Just a short one here, a couple of year ago I was given a years support license for all of ApexSQL's tools....
Some never saw the light of day, that was just down to what I needed, but others were heavily used, a few of my favourites included:
ApexSQL Diff / Data Diff - a complementary pair of tools with such a broad scope of use, Diff can compare the structure and objects of a database, against another database and produce synchronisation scripts to bring both to the same. Whilst Data Diff is similar in principle but compares rows in tables, and again allows you to synchronise them as required.
ApexSQL Trigger - Data auditing gone wild .... will create triggers to gather all data changes against 1 or more tables, absolutely fabulous and with a bit of tweaking I can store audits for tables that change structure without really worrying either.
ApexSQL Doc -A nice tool, generates some very detailed documentation on which ever databases you point it at. With a bit of command line work you can even automate it to re-generate the documentation on a regular basis to pick up any changes that have been made
These few tools alone have saved me so much time and pain, even with out the others.
So, Good Job ApexSQL!

Matched Betting - First week
Well its only half a week really.
Prior to starting I had read the intro guides on Oddsmonkey to get an understanding of backing and laying bets
Started early on a Wednesday morning - 45 ish minutes in total whilst having my morning coffee before leaving for work.
Signed up with Oddsmonkey Premium and started following the new bookmaker offer guides for Coral and William Hill - nice easy start, majority of my time was filling in sign up forms and making first deposits - then I signed up for Betfair exchange - then it was time to qualify for my freebets.
This was done with the Oddsmonkey Odds Matcher tool- found 2 bets to back that after laying them on Betfair would net me about 50p AND more importantly qualify me for £50 worth of freebets
Coral was no bother, but I made a mistake with the William Hill sign up where Id picked the wrong code :-( after making the bet I had no free bets! So I had to contact their customer services, turned out that the code I used needed the qualifying bet to be made on a Boxing Match!!! This had gone very wrong!
So, deep breath, and had to try and find a qualifying match manually! Using the calculator on OM I found a combo that would lose me about 80p but would let me qualify for the £30 bets from WH... crisis averted!
After all the freebets done (via the oddsmatcher tool) Id made about £40 profits from Coral and WH
This week I also signed up for offers from
Ladbrokes due to another mistake on my part I only got about £15 from the £50 free bet
SunBets - I only qualified my bet in this time - so have a £10 free bet ready for week 2
First weeks (Well 5 days running to sunday) returns : £111.88 for probably around 4 hours worth of effort! And thats AFTER paying for oddsmonkey too!
