Football Bets Direct Review Summary
Football Bets Direct Final Review
Rating: 
Although there were only 11 days of actual bets with Football Bets Direct, due to the lack of opportunities in the summer months, the world cup and the author’s heart attack, Football Bets Direct did exactly what it says on the tin and made a profit.
The Football Bets Direct system is actually a sspoervice whereby you are e-mailed the selections well in advance, usually with guidance to the best odds.
All of the bets are around the 1.8 decimal mark (Bet365 are normally around the price advised, Betfair slightly higher) and are therefore not restrictive odds. The author advises using A, B and C bets similar to SportsBetting Professor and Sports Betting Champ, however I found that the selections were profitable using level stakes and there is the possibility of increasing your returns, by betting in multiples where more than one selection is advised. The choice of course is yours.
I found the author quite helpful in responding to any e-mail queries and I was somewhat relieved to find that he does not bombard you with e-mails regarding other systems. There are only 2 e-mails where he has recommended services/systems other than his own which were ABTB and SB Professor, both of which have been reviewed and passed on this site.
In summary, I would recommend this service for anyone wishing to make a steady profit from their football betting, it is not a get rich quick scheme and does not purport to be one. Simply put this is a long term strategy and can be used with level stake betting. The author has given his percentage figures for level stake betting below, please note I am unable to verify these results, but see no reason why Neil should be “adjusting” the figures. (The Nordic leagues were trialled during the summer and will be added to the portfolio this season).
Season Bets percentage
Belgium 76.6%
Eng. Championship 63.3%
Eng Premiership 63.9%
France 66%
Germany 57.6%
Holland 67.9%
Italy 68%
Poland 55.5%
Scotland 70%
Spain 65.5%
Nordic Leagues to date:
Norway 73.3%
Sweden 75%
Running Bank £123.02 (Starting Bank £100)
Profit + £23.02 using £2 stakes (11.51 points)
Using £10 stakes the profit over 11 days would have been £115.10
The price of Football Bets Direct is £47 per month, if you got in early in the season it was £34, whether or not there will be any other reductions during the season , will be at the author’s discretion.
My verdict – Passed, with a 3.5 star rating.

Comments on Football Bets Direct Review Summary
Hi Fred
As I have said before, the system did what it said in the trial period and my rating was not 5 star. Unfortunately there is not a miracle system out there! If you find one, let us all know.
I am happy to jail and fail given the few negative comments, however this is up to the new Betting System Guru.
I agree with dave , three bets tonight another two C bets gone down and a b bet. This must be doing a lot of money.
I’ve not been on here as much as I would have liked over the past few months, but I’d say the review for this is majorly flawed and is likely to damage the credibility of the site. Whilst it made a profit over 84 days, the fact that this was over the summer and illness was involved means it’s not, in fact, an 84 day review. It really needs to be done again now and see if the results over a true 84 day period are the same.
Another two c bets went down today in England and Italy, big losses.
Hi Matt
I can see you that feel passionately about this review, however all I could do was report the facts established at the time. I did pass this system but did state that it was far from a 5 star review. Maybe, you would like to ask BSG whether you can revisit the review and update the blog yourself?
Hi BSG
I don’t want or intend to incinuate that I don’t find the efforts of the reviewers and this website as a whole extremely useful, if that is why you are offering me to review it further, because I do. Very much so.
I am merely voicing my confusion at what is essentially an 11 day review (11 betting days) sitting along side something like Golden Key 2 or the Favourites Phenomenom that would appear to be more standout systems. Certainly I can vouch for the credentials of GKM2.
For 11 betting days this made a point a day, which is excellent, but to say this has passed an 84 day review – are you happy with that conclusion? There might be more to say, perhaps it’s easier to email regards this and the possibility of a further review period.
