Still considering FTS Ultimate for this season. Join in October for £479 saving £120
09/10/2026
If you join in October, you shouldn't pay a August price.
We're two months into the season. Joining FTS Ultimate now means fewer matchdays and fewer weeks of AI selections ahead than joining in August. So the October price reflects that.
Get the rest of 2026/27 for £ 479 with code UltOct2627. That's £120 off the £599 season price.
What you get:
- Two full data sheets across 11 leagues, updated twice a week.
- A member dashboard: league form, fixtures with the model's price set against the market's, and a match-by-match deep-dive.
- AI selections every process day, with the running record shown openly.
- A staking calculator and a bet record sheet.
It's data and analysis to help you make your own decisions, not tips.
The October price runs to 31 October.

"""Something's happening"" isn't a signal. A price that hasn't caught up with the match is.
1. Pick matches and markets before kick-off
2. Wait for price and match to move apart
3. Pressure alone isn't a signal
4. No signal, no trade

FTS Betslip, Episode 3: When to bin a system.
1,200 lays.
98 points up.
Do you need 5,000 more bets to prove it, or are you already there?
After Episode 2, a lot of you sent me the same email: if I need thousands of bets to know whether my system works, should I just give up?
No. And some of that is on me. The laying section needed ten minutes, not two.
If you lay and record your ROI on liability, multiply it by the odds minus one before it goes anywhere near a sample-size formula. At lay odds of 3.5, the wrong figure overstates the answer more than six times.

New episode every Tuesday.
35% at odds of 3.0 is a 5% edge. 35% at 2.8 is minus 2%.
Same strike rate. Same system. Two-tenths of a point on the price.
At 3.0, 35 winners in every 100 bets return 105 points. At 2.8, it returns 98.
Most people never do this check. They watch the results, which take hundreds of bets to tell you anything useful. The price tells you much sooner.
Take the strike rate your system was built on. Apply it to the prices you are actually getting, not the ones in the backtest. If the answer isn't profitable anymore, the edge has gone at the prices available to you, whatever your results say.
That doesn't need 2,000 bets. It needs 100s and a calculator.
If the gap is yours (betting too late, betting into thin markets, taking whatever's on offer), that is an ex*****on problem, and you can fix it. If the price simply is not there anymore, the system may be finished
Tottenham are bottom of the Premier League. Two points from five games. Lost 2-3 at home to Villa, who hadn't won all season until they came to us.
That is after a summer of spending more than £300m.
It's the cleanest lesson in football right now. You can't buy your way out of a lack of structure. Talent with no plan and no discipline still concedes three at home to the side below you.
Money gets you the ingredients. It does not cook the dinner.
The same applies to your betting. A new system, a new subscription, a new tool: none of it works without a process you actually stick to.
"Spurs at Old Trafford when the league's back. I'll be expecting nothing and still be disappointed."
£5,330 in a week. NOT typical, and we're not going to pretend it is. The process behind it is worth reading.
This is how Mark, an FTS member, described it:
"By using FTS Advanced Dashboard, Pre-match download sheets and cross-checking with the FTS In-Play tool, listening to all your advice, following some of the AI-advised picks, then checking they qualify from the FTS In-Play tool."
That is four checks before and during a game. It is one process, followed consistently, rather than jumping from site to site and system to system.
The In-Play Tool is the final check in that chain. It runs 4 algorithms per game, refreshes every 15 seconds and shows live match odds on whatever device you use. /
This is an individual member result. It isn't a guarantee of what you'll make, but it shows what time, patience and process can achieve
