Dear Friend,
My name is Ian Erskine and I am professional gambler. Last year I made over
£223,000 tax free from gambling on Football using my system and June this year
I topped ONE MILLION pounds off Betfair alone. Only 1% of all the people who
gamble in the world make a living or profit from gambling activities. That 1% are
not lucky, don’t cheat, they just gamble better than the 99% of losers.
I am not lucky I am good at what I do, just as a solicitor or doctor or hairdresser is
good at what they do. I studied researched and trained myself to have a better life
and make myself earn a nice living from something I enjoy.
Wherever fast money is involved people get themselves excited and react
completely differently to how they would in normal life.
Gambling is fast money, it is a way to make quick money tax free, it is also a fast
way to lose money and along with it, your house, car and family. One reason I
have branched into the Internet is because I am sick of leeches, people trying to
rob you of money with poor systems and no backup. I am spending a lot of money
developing a whole system of betting advice that works so whatever your field you
can make it pay. But whatever you do I firmly advise you follow the rules that
follow.
In the next few brief pages I am going to teach you 8 of the best secrets that you
can use to turn your gambling opportunities into winning ones. They may seem
general and common sense but I have seen people go against these rules and fail
miserably, the best things are often the simplest.
Please enjoy the read, and then tell people where you got hold of this free book

P.S If I can be of any help to you just mail me and ask, If I can help I will.
RULE 1 – DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE
It does not matter what type of gambling activity you get involved in it may be
Poker, Roulette, Horse Racing, Soccer, Craps or Pigeon Racing. If you are entering
into your gambling transactions without DISCIPLINE then you are sure to come out
on the losing side.
Discipline in gambling takes many forms, perhaps the most obvious discipline
factor is that of avoiding chasing losses. But there is so much more to using
discipline in your gambling that will help you, in fact the next 7 rules rely on you
having this first rule in abundance.
I want you to take a long hard thought about your gambling activity. Even if you
have never gambled before do you have the discipline to stick to hard and fast
rules whatever the circumstances? Why do you think the casino giants in Vegas
ply you with free alcohol when you are gambling, they want you to lose your
discipline, and they sure know that getting you drunk is the easiest way to do it.
Internet poker players leave tails of woe all over blogs and forums on the net of
how there usual disciplined play went out of the window when they got drunk one
night and lost thousands of dollars. There is a nice living to be made gambling no
matter who you are. I have taught people who had never placed a bet in their lives
to gamble using my system and give up work but the one quality they all had or
learned was discipline. So if you feel you have discipline in abundance feel free to
read on and learn how you can make some real fast money. If you have no
discipline and no intention of learning any then I must advise you to close this
book down and make a vow to yourself to never gamble again.
RULE 2 – MANAGE YOUR BANKROLL
Managing your bankroll is a key attribute to being a successful gambler. Your
bankroll is a sum of money you set aside purely for gambling purposes. It should
not be money you cannot afford to lose and it definitely should not be borrowed
money from friends, family or even worse deposited via credit cards. One thing is
certain if you are a gambler you will lose a certain amount of your transactions. It
is impossible to win 100% of the time just as it is impossible for a doctor to save
100% of lives – losses are inevitable.
Managing your bankroll correctly means that these losing transactions get
swallowed up in the whole big picture but you do not notice them in the long run.
No one transaction should take more than 10-15% of your starting bankroll. I am
in a situation where I have built up my bankroll so I can take more risks and play
higher stakes if I want to, but I still have the discipline to stick to my maximum
figure even though I know I could potentially earn more. Failure to manage your
bankroll correctly comes down to one thing and one thing only – GREED. My
system earns me £1500 - £4000 every week, I could raise my stakes and push
for five, even ten thousand pounds per week, but then I risk taking my bankroll
down too quickly if I have a bad result. I don’t need to be that greedy. I don’t need
to raise my stakes; I need the discipline to manage my bankroll correctly just as
any other business would manage its budget.
Most gamblers have no structure to their betting activity. They place their bets
without thought to how much they may lose, how much they are trying to win. You
need to have a goal for every transaction and just like real life that goal needs to
be realistic and achievable. Your betting patterns then need to be structured to
achieve that goal without any variation. Once you hit your goal you can re-evaluate
up your limits if necessary and set a new goal.
If you are a gambler of any sort think about your betting patterns and calculate
your ability from 1-10 to manage a good bankroll.
RULE 3 – COPING WITH SWINGS
As stated in rule 2, it is inevitable to have losses and losing days if you are going
to gamble. Most gamblers who do it for recreation will have these every day,
whereas people like me, who gamble to make a living keep these instances down
to a minimum. How you cope with losses is a huge part in how successful you will
be at gambling. If a roulette player is betting black and it keeps coming up red
how he reacts to that will determine his financial outcome. If you have a staking
plan in that circumstance you must stick to it. There is no less or more chance
that the next spin will be black – every spin is a completely new game. However
our gambler frustrated by “his bad luck” and recent run of losses convinces
himself that the outcome must be different so risks more of his bankroll and ends
up going broke. Chasing losses is the surest way to go broke and casinos, sports
books, bookmakers; poker players love these sorts of gamblers in their
establishment or at their table. They are counting the currency as soon as this
type of gambler walked in the room.
I will share a true story with you. I first went to Vegas in 1999. I instantly fell in
love with the place and had $1000 gambling bankroll. I spent 3 days in Vegas
then 14 days in Palm Springs California playing golf, eating drinking living the high
life. I returned to England after 17 days with presents for everybody with more
money than I went to Vegas with. I could not miss on the slots. For 3 days every
time I played a machine it threw me out coins.
