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 

background image

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.  

background image

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.
