Product Description

Product Description

Predicting a big score in the match on Saturday? Buy total goals. Convinced a multimillion-pound signing will prove a huge flop? Sell his performance. Fancy a local team to surprise everyone with a strong run in the League? Buy their championship points. Today more than 100,000 people in the UK are turning their football knowledge into profit through spread betting, the fastest-growing phenomenon in gambling worldwide. Unlike traditional fixed odds betting, the spreads allow punters to bet against teams as well as for them, to place and close bets during the match and even to make money on a game before a ball has been kicked. This book strips out the off-putting financial jargon and explains the system in clear English. Using real examples from English and European football, it takes you from the basics to the sophisticated techniques used by the professional gamblers. Drawing on exclusive interviews with the bookmakers and players, it opens the door on what has become a multimillion-pound industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value Great read, 6 Feb 2003
A really good read and thoroughly useful to anyone embarking upon spread betting. Mr Arends looks at a number of spread markets in football such as the windex, total goals, bookings, corners, shirt numbers and more.He presents all of his examples within the framework of his practical experience and offers advice and guidance as to where there are opportunities and equally dangers for the spread bettor. Great value price, entertaining and full of useful quality information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the rest..., 15 Feb 2003
By A Customer
When you overcome the author's unfortunate allegiance to Arsenal football club, you will find that this is a fantastic book on spread betting strategy for football. Unlike most other titles on spread betting this book does not handicap itself by trying to cover too much ground (eg. every sport under the sun) and is not yet another patronising book on 'what is spread betting'. Instead Brett Arends takes the subject up a level and describes some very good strategies that may prove to be big earners. Of course, some of it is less than watertight, but [...] this is a must for the novice-intermediate football spread better. If you quibble at the price, you should not be spread betting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Football Fan's Guide, 12 Sep 2002
By A Customer
I found this book v. useful, and very funny and entertaining to read. It explains spread betting using examples from games during the 2001/2 football season, which I found generally very easy to follow. There is also some good stuff at the back, such as where to go to set up a spread betting account as well as some useful football statistics. Shame the author is an Arsenal fan, though.
