London Marathon 2012


Hi Darren (Mr Bet72) here.

As you may be aware by being here now, I run a number of websites primarily centred around making low risk or indeed risk free profits from betting or trading on sport and when I am not running the websites I just like to run.

Previously that meant how fast I could get to the pub on a Friday night however more recently however I have decided to take it a little more seriously as spending many hours of the day sat at my desk was not the healthiest thing to be doing so I blew the cobwebs off my trainers and began jogging and to my amazement actually quite enjoyed it.

As my fitness improved I decided to enter a couple of short charity running events, starting with some local 5K runs, I soon progressed upto the Manchester 10K in 2010 & 2011 and to everyone’s amazement, especially mine, both the Warrington & Birmingham 2011 Half Marathons (both of which I completed in under 2 hours). Each time I have raised money for either local or national charities for causes that are close to my heart.

This has been through the fantastic response of my visitors to my aforementioned websites and other contacts I have in the industry who have helped me many thousands of pounds to date, which has been truly wonderful.

Then I did something very foolish, applied for and was accepted into, the 2012 London Marathon! Well it is Olympic year and I do love a challenge and boy this will be a challenge and a half.

So I am looking to fundraise again (this is the bit where you come in) for a fantastic charity once more.

The charity is SeeAbility, which helps to encourage people who are blind or partially sighted and have other multiple disabilities to achieve their full potential and enhance their quality of life. They really do some fantastic work.

So we are hoping the good and the great of the betting and trading world will help us too in fact we have already had a pre launch donation of £250 from our friends at www.geekstoy.com to get us started from their recent Real Traders Challenge. So that has got us off to a flyer. Once again a massive thanks to everyone over there for this brilliant gesture.

Plus I am donating all the profits I make from the regular casino / games offers I partake in from bookmaker William Hill from 1st March onwards.

And of course any donation from you to help the cause would be great but I fully appreciate these are difficult times for everyone so maybe I can be of help.

As I specialise in risk free betting, via this site, making risk free profit from bookmaker free bets and bonuses. I have an idea. You can email me, darren@bet72.com with a list of the bookmakers you have used so far and I can find you an offer or two to do for instant risk free profit. The idea being that if I can help make you a few extra quid then you can then decide how much of that lovely free cash you wish to donate to the charity pot. So you can do get involved AND make a profit at the same time, how’s that for a no brainer.

Plus in return I will be covering all aspects of my preparation to the big event too, my training, the blood, sweat and I am sure tears as well, for your entertainment of course!

So I hope you like the idea, can help us spread the word and let’s raise as much as we can, as at the end of the day that is what it is all about.

Of course if you would like to make a donation anyway then that would be brilliant. Just click below……



Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity’s behalf where the donor is eligible for this and all donations will be quickly processed and passed to my charity. Please give what you can as every single penny does count. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

So I guess I better keep on running…….

All the best and thanks again

Darren
