It was Janet Jackson and Luther Vandross who sang the song “The Best Things in Life Are Free” and although I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t necessarily say I agree with the words. In my experience some of the best things and experiences during MY lifetime have cost money and plenty of it!

Richard is a very successful, a man of many talents who writes programmes in the digital games world and has in fact worked on some of the best-selling games ever, he has also developed numerous money spinning mobile app games many that you would have come across if you inhabit that world.

Now you might think that with all that on his plate Richard has little time for anything else but that is when his real passion comes into play, you see Richard has a long-standing passion for betting and more importantly winning. He has developed several systems in various sports over the past couple of years and despite his great success at his other occupations he finds the most exciting money he is making comes from his betting action.

The V-Football Pro range of betting strategies has been developed over a period of time way before the current unprecedented situation came to about. This is not a knee jerk reaction to the cancellation of real sporting events but a method I have used for the past couple of years. Mainly because I am not a massive sports fan, but I am a fan of cold hard cash.

Most of the ideas in here were spawned whilst trying to beat the more traditional online casino games such as Roulette, Blackjack and the slots.

There are far too many permutations to consider with the aforementioned types of betting and I quickly found, with my background in coding, that I could distil my findings into a much more ring-fenced method that put the odds in my favour.

Any form of online gambling works on the same principle, the provider will try and replicate real world probability using an algorithm. This algorithm has to be representative of the event it is trying to emulate BUT with the added advantage that it can learn patterns and very quickly shut down any notable form of mathematical recurrence.

In layman’s terms this means that any system in place that involves doubling up after a loss or a serious of defined betting points to accommodate the flow of a game will quickly be discovered and shut down. So, you could be playing Roulette for example and betting Red at odds of 2.0. You would then double your stake after every loss to regain the previous wager plus a point profit. This system is as old as the hills and known as the Martingale system.

In a real Casino this could work to some degree because the tilt of the table, the movement of people, the flow of the air the warping of the wood can skew results ever so slightly in the favour of the bettor.  But online the algorithm kicks in and shuts you down quickly and often unexpectedly. In many cases defying the laws of probability.
