Joined the football index in October of 2018 and it was two things that led me here. First was i winning bet on skybet, i won just under a £1000 on a weekend accumulator and i was buzzing until i checked my all time profit loss. I was £20 up now on skybet after probably 7 years of gambling, i wasn’t happy. The second thing that led me here was that on that same weekend i had watched a Dortmund game and spotted Jadon Sancho and thought he’s going to be big. On the Sunday of that weekend i was lying in bed thinking i wonder if i can place a bet on a players future so i typed in betting on a players future into google and it came up with football index and buying futures in footballers. I didnt have a clue about financial markets but i thought this could be something id find interesting. Did a tiny bit of reading and then joined in the next day.
I started with £50 bought a few sancho and Kante(like most of us do) and a couple of others. Now when i said i did a tiny bit of reading on it and had no knowledge of financial markets i mean it. I really knew nothing and as i bought one of the players a saw him go up 1p so i sold, then i bought another that did the same and sold again. I then realised 100 shares moved a player a penny so stupidly i started buying and selling and only noticed something was up as my balance crept down. This is when i decided more reading was required and I found out about commission 😂 i had rushed in without any thought.
Now in my own defence theres was very little information available. I dont recall there being an Academy page, the forum was quiet, really quiet you could read every single post from a day within half an hour at bedtime, Twitter was just a place to boast and the only thing i could find was a small tab in the app that said terms and conditions. You couldnt even search online for information as there was so little out there. Upon reading the T&c’s I found out about commission, dividends and a few other essential things but like most at the time i had to spend and potentially lose money to learn.
Later that month the share split was starting to get mentioned and all of a sudden prices started climbing and my trading started making me money, then one day i was sitting at my kids football and got a notification about a deposit bonus, i logged in and players were flying. I thought it over for a few days and decided to go for it. I figured i spent around £2500 per year at the bookies so decided id quit traditional gambling and put a years worth of bets in here via a credit card which was perfectly legal at the time and i had no debt so i just say it as an advance on my betting stakes 😲. I withdrew my £250 bonus and all dividends to pay of the credit card faster and between then and the share split my £2500 portfolio grew to over £4000 despite the fact i was over trading and still didnt really know what i was doing. Then we had IPD’s introduced in that time plus another deposit bonus which i traded and withdrew afterwards which contributed to paying that card off quicker.
After the share split they did a big summer deposit bonus and with all debt paid off i put another £6000 in and thats when i really got into FI properly, making my own decisions instead of just following others and joined index gain to up my research in more depth and then the October crash happened. That was when i learned i couldnt solely trade based on players i liked i had to be ready to adapt with sentiment. I decided at that point to move what i could into big media friendly holds and a week later the dividend review happened and all these players rocketed. Now my trading style depends solely on proven dividend earners and when i get worried sentiment is shifting i have a set group of players i fall back on. That has worked very well and saved me on the approach of COVID as i noticed sentiment starting to drop and the market not growing as it should. During this period times got tough as they did for most so i withdrew some profits a little moreto help with living expenses but i genuinely thought i had FI all figured out and then they introduced Goal keepers and forced me to rethink everything 🤬 and here we are today sitting with a portfolio full of goal keepers
Anyone coming into this platform needs to understand it takes a while to learn the ropes. I probably took longer than most to get to grips with it but the more work you put in the more you get out. Not only has this product saved me from weekly gambling losses ive also made money doing it and im confident i will continue to do so for years to come. The wife even signed up 3 weeks ago and has already made 20% in dividends. Shes only playing with £50 but is also enjoying it wven though she has zero football knowledge 😂
Anyway thats my football journey so far as requested by @Advinculas-Index and i will say an awful lot more has happened in my time here but the post is long enough and i cant be bothered writing anymore 😂
-
TLDR (Did really) 😂 - is Index gain worth it btw?
-
@Advinculas-Index it was but i havent used it since COVID kicked off so cancelled it. Now im not sure i need it for all the keepers
-
@Advinculas-Index indexgain doesn't seem to have updated for the new season (could be because I'm a pikey and don't pay for it...?)
-
I use Index scout and Index price alerts - both free

I use both too. You will notice Scout hasn't updated the table for GK PB. I emailed them and they said it should be available sometime this month.

I'm sure I've read shorter books! 😬😆😉. Happy index day mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heres to another ten 🍻🍻🍾🍾💷💷. You've made a massive difference round here especially during the last few months, keep up the great work

@Black-Wolf just be careful what you broadcast re wife having an account. As t+c state one acc per household and I’ve had some shit over it from Edd/ customer services
-
@Gboar its ok for your partner to have an account theres loads of households with parents and kids with accounts. There was even a husband and wife couple on one of the podcasts. We have separate incomes and use separate bank accounts aswell which doesn’t complicate checks
-
@Black-Wolf celebrate with a 🍺 bruv 👍...I reckon you started within a week or so of me..but you’ve probably earned 2x what I have...I’ll put it down to age 😉
-
@Friedeggs i think we all could of made a lot more if we understood it all or at least had somewhere to learn it better. I think a play money version of FI would go a long way in improving the platform and the level of satisfied customers
-
Happy FI-Day Buddy
-
That’s from fi customer services
-
@Gboar and yet you see and hear of family members under one roof being allowed separate accounts all the time. Ill message them and check again. Cheers
-
Doesnt Goonerette and her Husband have separate accounts, they seem quite well known on twitter and have appeared on a few podcasts?
-
@Black-Wolf yes let me know what they say as this is what we got thankfully she still registered to her mums but She doesn’t want her account shutting she’s 11k in profit 😂😂
-
@Gboar we got the same as you although they just quoted the t&c’s. We shut her account to avoid any complications. She only had £50 account but she was enjoying it. Shame
Apparently i owe her money for all the profits she would have made in the future.
-
@Advinculas-Index yeah plus there must be loads of sons and their dads with accounts within one house. Its not worth the hassle over her £50 account

This is a line my misses would bring out

@Highfields96 i get the feeling its going to cost me regularly 😂
