The Sportarbs platform is a great concept as ordinary investors can profit from the world of sports arbitrage trading. And when I joined everything worked pretty smoothly. There were a few ups and downs with regard to payment processors but all in all the process seemed to work.

A recent announcement from WBwso means that they are no longer actively seeking new members. Their announcement says that they have grown to a size where they believe they can manage member numbers efficiently.

Over the last few days they report that support responses have been slowing down due to holidays and the like. This has spurred them into making the decision to shut up shop to new sign ups.

For those who joined but have yet to make a deposit then it looks as though you are still able to as no restrictions have been announced.

I can just see it now, the naysayers will be out in force blowing their own trumpet reminding us all how clever they were in warning us about Imperia Invest. If you haven’t heard already Imperia has posted a very brief update to the effect that database programming issues will delay access to the iBanking solution for another 2 to 3 weeks.

I am a lucky man who has three daughters that treat me like a king (in my dreams…).

They are of an age where they have jobs and need to consider how best to save for the future. In fact one of them worked as a temp recently for a financial consultancy and saw that a lot of people have money tied up in shares. She told me that she might do some investing herself.

I’m lucky enough to be flying off on holiday for a week or so shortly and needed to get some travel insurance. Rather than go back to the company I used before I decided to try one of the price comparison sites.

My thinking was that I wouldn’t have to trawl through hundreds of different offerings as the work would be done for me. All I have to do is find the product that suits my needs and away I go.

How would you feel about spending a whole year testing betting advisory services and systems? Each day would involve a detailed analysis of all the results from the systems you are testing.

Now, to be honest you’d have to be pretty dedicated to do something like that. Especially as you’d have to shell out a fair wedge of money to buy the systems in the first place.

The whole premise behind this scheme (apart from personal gain) is to find honest, profitable systems that have the potential for a long term profit.

As promised Imperia Invest has published an update in the back office. Surprisingly for them the update is pretty long and does provide some tempting news.

Of course, the end point is still not quite there and we have another two weeks to wait before anyone will be in a position to confirm one way or the other.

One of the services I subscribed to last year was Lunchtime Profit Alert. The idea was simple (just the way I like it).

Each Friday you receive an email containing recommended bets on the upcoming soccer matches for the weekend.

Sad to say that the performance on a weekly basis wasn’t that spectacular. Not all was lost though as some pre-season recommendations did pretty well and recent activity at the World Cup also provided a profit.

I had a request from a reader that I thought would help others so decided to write this post. They wanted to know how to make a purchase at WBwso by using Liberty Reserve.

In many cases a purchase such as this is common across many websites so the steps I’ll take you through can be followed elsewhere, just change the relevant sites or payment processors you are using.

Will the price of gold go up?

Is the price of BP shares likely to go higher?

Does the S&P seem to be falling?

If you were to ask the above questions to a trader you’d end up with an answer that probably left you none the wiser. Of course there are arguments either way and it’s the brave soul who sticks out their neck to predict where things are heading.
