FOOTBALL BETTING IS CHANGING
You can be part of the revolution
MOST of us are sick of losing our accumulator every week. Our six-fold ruined at the last moment when Curzon Ashton concede to Leamington, and our weekend is over. For a while, there’s been a sense that there must be something better – a different, more satisfying way to use our football knowledge.
Well now there is.
Leading the charge away from traditional bookmakers is Football Index. The platform replicates a stock market, allowing you to buy and sell virtual shares in footballers. Share prices on the Index rise and fall based on supply and demand – the more traders purchase shares in a footballer, the higher prices rise.
The platform went live in 2015 – and many traders have already made profits due to Football Index’s speedy growth. Of course – more users mean higher share prices and Football Index believe this is only the beginning. The 2019-20 season is projected to be the biggest ever on the Index, making it the perfect time to get involved and create a portfolio.
There are four ways to win with Football Index – ways the shares you own can make you money. The first revolves around what’s known as capital appreciation: shares are bought at low prices and sold when their value increases. Makes sense – and brings out your inner scout as you scour the football landscape for the next big thing.
The three other ways to win are known as Dividends. There are three distinct types. In-Play dividends are payouts when players score goals and get assists – a bit like fantasy football (only you win real money). Simple.
Match Day dividends are paid out to the forward, midfielder and defender that finish top of their respective ranking. The ranking is calculated through a scoring matrix, powered by Premier League partner Opta, which measures performance – equally similar to fantasy football.
The third set of payouts traders can win are Media dividends – paid to the players that come top of the Media Rankings. The Media scoring system takes 25 different news sources and grades player mentions in article headlines. As a rule of thumb, the player with the most positive media mentions on any one day wins Dividends. So it pays to keep an eye on the headlines – which has never been easier in today’s digital age.
