A Non Grumpy Summin Up

SHARE
21/09/2015

I have been a bit grumpy recently or so it has been stated especially after my last blog post http://77.104.177.60/~globet47/ftsincome.co.uk/750-lottery-players/Indeed one of the long standing FTS members stated that “I don’t mind who I piss off”. That actually couldn’t be further from the truth. The bottom line is I get very frustrated at people not winning, reading the same old garbage week in week out. I see the same people join and leave services after a few weeks and it all gets very depressing. I am straight talking. I always will be, I don’t hold grudges but I say it as I see it at the time and then move on. I am aware that will piss some people off or they will take offence. Thats fine, I am 100% right that most people won’t win because they don’t do it properly and I have 8 years of evidence to back up my grumpiness. The difference is I want all of you to win and if you help yourselves first I can then help you.

The bottom line though is if people did listen and actually paid attention we would have more winners, less losers and banks accelerating quicker. When 98% of all punters lose it is no surprise to me that I spend the majority of my time dealing with losers and losing mentalities. All I (and all the other guys on FTS) truly want to do is make you win.

So lets have a quick summary of a few things.

Portal members I have updated your post and we now have over 250% growth on initial deposits and still only one losing week ever – not bad a for a grumpy old sod (compared to high street bank growth around 0.6% net in the same period). Please check the post read it and get back to me if any issues, I do have a busy week and am out and about but will answer when I can.

FTS ONE – Now about to move into full swing. I know some of you are doing fantastically with the database particularly with the like of West Ham’s results etc My bets started this weekend and were level, volume will increase as we now move into the full season and these should be treated as per the email on Friday. If you have issues in the members area etc please email developer@ftsincome.co.uk and it will hopefully be sorted. Plenty to come this next 6-8 months

FTS Original – Those who bought the original manual 8 years ago and since will know you are guaranteed lifetime picks for the manual. These commenced this weekend and will be updated daily if any but only in the members area, there will be no email or managed service for this. My trading has moved on from just this method but it is still effective and as I explained at the summer seminars had you played every pick since inception in 2007 and managed a bank as I showed at this summers seminar you would now be a millionaire – FACT. I will say that again, YOU WOULD NOW BE A MILLIONAIRE.

That is why I get frustrated at people who give things 2 weeks.

If you bought the original manual and don’t see the picks then please email me and where possible include details of your purchase and Paypal receipt.

The Select Racing ServiceThis is a service typical of what I talk about so often. Day 1 when we went live with this service lost 18 points. The worst day ever and I got of course pelters of abuse. People left, asked for money back and it was a right old bunfight. Of course it has now stabilised since then, is back in profit and will remain so – BUT it will not win every day and every month. My gripe is not that people leave, it really isn’t. It is why sign up in the first place. I just don’t get it and I cannot say it any other ways than I have from nice to down right plain rude. In the free course on this site I try and install in you if you are joining a service the following points.

1 Research It

2 Identify the type and volume of bets

3 Determine if it is for you and suits your mentality

4 Determine a bank size and points stake for that bank

5 Commit to that bank

6 Record every result

Now if you did that with every service, firstly you may join less and save a few quid and secondly using any FTS service you would win guarantee.  Absolutely 100%

So If I took Select and decided I wanted to join it and I was going to have a £500 bank and £5 a point then day 1 I lose £90. It is not even 20% of my bank. I have not lost £90 I have a working bank of £410 left. The only time I deem something a loss is if the bank goes.

No. You guys jump ship at £90 down so now you have yes lost £90 and a sub payment and have no chance of getting it back. So off you go to something else and rinse and repeat. Of course I was pissed off that it lost 18 points on day 1 but it is a blip, and if you have decided it is for you then commit to it and manage it properly and give yourself a chance to win.

That is the biggest factor in you guys losing plain and simple. You all dive in straight away, the “Balotelli Syndrome” kicks in as Andrew called it in his post and you leave losing. Just be patient and think about things for 2 minutes.

I now post Select results daily as we have bets and they are on the page here http://77.104.177.60/~globet47/ftsincome.co.uk/the-select-racing-service/ . It is great service for those with account restrictions etc as bets are placed in minutes to Betfair SP

Will Lattimore RacingWill Lattimore is the Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Bentley of tipsters all rolled into one and if ever a service epitomises what I talk about then it is Will’s. I have people who have joined and left Will 3 times.

Lets us look at the cold hard facts. Will started in 2011 and is over 1000 points up. Will started with FTS in April 2013 and is over 600 points up in that period. That is the plain truth and every bet and every result is on his site.

However in that period, Will has had spells where he has lost or not made any profit, August to December 2014 for example saw the bank lose 14 points and tread water for 5 months. Of course everyone left in droves and the service was unlikely to continue. Currently Will is on a hot streak but unfortunately neither I or Will know when these hot streaks will be. IF you joined Will and managed your bank the dry spells would be totally irrelevant and you would be rolling in cash. That is the plain hard facts again. It is not made up it is not lies, it is FACT.

