£ per hour
I'm probably a bad example for that - largely because I quite enjoy the enalytical element of this, and spend quite a lot of time shuffling numbers and looking for new opportunities.

Let's be conservative, and taking into account a bump of research time at the start, say an average of 15 hours a week. Over the 10 week period then, that's roughly £13/hour.

But... If you want to see something impressive, have a look at this. This chap (donglemouse) posts a diary of his results, and to date in just under 3 years he's made a total of £39,263. He says he spends about 2-3 hours a day doing this, while working FT as an accountant. You probably won't make this much, but it's a nice little earner.

Oh, by the way - I forgot to mention that it's tax free! Since gambling tax was abolished a few years back, you have no liability on these earnings, so no need to worry about hiding this from Mr. Taxman. What that means is that for a basic rate taxpayer, every £100 you make is the equivalent of £125 earned normally, (or £166 or a higher rate).
