Redforever86 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Anyone on football index? Basically a stock market for footballers. Some major returns being made off the platform as it grows in popularity.Was on it about a year ago. Was good but mainly based around EPL then and couldnt be fucked with that. I believe its improved a lot since then and the daily scoring is based on stats and not news? Actually invested a little in it via crowdfunding so hopefully it takes off. Although if I left in the money on the actual index Id of done a lot better. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Anybody bothered with this? Was speaking to a guy who reckons he's made £1600 profit putting in £100 a month over the last year. He's not done anything too fancy, fairly obvious picks, reckons if he spent more time on it he'd have made a bit more. I probably bet about £100 a month and the last few have been a total disaster, starting to think this might be a safer option but not as much fun. Link to comment
Zeus Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I can commit to five pounds a month. Will this make me a millionaire? Link to comment

Just signed up...I've got a fair bit of free time and seems more of a laugh than spending money on phone games and shite. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Better off reading up on matched betting and using something like this https://www.oddsmonkey.comI tried that a while back but I'm not organised enough for it. Ended up forgetting shit and missing bets etc. It's a cunt of a lot of work even with the odds monkey help. Football index just seems to be watching a lot of football and following transfer pish. Might bang in £100 and see what happens. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 My main worry is that it's all a big ponzi scheme and that if everyone tried to cash in at the same time it'd be totally fucked Link to comment
SheepieBaaBaa Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 My main worry is that it's all a big ponzi scheme and that if everyone tried to cash in at the same time it'd be totally fucked The increases and decreases in value will be set to "more or less" offset each other, so really you are just competing with other users to have a better player portfolio. If everyone just buys shares in the same player the cost of the incremental shares will go up and also some people will invest in players whose share value goes down, so the total amount of money in the pot should always be enough to cover cash outs (assuming they have their algorithms setup properly). There's a fair scope for fuck up on their part, but as long as you treat it as a bit of fun and don't put your life savings in it I don't see the harm. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I done it at the very start, but got bored and cashed out for a very small profit as it was very limited at the start. If I had kept the shares I’d be up a few hundred by now. Seems a lot more in depth and interesting these days and I think it’ll only get bigger and bigger. Wouldn’t say there is a risk of it failing, it’s a market, the company who runs it profits by taking a small fee on transactions. They don’t put any money into it other than using a percentage of their fees to pay the dividend on the player who is said to be performing the best. Not sure if it has started to be based on player stats yet (for the dividend) or still just press coverage. If it continues to grow which it seems to be constantly doing you should make cash.

manboobs109 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've been having a look today, didn't realise that they take commission so that is obviously how they make money. Also they will make plenty from the IPO's so there is plenty to be made do it legitimately. I'm going to have a go soon, I'll do a bit more research first. Link to comment

Or check out their FB etc Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Had a wee dabble on this today. I'll post my picks up if anycunt is interested. If not then I'll not bother my arse. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Had a look at this. Punted on Oliver Burke. Looks like he'll score a barrow load for the papes. Link to comment

Bluto10 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Anyone on football index? Basically a stock market for footballers. Some major returns being made off the platform as it grows in popularity.I bought an old footballer for 1200. Trained him, now he’s worth three grand. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Just spied this. Waste of time unless you bang in a few grand imo. I don't like the media points think either, I'd rather dividends were on performance alone. I'll keep my hundred notes in in the hope Tierney gets a move as I bought a few shares in him Link to comment
Parklife Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Seems a lot of shite. Only some players are tradeable. So the opportunity to "buy" players before they're known to everyone isn't there. Lot of pish IMO. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This has went properly tits up. Cunts bumped out of thousands. In theory I was £300 up but I never took any out and it looks like it's all gone. Chat that it's been a big Ponzi scheme. Think there will be some shit about letting them sponsor clubs if it turns out it's all been a fucking scam. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Don't think it's a scam, they were in profit at one point. Changed the dividend system and crashed the market. Think they can't handle the amount of folk wanting to cash out. Had £300 in the companies shares. Ca win them all. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 They were paying dividends from money people were buying shares from, exactly like a Ponzi scheme. They needed constant investment or it went tits. Link to comment

As much as I don't think it's a Ponzi scheme they are still to blame. Link to comment
