Would like to make £300 in one week

Looking for ideas I haven't considered!

  • I am already trying to sell anything I don't need clothes furniture etc
  • tried Eureka for surveys but it seemed to just keep freezing and was asking a lot of really personal information 😅
  • no loans/overdraft option
  • work full time and extra job wouldn't get me the money in time
  • looked into matched betting, think this could be the right idea but didn't really understand the rules properly!

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to raise these funds within a week? Thanks

Don’t do the betting whatever you do. You’ll just end up with less money than you started with.

I’m pretty sure OP means matched betting, not just random gambling.

I agree given she doesn't understand the rules but matched betting is a really easy risk free way to make a few hundred quid if you can get your head round it.

I just don’t think there are any solid ways to do this if you can’t go out to work for it. If that easy every line would do it unfortunately

Yeah I meant matched betting and to be honest I think if I researched it properly I would probably be able to understand the process so maybe I should.

Have you looked at switching your current account? I’ve done that this month to first direct and it’s £175 but you don’t get it until next month.

Matched betting is fine. I'd make £1000 a month. After that you really need to make a full time job of it. The basics are easy. Exhaust those and then you need to 'really' think.

It's easy to get sucked in to slots or bingo.

I've had a couple of big wins, paid for a couple of holiday. Mostly scrabbling round for pennies due to the nature.
