LONDON, February 6 /PRNewswire/ -- A Tyne and Wear carer has won over GBP33k in the past year, simply by betting on the fluctuating pound and the volatile financial markets on fixed-odds financial betting site http://www.BetsForTraders.com.
In 2007, Phil Brazier, 49, gave up his job in the capital to return to the North East to look after his elderly parents. He sold his London flat at the height of the property boom and moved back to Tyne and Wear where he now spreads his time in between caring, sales consulting and managing a number of buy-to-let properties.
Phil had previously tried buying shares but had found it was seldom profitable and he decided to try a different tack. It was then that he discovered http://www.BetsForTraders.com, a leading financial bookmaker that specialises in fixed-odds financial betting.
Phil's knowledge of the markets was sketchy, so he used newspapers, periodicals and the web to bring himself up to scratch. He also practiced financial betting by setting up an account on http://www.BetsForTraders.com and trying his luck with the 10,000 virtual dollars awarded to each new customer.
Within a couple of months, Phil was starting to feel more confident and he decided to bet some of his own money. He chose primarily to bet on currency fluctuations, and occasionally the major indices such as the FTSE, and regularly won up to GBP1,000.
Phil comments: The beauty of fixed-odds financial betting is that it offers a way to make money even when the pound is weakening against other currencies - which means that bad news for everyone else can often be good news for me.
I like using BetsForTraders.com as I can only lose my initial stake, which allows me to control my risk. It's an easy-to-use platform, offering real-time pricing and the ability to build my own bet - tailored to my own needs.
Phil now bets on the site several times a week and has used his winnings to reinvest, put some towards his properties, and he has saved a portion in cash ISAs.