I returned the following year for exactly the same trip. I had $1000 again and by
the end of the first day that had become $2600. On the second day I sat down at
a roulette table in the MGM Grand Casino late at night and played my usual 4
numbers 23, 24, 26, 27 covering all splits etc, upping my stake slightly on each
spin. I sat there for 4 hours and not one of my numbers came up. I had spent
every cent in my pocket and racked up a further $3000 on credit cards. I then had
to borrow money for the rest of the trip. The reason I tell you this story, which is
100% true and can be verified, is that I believed I was invincible. My previous 4
days in Vegas had led me to believe I could not lose. This is another dangerous
situation for a gambler. As well as coping with losses, walking away winning is
equally important. It is too easy to have one more bet and think you will never
lose. Having the discipline to stick to your plan and cope with the swing being up
or down is a major factor in gambling with success. No one likes to lose but you
have to learn to walk away, one thing is always certain another day will soon
appear. Gamblers get it in their brains that every session must be a winning one.
It is impossible so deal with it.
RULE 4 - SPECIALIZING
I take my gambling very seriously – it is after all my source of income. One thing
allowed me to move my gambling onto a professional level. I specialize. Just like a
surgeon will specialize in which body part he operates on, I only have one area in
which I gamble and that enables me to make a decent living.
I stood in a bookmakers in Covent Garden a few years ago and watched a well
known actor betting. He bet on everything that came on the screens, Horse racing,
Dog racing, Golf, Football, Virtual Racing you name it, he seemed to be writing a
slip out every two minutes and never seemed to be collecting. As the afternoon
went on, you could not help but notice that his mood got more and more agitated
as clearly he was losing. I walked away thinking, how can he possibly think he will
win. The more bets you place the more losers you have the less focused you
become. I cannot believe how easily some people part with their hard earned
money. By specializing, I understand a lot more about what I am doing I can have
a lot fewer, more focused bets or investments as I refer to them. Once again look
at your betting patterns, what you bet on, why do you bet on it and in which area
could you specialise. My system details exactly where and how I place my
investments.
RULE 5 – RESEARCH YOUR INVESTMENTS
Once you decide in which area you wish to specialise, it is time to research your
market and where you will make your investments. You can place your bets in a
more focused manner. The power of computers and the Internet have made the
obtaining of information so easy that in a matter of minutes you can find out as
much information as you require about your chosen market. Back in the 1990’s a
good friend of mine who only bet on horse races for 2 year olds, used to log all the
statistics on hundreds of horses using index cards. He would sit for hours every
day researching the next days racing.
I can access the past results of any football team in the world for my market in
minutes. This is an absolute necessity if you wish to take your gambling to the
next level. Again it is all about how disciplined you are to research your area so
that you can place your money with the greatest chance of success.
RULE 6 – KEEP RECORDS
It is absolutely vital that if you wish to take your gambling onto the next level you
keep accurate records of all your activity. We have all heard the stories of the
gamblers who only tell you of their winners and we all know that they are the
losers.
To gamble seriously you will need multiple betting accounts all with money in. It is
essential that you reconcile your accounts and betting activity daily. If you are
following this advice you will already have reduced your number of bets because
you are betting in a specialized market. I went for a mortgage two years ago for a
property I wished to rent out. I secured the mortgage purely because my records
were all intact and accurate so I could provide the lender with the correct proof. I
also have records should the taxman ever investigate the activity in and out of my
bank account. I recommend opening a separate bank account for your gambling
activity so that you can reconcile easily without the weekly shopping appearing
halfway down the statement. Once you get into this habit it soon becomes very
easy and second nature. The other main area that you can use your record
keeping for is to look at your good spells and bad spells and make adjustments to
your betting activity. You may notice a certain bet fails time and time again where
another one is successful so you can adjust your bets accordingly or narrow your
bets down to even more specialised fields. When I started professionally I found
this task extremely useful for setting my criteria when to place my investments.
RULE 7 – AVOID MULTIPLE BETS
Whichever market you wish to specialise in I am going to give you one simple
piece of advice – AVOID MULTIPLES – in any form of gambling these are the bread
and butter earners for the odds setters. Casino Roulette dealers love nothing
more than the player who comes and places his chips over 20 different numbers.
Yes he will hit but he has to hit 2 spins out of 3 to win and the dealer knows
anyone who bets like that will eventually lose. Horse racing sports books love
betting slips with 3, 4, 5, 6 sometimes even 7 or 8 horses on them. It is hard
enough to pick one winner, let alone that number. These bets come off once in a
blue moon so no matter how tempting the accumulative odds, once you have
researched your market, stick to single bets. At a roulette table I figure anyone
betting on more than 4 numbers at a time is up against it – in fact I think anyone
playing roulette is up against it (I am open to persuasion). These are the bets that
truly make the bookmakers rich and are the source of so many hard luck stories,
“if only that 4
th
horse had won, I would have had thousands”. The odds compilers
no the true odds of such bets and trust me they are not what you will get paid out.
RULE 8 – DON’T GAMBLE DRUNK
Never ever! That’s it.
Well I hope you found the above knowledgeable and that it adds to your gambling
experience. As a professional gambler I believe a lot of the above to be common
sense but I am aware that when gambling is involved, common sense can go out
of the window. Lastly I just want to say that anything is possible if you put your
mind to it. We live in a “can’t do” negative society and only we have the power to
change it, so let all your friends be sceptical if an opportunity presents itself grasp
it and move forward trust me you will never look back.