I love Will, he is all round just a great guy who works very hard and gets reward for doing so. He feels every loser in his daily write ups but works tirelessly. When we did the 2013 FTS roadshows I drove Will as we moved from Reading down to Taunton and we we were discussing betting and he asked why I trusted his service etc. I told him two reasons , one he works hard and those who attended saw that process. Secondly I believe he will never lose a bank. I told him that I believe his worst months may well be around a 20-30 point loss but he is not going to do any subscribers brains. The only way you do your brains is leaving when he has a bad run, joining on the end of a good run and losing again.

SBC voted him top tipster, 1000 points is just incredible in the racing game and if a) your not a member or b) you keep joining and leaving you are mad EXCEPT if course if getting bets on or restrictions are an issue, in which case you my sympathy.

SIMPLE – JOIN WILL HERE ON THE 3 MONTH SPECIAL

Why do I say 3 months, as I see no point in joining any racing service for 1 month. What do you expect? You can follow Wills results for as long you wish for nothing as you can 5 Star Kings, the Free Bets and Select but why commit then to giving it 1 month in the hope that it wins that specific month in the 30 days from when you join. As I have repeatedly said, your bankroll, the tipster, the horses have no idea of the day of the week or month and it makes no difference to anything whatsoever except for us inane humans want it all neat and tidy in our own little minds to start on the 1st of month and end on the 30th month and always be in profit, preferably every day otherwise we have a meltdown of Vesuvius like proportion.

5 Star Kings – An unbelievable record for this service saw them move to the FTS stable 2 months ago. Of course what has happened, the results have been poor so far (A 10/1 winner yesterday helped). Once again, people joined, moaned, left, threw accusations. It is exactly the same, if you bet on racing I stated in 2008 with JG you will win in chunks and lose in chunks but people who bet value like JG, Will, the team behind 5 Star will always win over the long run and that is how they and myself approach the game. Nothing has changed in this service. These guys don’t go from winning 350 points in 12 months to being knob ends. They really don’t, I and they just don’t know when the winners will come, BUT they will that is for sure.

Let’s try and help you with gambling and I am not being patronising here I genuinely want to help those who don’t always understand it.

In August the service lost 14 points and over 40% of subscribers left. 14 points, 14 percent of a 100 point bank. Amazing.

In that month 70% of selections went off shorter than advised prices, therefore anyone betting them will win long term fact. If you are betting horses at 4/1 that have a 3/1 real price you will always win long term even if it was bottle of ketchup with 4 legs.

14 selections finished 2nd by a distance less than 3 lengths combined. Now that tells me the horses ran well, it just didn’t go 5 Stars way. It will!

Of course if getting on and prices etc is an issue again I sympathise but if you join and leave based on that 1 month you have no chance of ever winning plain and simple.

Goals,Goals,Goals

This has been the most pleasurable service to run as it is simple, bets take 2 mins a day to place, Mark who provides the service is a really decent guy and of course it wins. It is  a solid steady slow burner and now the season has started the volume of bets will increase again. Saturday was a bad day and in came the emails but as with all the above the same applies. It will have losers, manage your bank, this isn’t difficult but I repeat and repeat it time and time again. If you do it properly I guarantee you will win. GGG is as rock solid as anything we have ever had on site and results will be updated regularly.

That concludes the summary of services so far but they are all irrelevant they really are unless you do things right. The most important aspect in any of this is YOU. How you manage your emotions, money, bank will be the thing that decides if you join me in making a good few quid or you stay in the pit with the 98% who lose.

We are doing all we can. We have a great site. Chris is sharing how to make the most of risk free bets. Andrew is blogging about how to go from a novice to a pro and I let him in on a new method this weekend which involved him watching markets and the angst that comes with that so I look forward myself to reading his blog posts on that going forward. All this is done in our own time, at no cost, to help you guys.

Kav who has gone from someone who played around at it before attending the Reading seminar in 2013 and now makes 5 figures a month will be opening up his section of the site this next couple of weeks – KD Pro Club – and plenty to read and follow there from a man who has taken advice, learned, put it to use and now has given up the day job and is a success at the game, become a good friend and a betting partner. That is what this site means to me and has done for others, see I am not always grumpy.

We have great guys here and I know I can bore a glass eye to sleep banging on about discipline etc, but it is only when you shape up and step up that I will be able to stop, because I am correct in what I say and I can prove it to anyone. I don’t need sales pages and preview videos to suck people in and sell them a load of crap. It is simple. Follow anything on here, take your time, get a bank together using Chris’s strategies and then when you want to play the big game, set your bank and commit and you will be there, and we will help you.

 

I have a few other notices.

