Answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Here we've provided answers to most of the very common questions we get about the Soccer Revolution system. If your question isn't answered here then please feel free to Email us at:



Q. Is this system similar to that 'other' popular soccer system that involves 'laying the draw' (F.C.G.)?

A. No. The Soccer Revolution system is nothing to do with laying the draw.



Q. When do you place the bets with this method?

A. The method involves betting whilst the game is in play. You therefore need to be prepared to be by the computer throughout the duration of the game - although most trades will be wrapped up in the first 40 minutes of play.



Q. If many people start to use this system will it adversely affect prices on the Betting Exchanges and therefore spoil its effectiveness?

A. No. Sums matched on popular soccer matches frequently run into the millions. We frequently had the same fear expressed about odds on the "Racing Cash Machine", where totals matched on a race are usually rather less. Our customers don't make a significant dent in those prices and certainly won't in soccer.



Q. Is it possible to use SR in Australia?

A. Please see this page.



Q. Is it possible to use SR in the USA.

A. Please see this page.



Q. Is it possible or desireable to use betting exchange software (bots) with this system?

A. Software really isn't necessary. Everything can be done easily and manually from the regular Betting Exchange screens. It would not be practical to try to totally automate the system with software.



Q. Does the SR system require me to be at the computer throughout the match or can I just 'bet it and forget it'?

A. The system is based upon betting 'in-play', i.e. whilst the game is in progress. You can't just place one bet and go away. At least not until you have closed off the trade, which may take anything from 10 - 90 minutes. Although some trades can be wrapped up in less than 30 minutes you need to be prepared to sit out the duration of the game if necessary. You do not need to actually SEE the match in play or hear commentary. All the info you need can be gleaned from the Betting Exchange screen.



Q. Which Betting Exchanges can I use for this? Does it have to be Betfair or will Betdaq or others do?

A. Betdaq can be quite reasonable for soccer. The main consideration is that there should be enough liquidity on matches we use. Typically over £100,000 matched on a game before kick off. Betfair is naturally the biggest exchange but you can easily check out the others with this criterion.



Q Does this system work on absolutely any match or are there certain selection criteria?

A. There ARE selection criteria. They are VERY simple to apply (a matter of seconds to evaluate) and will give you betting opportunities on most match days.



Q. Do you need prior betting experience or knowledge of football to make the most of this system?

A. No. EVERYTHING you need to know is clearly explained in the manual and CD. It could actually be detrimental to be knowledgeable about soccer because you may be inclined to try to judge the teams' chances rather than simply following the system. This is for anyone from novice to expert, so long as you just follow the simple rules.



Q. Does this involve multiple trades in a match, snatching little bits of profit here and there and do you have to be 'quick on the button'.

A. No. It's a pretty relaxed process involving just two or three bets per match.



Q. How much would I need as a starting bank to do this?

A. As much or as little as you like. We recommend a liability of 10% of your bank per bet and all gains and losses will be in proportion. Small starting banks can grow into significant sums over time if you simply "re-invest" your profits.


Q . How much can I, or should I stake per bet?

It is up to you. We recommend choosing a total sum for your betting bank and then dividing that to use just 10% for each bet stake. (i.e. a "ten point bank"). The upper limit will depend on the liquidity of that particular match. The amount traded on popular matches frequently runs into millions so your stake could certainly go into the thousands if you wanted. As for the lower limit, Betfair will accept stakes of just £2. You can always start low and gradually compound your winnings and stakes to build up a bank over the months.



Q. Can you do this on the 'mobile' version of Betfair on a web phone or PDA?

A. If you have a device that shows you all the changing odds of a match on Betfair and you can reasonably easily place bets on it, then yes it should be suitable for the system.



Q. Is this suitable for all year round? Are there less opportunities in the summer?

A. Well we have to admit that the mid summer will be a little quieter. However, we can use games all over the world if they are covered by Betfair with enough liquidity. Also the UK non-soccer season is pretty short these days. There will be something to bet on for almost all of the year.



Q. What do you mean when you say this is not as 'stressful' as trading on horse racing?

A. You have plenty of time to make your decisions and place your bets when trading on soccer. A horse race is over in minutes but in soccer we have much longer between bets. So much so that you can monitor several games in play at the same time and trade on them all at once.
