It does exactly what it says on the, erm, blog address.
The football season is upon us again and it’s time to resurrect the football blog. This season I intend to keep it updated before kick-offs whenever there are major League games and also European Cup games in all their forms.
Here are some of the categories covered:
Laying The Draw
Those of you who bought the Football Cash Generator when it was first released (in hieroglyphics – it’s that old) will be all too familiar with Laying the Draw, but it is my contention that it can work as a good trading system, and even a straightforward bet.
I am experimenting with the following:
Limit the number of games you get involved in – I limit the number to three.
Look for games where there is a potential for volatility. For example, Manchester City’s attack-laden squad should provide goals, as should the Dutch league games (a recent choice was PSV v Ajax which finished 4-3 – plenty of fluctuation in the odds.)
I limit my choices to games where the draw is under four.
Three Home Bankers
Inspired by Compiler Systems, here I look for at least three home teams who I expect to win easily. So far I am five from five. (Yes I know, the 2nd day there were only two home bankers!!)
This could perhaps give us scope to include these three home bankers in a treble?
Lay the Treble
This was a very consistent and profitable little system produced from the ashes of a complete failure of a system sold at www.footballcashbuilder.com.
The profits at this site are simply fabricated, and the only way to make this a sure-fire way to profit is to do the opposite of what the author suggests.
Here is my version of this failed backing system:
Go to www.betfair.com and their “multiples” football coupon.
Select three teams.
Two of those teams must be around 1.5 to back and one team must be 1.33 or thereabouts to back.
All teams must be playing at home.
We select the back odds for these three teams, and we simply LAY the treble rather than back it.
The key to success? Well, the liability is quite low for three teams and it only takes ONE of the three teams to NOT WIN for the multiple to be a success.
So far this season, I am two from two with my treble lays after at least one team drew and one team lost.
Personal Picks
Here I select the strongest back, lay and trade bets in all categories – be it laying or backing in the match odds market, trading a team (for example, I fancied Schalke recently at 1.5 only to trade after they scored first), and over and under 2.5 goals bets.
I hope they will give you some idea as to the amounts of different betting opportunities that are opened up to you each footballing day.
Mug Punter Accumulators
Yes, after receiving thousands of emails clamouring for my mug punter accas (well, OK, no emails were received actually about my mug punter accas); I decided to put them in each blog entry.
The accumulators use Betfair’s Multiples and so far I have realised a 2.61 winner and lost out by a single 0-0 in an eight fold accumulator. They’re a bit of fun and we can actually see, over time, whether it would be better to be a mug punter accumulator backer or a mug punter accumulator LAYER. (I would suspect the latter will prove the profitable way to go.)
As the season progresses too, I will be featuring a number of systems that have been released regarding football.
The key factor with these systems is that the majority require a degree of form behind teams (at least three previous matches) so watch out for these systems reviewed in real time with real games.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the systems I will be looking at this new football season.
The Compiler System
From Daniel Soulsby, this system focuses on sniffing out home teams with a strong chance of winning and backing them to win, not in trebles, but in singles. The contention here is that you will double your money every 10 times you bet using the system.
Interesting, but requires a few games to have been played.
Oversandundersbetteing
This was a very effective strategy last season and I will be monitoring it again this season. Available from www.oversandundersbettingcom, it is one of those rare things – a Brookes book you can actually use.
What he didn’t tell you was that this eBook is very effective if married with trading – it is this key distinction which should readily produce the profits
Football Laying Code
Like winners to losers et al, this laying system focuses on the first goal odds market (and mirrors some of the big odds to lay) and I remain unconverted to its profit potential simply because of the odds at which we are laying. One losing bet and we lose up to five previous bets’ gains.
Still, once there is form in the book, it will be interesting to track.
Software
Merlin
Available at http://info4u2succeed.com/ecommerce/merlin, this is a very clever piece of kit for permutation betting and purports to always cover the winning result (be that as a slight profit or a break even).
“Merlin runs in Microsoft Excel and is so easy to use. You simply enter your predictions into the Input Selector Panel from top to bottom using the symbols 1- 2-X to denote, respectively, a home win or an away win or a draw. Hit the “Enter” key, and before you’ve time to blink Merlin performs the calculations and highlights with one or more red arrows the column or columns you are to bet.”
It deserves a full trial this season to discover whether its value is more gimmick than real profit maker.
Soccer Magic Matrix
Available at http://www.progamblingproducts.co.uk/ netsales/smm/smm2.html, this is another piece of software which is a calculator for permutation betting. Highly useful in calculating stakes for you if you want to stake a specific amount over a number of permutations OR if you want to win a target profit amount with each permutation.
As ever, with these calculators, they are only as good as the information input into them!!
http://www.footballsystem.co.uk
A series of excel spreadsheets, again designed to engineer permutation bets on the fixed odds coupon. Worthy of trialling because the cost is only £19.99.
As far as I am concerned though, permutation betting for me is a little outdated as trading in running can offer far greater potential and offer us a chance to react and LOCK IN profits if things are going our way, and manage positions if things are not going our way.
Tipsters
Well the two tipsters I was following last season were both poor. www.football-bets.co.uk and www.footballmaestro.com did not perform as you would expect of a service for which you are paying.
The former has profited over the long term, but yet again, joiners last season would not really have got anywhere and STILL had to fork out subscription fees for this service. It has had a complete overhaul in the summer and it remains to be seen whether this will perform. Expect intermittent updates on the football blog.
www.footballmaestro.com should be renamed www.footballminiclubmanwithapieceofstringholdingth eexhauston.com. £100 to £10,000 was the triumphant claim last season. £10K – was robbing a bank part of the service?
This is another overhyped affiliate type tipping service where the selections were generally highly obvious and the staking quite ridiculous.
One to avoid I’m afraid. I’ve really had enough of you-know-who and the rubbish he releases.
Bottom Line
So follow me on the blog at www.soccerbettingmoneymaker.blogspot.com. It’ll give you some ideas and I’ll be trialling any new releases that come along as well as looking at areas to trade football matches, as I feel it is this latter element that is the real key to betting success this season.
I’ll also be highlighting some free tipsters out there (at least the price is right with these!) – perhaps you can use them as confirmers for your own opinion?)