Giovanni shared his ebook method on site, it is still there, http://77.104.177.60/~globet47/ftsincome.co.uk/et-football-systems/ and I had a request asking if I knew of any way of automate it or anyone who had automated it. I know most things are possible these days so if anyone has automated it then please get in touch with me via email so I can share that.

I have an excel issue that I need a formula written for. It is beyond me and as yet I have failed to find it online. If any excel expert wants to have a go I will send you what I need and if it works then when I bring it to FTS you can have it free, it should be very good but manually it is not possible for me to operate. Again email me, I will pick someone I won’t set 20 people all trying to find a solution so please only contact me if you do think you would be able to solve it.

Late Info – This may be of interest to some. I have two, I will call them associates, they used to work with JG but now work on their own and get some late morning/early afternoon info and value on horses. They have pretty much exhausted the South East and beyond getting bets on to the extent they have to change how they work. They are now going to be office based and are happy for 5 or 6 people to receive the info. It will only be a handful and you need to be able to bet between around midday to 2pm and you would have to bet with bookies, this is all about value bets not Betfair. These guys I have known 15 years and they do very well , JG taught them all he could about price etc and the service operates purely on that basis. Initially if we have interest they are happy for me to share the info on a trial basis but in the knowledge that once you see its worth it will be between £70 – £100 a month to continue should you wish to. The price will depend on how they actually set themselves up their end. I will not be messing these guys around, there won’t be a sales page or a wide offer, if you are interested email me and I will source the info for you and how it will be delivered.

  1. You will need to be available 12-2PM
  2. You will need to get the bets on asap when received at bookies prices
  3. You will need to be prepared all goes well to pay £70 – £100 a month sometime going forward in the future

So it is not for someone who wants to bet in fivers and it won’t be a general trial, to see what it is like. If your serious and the conditions suit email me

Free Bets – We have a few additons to come on these. NFL bets will start the week after next, free for the whole season. We will also use the Free bet email to trial a new horse racing service in October and also see some more football bets added. These are for you to follow, play small, learn how to manage a bank at no cost etc etc so worthwhile opening the emails.

I think that is all we have about 2 weeks to go in our FREE Las Vegas Draw so if you have not entered then make sure you do it is completely FREE. No catches, the prize was given to me and I have passed it on and if it suits the winner happy to meet them out there for a few days. It is a £2000+ prize for nothing so please enter, share on Facebook, Retweet on Twitter etc because if it gets a good response I can arrange more the same.

Finally I will have info on Bet Direct before the end of this month for you

 

Spurs 3 wins on the bounce, a new Korean superstar, life is great and I am never going to be Grumpy again

mr-happy

 

Take care, Week 6 odds sheet has been updated and sent to FTS One members and the database updated and I will be back as happy as ever next week.

  1. Grrrreat post! But who are you and what have you done with Ian Erskine??!

  2. Someone else has taken over the site !!!

    Great post and as always very true,thanks once again for all your help.

  3. A good read Ian (as usual) and keep up the good work, it really is appreciated.

    Cheers 🙂

  4. As always, an amusing and educational read over a late night cuppa – I’m not sure it’s as entertaining as your rollickings but, whatever, please keep them coming.

    I love what you laid out in the last two seminars, it’s sooooo simples:
    identify bets, put pre-determined amount into market, record results, rinse and repeat next week – fantastic!
    No emotional roller coaster, no need to second guess the game or the market moves, and NO CHASING LOSSES!!!

    I am beginning to see patterns and now realise the absolute cruciality of accurate record keeping and following the long-term plan.

    I realise I was playing at betting before and blithely ignored the huge amounts of great advice you gave but I’ve seen the light – well, the spreadsheets actually – and I’m a new man, a finely honed betting athlete (or will be in three years’ time) who follows the plan and looks at the bigger picture.

    I, for one, will be hassling you mid-July 2016 for a meet with me and the other 10% who stuck at it and reaped the rewards.

    You really have taught an old dog new tricks and me and my family are so glad you stuck at it and ploughed on through the frustration – thanks, Ian.

  5. Let me know what excel help you need. I’m a professional IT developer and have developed loads of Betfair apps for myself so I should be able to help or point you in the right direction.

  6. Excellent post, Ian. Greaqt you are on the up. Just returned from a weeks holiday myself. Goodness it’s hard work ‘enjoying’ yourself.

    I am interested in the Late info and meet the criteria nrequired being a retired old comudgeon.

    Great result with W.Ham and good old Spurs, they WON !!!

  7. Hi Ian, I am a new subscriber to Will (2 months)so obviously well happy! My bets average £100 to 1 point.I have been restricted to no offers and no guaranteed odds on ladbrokes,corals,boyles,stan James,victor,888.com. Sporting bet and sky I don’t even bother -useless!
    I’d be interested in your 12-2pm offer if I could help. Bet 365,hills and powers are ok with me at the moment and any new ones you could suggest I could try.
    Best regards Phil
