Secrets of a Pro Gambler

It has been some time since I turned my attention to the Prosoccer Investment File. The new soccer season has started so I think it is time to start monitoring the lay selections and see if the system performs as well as it used to before summer.

Sat 28th Nov

I will now discontinue posting selections and results here because I see from the ProSoccer Investment File website that the system is no longer being sold.

I do not seem to have been spotting all of the ProSoccer Investment File lays for September, so Michael Thwaite has sent me the following list of bets that have been added to his results on his website:

4-9-09     Oldham v Hartlepool     0 – 3  BF 2.10
5-9-09     Bury v Accrington        0 – 2    BF 1.75
13-9-09   Thrasivoulos v Rhodos    1 – 1    BF 1.74
18-9-09    Roosendaal v Haarlem   2 – 2    BF 1.77
19-9-09    Varzin v Chaves – NO BET – odds were above 2.10 and no liquidity
20-9-09    MyPa v Kuopio    1 – 2    BF 1.96
21-9-09    Loko. Plovdiv v Loko Mezdra    0 – 1   BF 1.53
25-9-09    Austria Wien B v Hartburg    2 – 3    BF 1.64

Michael’s £100 starting bank is now £2975 (and that is before Saturday’s successful lay).

Sat 12th Sep

There is a lay selection for a match kicking off later this afternoon/evening. I will post details plus the result either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Update: Here are the match details and result:

Rudar Kakanj v Interblock Lay Rudar. 2-1 Bet lost (BUT see message below)

Important message: I have received the following message from Michael Thwaite (author of the Prosoccer Investment File) as follows:

“Please note:

As per the Prosoccer.gr website the Lay selection for Sat 12th Sept is Rudar Kakanj v Interblock. This is incorrect!! Rudar Kakanj is a Bosnian Team – they are playing Slavija Sar. today. The correct team for the Slovenian match is Rudar Velenje. This mistake by Prosoccer.gr means that the match should be ignored. It is not known which team the percentage statistics actually refer to.”

The 2 – 1 score you quote as a losing bet is actually for the Rudar Velenje v Interblock game.”
