Introduction
Hello, my name is Rick Ford and I believe I can help you all make money from football using a variety of strategies. I am a full-time trader on the exchanges but just to give you a quick heads up on my background, I did a degree in Accounting & Business, qualified as an accountant then got a job as a football trader for a major bookmaker in London. Do not be fooled by the job title, football traders and even odd compilers do not really price up their own games or do lots of research for each game, they actually just follow the major bookmakers in Asia (who are the mainstream of gambling) and then get driven by margins (the over-round) and prices offered by competitors. Anyway, it was a too straight-jacket type of job for me so I was not involved with the bookmaker for long, but long enough to learn what I needed to learn and the experience along with actively betting on the football markets for over a decade has contributed to where I am today (after another stint at accountancy)
My Strategy
Football is easily the main source of income for bookmakers these days. Why? Because far too many football punters characteristically lose money from either chasing losses, not bet on draws (best result for bookmakers) or they bet with emotion rather than their head.
To try and help eliminate these hurdles and to satisfy everyone’s betting tastes I will introduce one lay system, a high strike rate / low risk betting on the correct score strategy and medium risk treble multiples. My systematic methods with disciplined staking will not make you rich overnight but will generate regular long-term profits. All bets are done on the exchanges, mainly Betfair.
