Firstly let me state the obvious. Trade2win is a board dedicated to those of us who make our living (or have a desire to) from financial instruments, forex, stocks etc.
As a breed we are accustomed to some sort of risk and should be very accomplished at risk management.
Sport betting is a very specialist area that unless an individual possesses experience and skills it is for losers.
HOWEVER, it can be fun and the potential rewards for those who succeed are well worthwile.
I do not count myself as those who have an interest in the sport. my sport is to make money and give myself and family a pleasant lifestyle. I do not care if I legitimately gain those rewards from financial markets, sports or indeed any other area of my business. For the markets I take advice, learn and act. Mistakes are mine!
For sports betting I am at a severe disadvantage (lack of interest) so if I want to play I must rely on others and pay for advice.
As we all know specialist advice in any field is expensive, and the law of "you get what you pay for" is does not necessarily follow.
Many will have seen posts (which I have contributed to some) that slag off those supposed pay for advice services.
Take Brimadon as an example, that costs around 4 grand a year. I tried it and the returns did not cover the fees let alone the betting bank!
What Ken is offering (free on this board) is not a professional service that cost a fortune but a light hearted diversion from the trading day. Does he win us a fortune? I care not, I have the option as all do of taking the tips for what they are, FUN. If an individual is earning 50k a year and pays 500 a month in mortgage to house his family to place a £1000 bet on any sports selection is completely stupid!
However, we are (aren't we?) more or less financially independent so a £20 quid bet on Kens selection is no big deal.
Look at the thread on 3m system. Is it successful, well yes and no. Does it make good returns, NO.
Do I know of any system that makes consistent returns?
NO. And I challenge anyone to show me a system that does.

If you dont like playing for fun then don't take Kens recommendations and what is more, UN subscribe from this thread.
I for one visit here to have a flutter and as long as Ken is posting tips and not losing a lots of money, I will stick here.
Nothing annoys me more than unwarranted criticism by those intent on gaining status on T2W.
If you have something better to offer then offer it. If not keep quiet.
Thats all, spleen vented!
