Hi folks

I have messed about a bit on Betfair and understand the basic principle of how to build a bank up over the long term.

I'm just after some advise on a good footy system to get started with.
Have been reading some threads that suggest the "laying the draw" method is as good a system as any other?

Can anyone, who has been successful give me any tips on a good system to get started with?

Many thanks

Stick to Football Match Odds betting.
That's where the big money is.

I think you'll find that laying the draw is NOT perceived as a good system.

So Video, how much profit do you hope to earn over the course of 1 year?
Report Video_Lounge March 31, 2010 2:46 PM BST
only strarted it this year...started with small stakes as you can see..

my lays are now for £8, small acorns and all that.
Report Briefcase w4nker March 31, 2010 2:54 PM BST
Absolutely Video. So I take it your system is based on the fact that there are more home wins than away over a season so therefore your win ratio will outnumber the loses and therefore give you a profit?

Do you bet in play with this system?

Ok thanks for the great ideas so far.

Anyone else been in a similar position of wanting to try something out and come across something worth a go, that they can revel their secrets on?

thats certainly Less Rod............better than losing.

Should stand you in good stead when stakes creep up.
Report rod hull March 31, 2010 3:57 PM BST
cheers, we will see how it gets on and if it all goes bust then its only 150. seems to good to be true though as i have back checked this for 1000's of matches and from what it seems it cannot lose long term.
