The security staff at the Rosebowl got a bit worried at one stage though as just shortly after we arrived various laptops and mobile devises were switched on for those trading the matches . The room at one stage looked like something from the set of a Mission impossible movie.

The Premier-Betting service had a good weekend with 3 of the 4 bets landing and had Wigans Steve Gohouri not been ruled offside for what looked a perfectly good goal it would have been a great start.

The first trade on football broadcast went well with members profiting by £40 on the Arsenal v Liverpool match and my first draw master also showed a small profit. So not a bad weekend all in all.

New York are priced at 1.65 (60%) on Betfair and I believe they should be nearer 2.63 (38%)

New York at home to Top Half sides are W3 D3 L4

Toronto away to Top Half sides are W1 D3 L6

New York have not lost in 3 home games and Toronto have lost their last 2 away games.

Head to Head at New York over the past 4 seasons reads New York 3 Draw 0 Toronto 1

I feel New York are incorrectly priced here and I think despite their good form this season and the recent signing of Thierry Henry they should be opposed and I will be laying them.

This also proved an excellent match for readers of the Premier Football Betting Handbook who profited on 3 counts in yesterdays match.

Firstly the Premier Betting ratings identified Manchester United as the value selection.

Bookmakers had the matched priced up Chelsea 2.50 Draw 3.30 Manchester United 3.15

Our ratings had Chelsea 2.86 Draw 3.35 Manchester United 2.86 so Manchester United were the value pick.

Secondly in the stats for Manchester United in the Top Betting Trend Tips we state ‘Look to back late goals in the last 15 minutes of Manchester Uniteds home and away matches.

‘Last season the last goal of the match was scored after 75 minutes in 71.05% of all their matches, the highest rate in the Premier League last season’.

And then finally in our notes on referee Andre Marriner our value tip is to back 5 booking points or under at 3.0 or above on Betfair. Well yesterday 5 points or under was priced at 3.50 and Marriner obliged by not showing any cards at all.

So a very nice profit was shown no matter what angle of the game you were looking at. And the great thing about all of the above bets is that they contained the all important value.

The above is just a small sample of the work that has gone into this book. If you are serious about making your football betting pay this season then go to premier-betting.com and get a FREE copy of the book in time for the new season.

Whilst doing development work for Premier-Betting I noticed that certain rated sides when playing against particular opposition drew quite a number of games.

I put this into practise last season and finished with a profit of over 30 points.

However, there is a word of warning you can go two or three weeks without a selection coming up. On the other hand you can have weeks were it goes spectacularly right. This service should be seen as a bit of fun to small stakes but I am doing this to prove that the draw can be very lucrative and should never be left out of your final equation.

Also now that the Premier Betting Handbook is released myself and Matt Finnigan are now starting to pull together our analysis for next weekends opening fixtures.

Our process means we first consult with the Premier Betting ratings and once we have found value we then go through the stats. Should the stats and the ratings match up we then look at the markets to find the most profitable avenue.

Those that have followed my MLS selections over the past 5 weeks on the Sporting Markets Newsletter will have seen we have been profitable in 4 of those weeks and this has been achieved using the same rating system that will be used for Premier Betting.

If you would like to obtain a FREE copy of the book along with 6 weeks access to this unique approach to betting on football then please go to premier-betting and sign up in time for the new season.
Both myself and Matt believe we are in for a very profitable season.

This month sees a new chapter in my life as I will be leaving the RAF after 25 years to go full time as a sports trader.

As well as going full time I also have some other projects on the go. I am starting Trade on Football of which the details can be found on the home page of this blog.

Today also sees the release of the Premier Football betting Handbook 2010-11 in conjunction with the launch of Premier-betting.com. The book contains 400 pages of stats and strategies and is a great tool to keep by you at the weekend before you are looking to place to your wager.

A free copy of the book is included by signing up to 6 weeks worth of ratings and analysis on the website. We will be analysing all 380 games played this season and we are expecting a very profitable season.

I am also carrying on with the Trade on Sports Newsletter which is now entering its 4th year and has produced some very profitable systems in the past.

And finally I am introducing a new service called The Draw Master where at the weekend I will only advise draws. I had success with this last season where I secured a profit of over 30 points.

I do hope I can be of service to you in the future