Cheers
Matt
Hi Matt your opinion is valid, something you need to realise is I do not have the control on this blog as people think I do. Every review is independant. I have re-read the final review though and I believe that the reasons why it passed are also valid. I agree with you also that we should further review it in the normal football season to gauge results not based on world cup football. Are you volunteering to review it further? Just incase you are this role is voluntary and can be exhausting for our reviewers, keeping ontop of these reviews for 84 days, posting each day also please take that in mind.
Hi BSG
I have an opinion.
This review shouldn’t have been conducted over the summer when, by and large, major European football comes to a standstill. Conduct it now, or in a month’s time, when all the major leagues have got back in to their groove and you can gauge which teams are doing well and which not so.
In the past I have done a bit of footy betting and the consensus on the forums at the time seemed to be to leave the season alone for the first 6 weeks or so, then to put systems to the test.
It is just my opinion, but conducting a football system review in the summer is madness, I don’t care if the world cup or the Euros are on, and if any results for that are included it makes this review/system even less credible.
Also, 11.50 points in 3 months for something that costs £47 x 3 = £141, at twenty quid a point that’s a profit of £30 a month. If that is the expectation of this system, it’s hardly worth getting excited about. In my opinion, of course.

Matt.
Hi Lee, Your opinion is welcomed but you are disagreeing with facts. The results of Phillips review are fact and not opinion. You can disagree with an opinion of course. also want to quote Phillip from below…
Philip
Hi Guys,
I have personally used this system for over a month and disagree with your findings.
It averaged over 92% strike rate but when you lost you lost big.
I had 24 Winning system bets and 2 losing system bets and was over 15 points down!!
There is no way you can have these kind of system bets as they are going to hurt as soon as you hit 3 losers.
I hope my input help someone about to risk there money and would hate to see you lose your cash all at once.
Cheers
Lee
Hi RJB and Fred
I did state in my review that this system would be a long term strategy and was not a get rich quick scheme. In the period during the review the service did make a profit and believe me that is very rare in this business, just look at the amount of systems that fail woefully after a review on this site.
My review stated “In summary, I would recommend this service for anyone wishing to make a steady profit from their football betting, it is not a get rich quick scheme and does not purport to be one. Simply put this is a long term strategy and can be used with level stake betting.”
I also said that it can be used with level stakes, we have seen in the past with Sports Betting Champ how the A B and C bet strategy, can put a large dent in your bank. If it continues to perform badly, by all means comment again and I will reassess the review. As Betting System Guru states passed does not mean recommended and this is far from a 5 star rating.
Philip
Hi guys I have to disagree, We cannot make one rule for one and a different rule for another, every system or service is given 3 months to prove itself or to let us see it go terribley wrong, no other review website does this, only BST.
I think sometimes you forget that we go the extra mile here and this review conducted by Phillip was a long time to look into it.
Now I have no idea to be honest about this service or system, all i know is i trust Phillips judgement and he is a respectable reviewer. I trust he will be keeping his eye on the service and if things go pear shaped in the next 3 months like all other passed products it will be downgraded. The fact is it passed the review because it did exactly what it promised in the agreed trial period. This doesnt mean it will do the same in another trial period and you should think very carefully about that fact before you purchase anything that passed a 3 month trial.
On Betting system Truths there is only 1 recommended service and that is All By The Book.
Passed does not necessarily mean recommended. Food for thought
Betting System Guru
I agree with Fred on this and think the system needs a bit more time before it should be passed. I’ve been a member for about a month now and the French league hit a system loss after the first three games with a number of league bets getting to the B and C stage. I don’t know if the system is going through a bad patch but its not hitting anywhere near the percentages quoted in this review.
Disappointed with this as a pass, since the start of the new season every weekend has been massive losses. Last seasons results were never proofed anywhere and I feel he had a bit of luck in the summer with the Scandanavian leagues as they had never been followed before. The Euro leagues are showing losses to the tune of over £2k in the past few weeks with eight losers in a row in France for starters. The trouble with this system is the C bets are the ones that make the money and if they dont hit the losses soon mount up.
