Most Definitely Not Risk Free

I spotted mention of the Risk Free Football System whilst trailing through some gambling forums that I frequent. The posts there looked a little odd (lots of forum posters with only one post, all extolling the virtues of this supposed ‘risk free’ system), and I was also dubious about the ‘risk free’ bit. As far as I’ve been able to tell no betting system has ever been risk free; there has to be some risk involved, unless you’re cheating. It’s not about being risk free, anyway, it’s about being able to make your expected returns outweigh your expected losses.

Of course lots of betting systems are risk free in theory, but the practicalities of it just don’t match up. This is the case when we rely on getting perfect odds from Trading sites like BetFair and then trading them off against those odds we get on other sites. It doesn’t always work (though granted some systems I have tried do make it work to varying extents).

Anyway, back to the Risk Free Football System. The system relies on you making live bets on a live game, the theory being that you’re always behind the attacking team and so you’re never exposed to any risk. The principles are pretty solid but, as mentioned above, no system is risk free. The major problem is that there are sometimes delays in betting platforms reporting a change in situation. Given the fact that the risk free football system relies on (correct) split-second decisions, you can probably see where things are going to go tragically wrong.

The author suggests that they have been using this system for a while now and have made a healthy win. There are three screenshots from a Betfair account showing what are admittedly nice profits. These are the only games shown, and they are from over a year ago. That’s just not good enough, frankly!

I can’t say I’d recommend this system to fellow readers… I might if I disliked them!
