Guide To Betting Professional Betting From the experienced investor to the gambling novice, The Winning Line has provided its members with Professional Betting Advice of the highest calibre for over a decade. Our full-time betting advisory team ensures that all the information gathering, time-consuming analysis and in-depth industry knowledge required for being successful is done for you. Therefore regardless of your level of expertise, you can profit from the knowledge of the country's most respected betting syndicate. Although it has its own influential factors to consider, professional betting advice provides the opportunity of financial growth without the constraints of interest rates, confidence in The City or looming recession in a way that the stock market cannot. The Winning Line has repeatedly proved that it can compete with, and exceed, the performance of more conventional financial investments. For those who enjoy an above average level of risk, or simply the pure enjoyment of sport, it can provide an exhilarating and profitable alternative to a run-of-the-mill investment. Risk vs Reward Only bet what you can afford to lose. Like any high risk investment, such as stocks and shares, nothing is guaranteed. Contrary to popular belief, betting is not a 'Get Rich Quick' scheme anymore than it is a 'mugs game'. Not every bet advised will win. Betting is similar to investing on the stock market - shares tend to fluctuate regularly, often gaining or losing value over a short period of time rather than increasing consistently over twelve months. This is also likely to be the case with our betting account - whilst certain months are quiet, others show large profits. Inevitably there will be losing runs. However, we have made consistent profits year on year and there is no reason to expect this success to end. Our ultimate goal is profitability. Being comfortable with our disciplined strategy is a key requisite required for success. Our advice will put your betting on a professional footing, so acting like a professional is essential. Getting Started & How It Works The Winning Line provides access to our information upon payment of an initial subscription fee. This fee is used to seek, maintain and secure exclusive information sources in order to maintain our characteristically high standard of betting advice, for your membership and beyond. Subsequently, upon receiving our daily advice, it is your prerogative to place money on our recommendations from your own investment of capital. We recommend that members follow all our advised bets in order to adequately gauge a true reflection of the service, but how you choose to use our information is your own decision. The overall number of members in each service is limited in number in order to protect the price-sensitive nature of our advice. Previous and existing members wishing to secure the renewal of their membership are given priority and will be offered privileged opportunities at attractive rates. Betting Banks & Points A betting bank is a pool of money from which you draw your stakes and reinvest your winnings. It is effectively your risk capital. A betting bank is an essential requirement for joining our service, and managing your betting investments effectively is vital to your overall betting strategy. Although the amount of money you wish to invest is of your own choosing, The Winning Line advise a betting bank of 100 points. The size of each betting bank is advised in points, as opposed to pounds, in order to take into account the varying size of bank from member to member. A point (pt) is a staking unit which your bank is divided into. As an example: An initial investment of £2,500 GBP would result in a one point value of £25 GBP (£2,500 / 100) i.e. Betting Bank divided by Recommended Points Per Bank equals one point. In this manner, regardless of whether your financial investment is large or small you are able to sustain it over your membership period by scaling your stakes accordingly. Interpreting The Bet & Staking The stake for each Winning Line bet is advised in points (pt). As explained above, the value of a point will vary depending on the size of your betting bank. The amount of points staked on each bet gives an indication of the relative strength of that betting investment. Consider the following practical example: 4.25 Goodwood - #2 PERLE D'AZUR - 2pt WIN @ 10/1 (Ladbrokes) The bet advised is on the number two horse, Perle D'Azur, to win the 4.25 race at Goodwood on the 3rd of August 2001. Stake two points with Ladbrokes at odds of ten-to-one. Calculate the stake as follows: Betting Bank divided by Recommended Points Per Bank equals one point thus One Point multiplied by Advised Stake (in points) equals Actual Stake e.g. £2,500 GBP / 100 = £25 GBP (one point) thus £25 GBP x 2 = £50 GBP (Stake) therefore 4.25 Goodwood - #2 PERLE D'AZUR - £50 GBP WIN @ 10/1 (Ladbrokes) Finding Best Prices And Making It Pay If the bookmakers are offering early morning prices on a race where we advise a bet, we will recommend which firm of bookmakers to place the bet with (as in the example above), and on occasions which ones to avoid. Getting the best price is important if you are to make your betting pay and nowadays it's important to take advantage of the betting exchanges. Whilst it is fair to say that a fair percentage of our members are themselves semi-professional backers, you need to devote no more than 10-15 minutes of your time per day to ensure you get the best value available. When you consider the potential return on this small investment of your time, it is well worth the effort required. Those that are happy to take whatever price is offered, regardless of value, will inevitably find their betting investments less profitable than those who take a little time and trouble. It may only be marginal, but over a period of time this can build into a significant sum of money. For obvious reasons, betting syndicate members are advised not to identify themselves as subscribers to our services when placing a bet with their bookmaker. We recommend that members open as many different bookmaking accounts as possible, not only to obtain the best value, but also in order to spread their investment around and maintain a relatively low profile. Managing Your Bank To maximise the effectiveness of using a betting bank your point value should be recalculated on a regular basis. For example, when a winning bet is advised and reinvested into your betting bank, the size of the bank increases. Similarly, when a losing bet is advised the size of the bank will decrease. Therefore, as a result of using a fluid betting bank, your point value will scale up and down accordingly, ensuring that stakes always remain in proportion to your bank. Using a betting bank helps minimize the deficit of a losing run and maximize the profitability of a winning run.   > Results > Testimonials > Join Now > Betting Guide > Useful Links > Terms & Conditions > Contact Us > www.goldcall.com > www.precisionstrategy.co.uk > www.bluechipinvestment.co.uk > www.maximumbet.co.uk/plus/ > www.keithelliott.co.uk
