Why gamble when you can win?

Fancy your chances?

Have you ever heard the cliché, ‘the bookmaker always wins?’

Whilst on the whole it is true there are situations that this is entirely wrong. In a regular diary I plan to make a note of the bets I place each week, guaranteeing a profit before walking in to the office Monday morning. After all, why gamble when you can win? With a £100 float turning it into £1000 with no risk of ever losing we will hedge the bets each week as and when we see value in the odds. The choices of bet from our experienced team (as with all systems) will still have an element of luck which will dictate how long it takes us to reach our goal. But we will reach it eventually. We will aim to set every week around a fiver minimum with some big profits along the way.

You will need:
1. Access to the internet at a private location/IP address (So at your home is fine)
2. A starting bankroll of £100 which you will be able to ring fence and reinvest each week.
4. A basic grasp of maths, it’s not Rocket Science and we will guide you through it, but if you failed your Maths GCSE this is not for you.
4. An hour a week over the weekend to place the bets
5. And that’s it your good to go!

Ok so first and foremost its best to open a BetFair account; this really will be tenfold more useful than having Denilson in the centre of the park. Betfair allows you to lay a bet and ensure a profit is attained and no £’s are lost. If you lay the bet, you bet AGAINST the outcome happening. Effectively you get to be the bookies yourself. Click here and enter code UKJAHQ7HF to get an account and gain further information on receiving £25 from Betfair.

Familiarise yourself with Betfair and have a look back at the start of next week to see a diary of the bets I’ll be placing for Arsenals semi-final showdown with Ipswich.

    I get enough of this tripe in my email, don't want to see it on here, thanks. A column on an Arsenal site that doesn't mention Arsenal til 3 lines from the end? (That hilarious mention of Denilson doesn't count...thinking about it, I'll wager this is a cut-and-paste job, insert 'Carrick' and 'Man Utd' or 'Bentley' and 'Spuds'. Boo.

    agree with Selsdon, sounds like a right scam, it's bloody difficult to even make small consistant small profits on betfair

    This is a trial column. Granted, the writer may be receiving commission from the links, but if you join without the code, who knows if you get the free bets this system is reliant on. if yes, simply don't use the code. Let's see how it pans out financially, for the punters here. I am going to give it a go (and already have a betfair account). remember there is no compulsion to place any other bets than those recommended. the idea is to beat the bookies (or your fellow punters), and logistically, more lose than win, but some do win. But as ever, never, ever actually bet more than you can afford to lose.

    I think Online/In-Play betting is fun - although it can damage both your pocket and health and comes with a hefty warning. There may be possibilities of juggling between bookmakers to guarantee a profit but to me this sounds like a variation on pyramid selling-type schemes. Who has ever met a poor bookmaker? Liked the line about Denilson though.

    And why not get people to open accounts at betdaq? Liquidity although poor for in-running traders is decent enough for the stakes you're talking about. Wouldn't be the fact that by using your unique code you trouser £25, up to a possible £50, for each person that opens a betfair account? Call me cynical but this appears to be nothing more than spam.

    A very very misleading article. 'With no risk of ever losing'- and how on earth is that possible, arbing? Thesedays, I think not. I've been a professional gambler on betfair for 10 yrs now and trust me the game is now as tough as it's ever been: markets are super efficient to the tiniest degree, arbing is controlled by bots and restricted by bookmakers, betfair themselves run a cross-matching bot that prevents any overrounds appearing, market markers are given queue precedence (therefore gettign what little value there is) but....and this is a big but.....betfair operate on a commission of upto 23.5% (it's called premium charge and despite the lack of publicity if you are in profit over 250 markets you will pay it no question). Surprised this type of article can appear here but while we're at it, I'll lay you 10/1 you can't turn £100 into £1000 risk-free within a year.
