Trade Your Bets is a new to market sports betting system and tipster service which is operated by one Kevin Laverick and his team. He claims that he can show you everything you need to become a professional football trader.
Introduction to Trade Your Bets
I’ve never really tried to hide the fact that when it all comes down to it, I’d much prefer a betting system over a tipster service. The fact of the matter is this, I genuinely believe that it is better to have control over your own betting and to understand how everything works than to simply follow advice. That doesn’t mean that tipsters don’t have their place, but I’d much prefer to be able to work on my schedule than somebody else’s.
But there also exists the potential for a very happy middle ground. A betting system that is also backed up by tips, and that brings me to Trade Your Bets. This is a service that actually has quite a lot of potential. At least on the surface of things it does. Because according to Kevin Laverick, he will give you immediate access to everything you need. This actually means quite a lot including (in a roundabout way) access to his team, David Heaton and James Leadbetter. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will suit everybody.
In fact, as much as I believe there is a lot of stuff to credit with Trade Your Bets, there are also a few concerns that I have. These mostly pertain to the longevity of what you are doing and the methods that Kevin Laverick teaches. Elements that are arguably more important than anything else. So, let’s have a look at this, and see if it is all that it could be.
What Does Trade Your Bets Offer?
As I’ve already hinted at, Trade Your Bets takes something of a multifaceted approach to a betting system. And as such, it appears as though Kevin Laverick is giving you a lot for your money. And in many respects, I think that this is undeniably true. But it also an approach that doesn’t necessarily lend itself to the best way of operating a betting system. Let me talk a little bit about why this is.
First things first, you have to break down what you are paying Kevin Laverick for. A massive part of this is a database. Specifically it is a database which goes back 10 years and provides “value calculations for upcoming fixtures all over the world”. This is no bad thing and actually, it is a very good tool. It is also unfortunately, pretty necessary to using Trade Your Bets as a wider service.
But to focus on that database, it really is a decent thing. A lot of the time when you get something like this as a part of a betting system, it’s honestly… Well, it’s a bit janky if I’m honest. But here, pretty much all of the information that Kevin Laverick provides is well laid out, informative, and it is very easy to simply glance at it and identify where there is value to be had.
You see, what Trade Your Bets does is it highlights all of the fames available on a given day. These can easily be broken down by filter. It then highlights past results. You can see whether it was a home win, away win, or a draw at a glance for the last year, the last 3 years, and the last 10 years. Kevin Laverick also covers various goal markets including BTTS and various over/under bets.
As well as this, there are also the odds available on Betfair. This means that you can very easily see where there is value. Something that is ultimately rather integral to Trade Your Bets as a wider betting system.
Ultimately, I think that it’s pretty fair to say that this is the core of Trade Your Bets. But it is a long way from the only thing that is included as well. One of the other very interesting elements are Kevin Laverick’s own trading strategies.
Now I don’t really feel like it’s particularly fair to start talking about these in detail here. At the end of the day, Kevin Laverick has put them behind a paywall and it would be quite unreasonable of me to simply start breaking them down for free elsewhere. That doesn’t mean that there is nothing I can say, and I will pick this up a little later on.
Generally speaking though, the strategies aren’t necessarily anything that I would consider to be particularly complex. Ultimately, this isn’t the worst thing in the world. What I can say is that from a user stand point, Kevin Laverick has presented them well and you shouldn’t have too much I the way of problems implementing this element of Trade Your Bets.
With that out of the way, I want to turn my attention to the aspect of Trade Your Bets that personally I consider to be a big part of what you are paying for here, and that is the tips. Now these don’t just come from Kevin Laverick, but also James Leadbetter and David Heaton.
Given that they are a part of a wider betting system, you might be forgiven for thinking that these tips are something interesting or different. And in some respects, Trade Your Bets does differ from a lot of tipster services, but that has much more to do with Kevin Laverick, as well as the involvement of James Leadbetter and David Heaton. Effectively, each of them bring something new to the table (a topic that I’ll be exploring very shortly).
How Does Trade Your Bets Work?
In terms of how Trade Your Bets works, there are really 3 different things that you need to consider. The first is the software. Honestly, this is all pretty self explanatory. Use the database to identify likely outcomes, and utilising the available odds, see where there are value bets. In turn, leverage these to, in theory,produce a long term profit for yourself.
The strategies are… Well, as I said, I’m rather loathe to go into detail. At the end of the day, I don’t see it as my place to simply give out the details. But what I can say is that they rather tie into the general themes that surround Trade Your Bets. The things that Kevin Laverick talks about are a very reasonable indicator of what to expect.
