 | What's to stop me...?Hey, I was just thinking earlier, I really want a Macbook Pro and they start from around £700 in the shops. What's to stop me from asking 43 mates to sign up to Coral, place a £5 bet and then, for me to pay them their £5 back? That way I can get a Macbook for the price of £215 and a couple of drinks... Am I missing some rule? Thanks! |

 | Long as each one follows the rules your good to go. You would have to let them do the offers on their own and with no direction from you also from their own computers etc.

 | If you're popular enough to have 43 mates willing to do that then absolutely go for it!

 | Good theory sure a lot of us though of that when we first started I know I did. Until you actual try it. I found that you get people falling into different category's *A)You get friends who like to bet online and have already singed up to the big bookmakers to get the freebees they offer so that rules them out.B) You get the ones who like to bet but don't trust themselves to have a online account so that rules them out.C)The ones that don't like to put there card details on a betting site.D) The ones that don't like to do something unless they get something out of it so you'll have to give them more than a fiver E) the ones that say they'll *do it but never do and you keep asking them till you give up F) and the ones that just can't be bothered. Hope I'm wrong but I will be surprised if you get more than 10 out of 43 *good luck |

| C) E) and F) sound familiar! I actually got 1 friend to sign up to Coral and I paid him £5. Was one of my 1st greens! I find several of my friends do believe that freebie sites work, and they see me doing quite we from it, but they say "I wouldn't sign up because I'm not as dedicated as you and I wouldn't have the time for it". So guess they fall into the CBA category! I have one friend who's been saying for 2 years he'll sign up! He never has

| By referral do you mean green? A green is a referral that has successfully completed an offer. If so then it can vary, some are instant and some can be pending for a few weeks, it all depends on what offer is completed.

| I think this is a good idea. What I'd do (takes a LOT longer, however) is do this a few times, get the reward (60 pounds or whatever) and since you probably paid friends 15 to do it, that's a 45 profit. Use the 45 pound thingies to keep doing this cycle and eventually you will get it for free (will more than pay for itself) instead of 225 or whateves. |

| This is where I was headed too, but I found that most of my friends fall into either scared-of-credit-cards or -cant-be-arsed. Sucks man, because it would be very easy for me to pick up a 4-referral iphone on ZNZ. Honestly I'm having more luck paying strangers to be my ref's on Craigslist than I am with my own friends. |
