believe the layers on matchbook are bookies themselves) don't do in play rugby. The pros are a 102.5% book on handicaps, decent amounts laid on matchbook but not on pinnacle for rugby and as far as I know they don't close or limit accounts. The main cons are they can be very late pricing things up and this, combined with their odds being more accurate than any other bookies odds makes it quite hard to make money off of them.

    Thought it might be helpful for me to share how I handle my funds. A lot of you probably know this but it took me a while to figure out a good system.

    Open a PayPal (I had one already). I then went to my AIB online and set up a direct debit to send money into PayPal just after payday. The details you need to set up the direct debit are available in 'my account' section of PayPal (IBAN, account # etc).

    I have a couple of accounts. Coral and B365. When I want to place a bet, I'll deposit using PayPal and punt away.

    Advantages
    - Much easier to keep track of. I put €50 in each month and that is it. Just over €10 per week max loss.
    - No betting showing up on bank account. As long as you don't involve credit or debit cards in the above, you will only ever see PayPal on your AIB account
    - Easier to budget. If I lose €25 in my first weekend of a new transfer, I'll take it easy for a week or two, as I know that I have only €25 left
    - You can have several accounts and choose best odds/offers, without your bank statement looking like a bookmaker's phone book!

    Be Aware
    - €15 min deposit/withdrawal on 365 for PayPal
    - the bank transfers cost nothing, but take about 2 days
    - I'll generally punt away and if I made a €30 profit on a day, take €20 out or something (into PayPal). At the end of the month, I'll clear out the PayPal back into bank account just as the fresh €50 arrives.
    - No special fees associated with this


    In the past I had no clue how much I was betting. Now I know I have made a small profit in each of the last three months and lost the €50 in each of the three motnhs before that!

    Open to suggestions also. Hope it is of use to someone.