Finally, I want to talk about the tips. And tKevin Laverick First of all, Kevin Laverick specialises in over 2.5 goals tips. These are however a relatively new thing for him as he has only been sharing them since February with Trade Your Bets members (keep in mind the downtime because of lockdown).
Meanwhile, James Leadbetter focuses on double and treble bets. Obviously these come with the possibility of bigger wins, however the nature of the bets mean that they won’t land that often. Finally, David Heaton is very new to Trade Your Bets and specialises in a wider range of bets. He has a lot of experience at Goal Profits (a well known football betting site) and has supposedly produced some strong results.
What is the Initial Investment?
Now we come to pricing. And it’s a bit of a mixed bag in my opinion. It isn’t necessarily that I think that the pricing is fair, so much as the structure.. But I will talk about this a little later on. You see, Trade Your Bets is subscription based. And there are three options for this, none of which are terribly priced if I’m fair.
The first option is a monthly subscription. This is priced at £35 per month. Alternatively, there is slightly better value to be had in signing up on a quarterly basis which is priced at £85 every 3 months (effective cost of £28.33 per month). The best value option is a an annual subscription, however, at £265 for the year (effective monthly cost of £22.08) there is quite a significant outlay.
What is worth noting about all of this is as well is the fact that Trade Your Bets is being sold through Paypal. And Kevin Laverick doesn’t mention any sort of money back guarantee. This isn’t necessarily a deal breaker and it is standard for a lot of tipsters, but it is something that is worth keeping in mind.
What is the Rate of Return?
When it comes to betting systems, it is hard to definitively talk about how much you can expect to earn. Because it will vary massively from one person to the next. With that said Kevin Laverick does give us some indicators about what we can expect. Unfortunately, this insight mostly applies to the tips rather than the betting systems themselves.
Kevin Laverick claims that his own tips have produced a phenomenal profit of 89 points solely in July. It is noteworthy however that this doesn’t seem to be proofed. Elsewhere, we are told that David Heaton has made 121.84 points of profit in his first two months. Once again, these don’t seem to be proofed anywhere.
Conclusion for Trade Your Bets
Like I said at the start of this review, I really do prefer a betting system to a tipster service. But with something like Trade Your Bets, I can’t help but ask questions about what you are really getting yourself into here. Because ultimately, I see this as having more in common with a tipster service than a betting system.
Now I’m sure that Kevin Laverick would absolutely disagree with me about this. But I look at a lot of betting systems. Some of the best products I’ve ever looked at are betting systems. And in my mind the difference lies in how well equipped you are to implement what is taught on your own.
And unfortunately, I feel like most of what you are getting if you sign up for Trade Your Bets isn’t something that you can simply take away. Here’s the thing, I don’t think that Kevin Laverick’s strategies are necessarily bad, but they are a long way from competing with the better systems that I’ve seen and used.
Meanwhile, when you look at the focus of where the profit lies, it is based around the tips that Kevin Laverick provides, as well as those that James Leadbetter and David Heaton contribute. That generally isn’t the way that betting system creators will look to operate. And this also somewhat explains the pricing structure as well.
This is an important area to explore as I believe that it is one of the biggest issues that I have with Trade Your Bets. Just to come back to my original point here, if I buy a betting system, I want it to be complete. I want to be able to implement everything that is being taught to me and utilise that to produce a profit. And that is what would happen with, say, the Betfair Scalping course that is recommended here.
Meanwhile, here, if you aren’t paying for that monthly subscription, you lose out on two thirds of what Trade Your Bets is about. Except really, it’s even more than that. Because whilst the value database and the tips are “2 out of the 3 things you are paying for”, they definitely make up a much higher proportion of the content.
With all of that said, I don’t necessarily think that this is a terrible product. I just don’t think that it’s very well marketed. If this were advertised as getting access to the database and tips, with the strategies as an extra, it would be so much more attractive. It would also mean that the pricing is entirely fair and in that context, it could even be seen as being cheap.
And it is really with that caveat that I’m going to say Trade Your Bets may be worth some consideration. So long as you don’t come into this believing that you’re going to get some kind of extensive and in depth betting system, it is value for money. There are definitely worse tipsters out there who are charging more money.
If however you are looking for a decent football betting system that you can take away, use on your own time, and not pay for month in and month out, then I don’t really see how Trade Your Bets will be for you.
