It's often said that you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. And one of the best ways to get hold of such money is by saving it out of your normal spending.
The Money Saving Expert website (www.moneysavingexpert.com) aims to help you do exactly that. It’s run by financial journalist and TV presenter Martin Lewis. The site is packed with hints and tips on saving money (and sometimes making it too), on everything from mobile phones to credit cards.
Among the many interesting features is an article about saving money on motoring. This has a link to a website (www.petrolprices.com) which will show you the cheapest petrol station in your area. Another site mentioned (www.pipelinecard.org) is currently collecting the names of people who would like a free discount card entitling them to a discount of up to 10p a litre on petrol with a major retailer.
From the website you can also subscribe to Martin Lewis’s free weekly e-mail newsletter, which includes information on special offers and ‘loopholes’ you can take advantage of to save or make money. A recent one included a promotion for a Barclays Bank current account which (unintentionally) gave away £100 just for opening an account, putting £2,000 into it, and closing it two months later.
If you regularly follow all the tips and advice on this website, I reckon you should be able to save several hundred pounds a year (at least) for betting purposes!
