Football Trading System Review [Ian Erskine]

Ian Erskine claims his riches from football betting stem from his not uncommon football trading concept. Is it easy to get in on the action and profit from it?

The Football Trading System [FTS from here] is simply a common and popular trading system for the football [soccer] leagues that many, including me, have probably discovered themselves prior to purchasing this ebook.

Though I have no doubt that Ian, the author of FTS, did in fact work out for himself the techniques inside his manual, many others have also discovered the same idea themselves and is quite an obvious football trade.

Obvious or not, is it profitable? Well, yes and no!

I appreciate the above answer is not particularly helpful but neither is the system itself. I believe there is quite an element of luck involved on which teams you decide to trade on. Ian’s manual states to only trade on games where the odds for the draw are 4.20 or lower though if you are more adventurous you can of course have no limit. Obviously the instructions of what to do with the trades are included and well explained in the FTS ebook.

Every user of this system could and most likely does have very different results. Some in profit, some at a loss. It is very hit and miss and during my 6 months testing of the system ended up with a small 15 point profit. I imagine that people’s perception of the system therefore varies greatly. Obviously those that were ‘lucky’ enough to profit like the system and those that didn’t are convinced that long term profits from it are impossible. Any system that has such a contrast in results between users is not a good thing in my book. Systems are supposed to help minimise the risk involved in betting and this really doesn’t seem to do that from my experience.

For those of you not familiar with the trading concept, it is basically buying something at one price and selling at a higher price to ensure a profit no matter what the outcome. In the case of a game of football with FTS, you buy the odds of a draw [lay bet] and after an event in the game sell the odds at a higher price [back bet] to ‘green up’ and ensure a profit whether the home or away team wins or if it is a draw. It is a very easy process.

I don’t particularly doubt Ian’s claims of massive profits as a little research into games before placing bets can help to maximise winning trades and Ian even sends out the picks he apparently trades on himself for free by email which is a bonus.

Overall I find FTS hard to recommend simply as it’s an idea many are familiar with anyway. Ian certainly wasn’t the first to think of it. On the other hand I would find it difficult to disregard altogether also. The logic is sound and it is easy to use if you can sit by your PC during a football match.

The fact that I didn’t make a loss is positive but I wonder how long it would take to make a profit of any worth. 15 points profit over 6 months is certainly nothing spectacular! However in the FTS systems defence I can see the potential for better results and may consider mine to be ‘unlucky’. For this reason I am going to continue testing this for another 6 months and see where that leads, ,maybe my luck will change. I will update this then to let you know!

All in all I would rate this as a neutral system. If you like football betting you may want to have a look, if not then your money could be spend better elsewhere on more profitable ventures such as Frontline or Saver System.
