What I think about RiskFreeProfit and SureBetPro

Its funny that I haven’t written any posts on SureBetPro yet… I mean, it is only the most talked about arb alert system on the internet. It is the most regularly asked about in my experience, and also the most regularly hated as well. And there are obvious reasons for both.

It is regularly talked about and asked about because it is marketted by MLM, meaning that everyone of its users tells people about it, some more rigourously than others. All of this word of mouth advertising raises interest, and the incentive to grow your matrix causes some people to take extreme measures in their advertising methods.  Some extreme claims are made, people doubt the validity of the concept and the company, questions are asked, assumptions are made, and suddenly you have a lot of conversation. The conversations are usually made up of the ignorant, trying to find out what is going on; the disbelievers and scam-accusers calling it a scam, and the users defending it. Occasionally you will find an objective third party who will try to resolve the differences between the ‘Its a scam’ crowd, and the ‘Its bigger than Jesus’ group.

I try to be this objective 3rd party whenever and wherever I can, but obviously my credibility is compromised because I am a subscriber to their service. Its easy to assume I am saying good things about them because I am trying to ‘get you’ into my matrix so I can make $2 a month off you… And there is nothing I can do to persuade some people that this isn’t the case. So be it. I do however always try my best to 1. present evidence for everything I say, 2. remain rational. I created SureBetBookies and SportsArbitrageGuide as an information source for people getting started in Sports Betting Arbitrage in the hopes that I could make money from the traffic in the form of advertising. I did not create it to drive people into my RFP matrix (unlike ohhhh so many other websites out there). Saying that however, it is clear that I would be more than happy if anyone decided to join RFP in my matrix. $2 a month IS $2 a month and I don’t mind how I make money. That being the case though, I beleive it is far more worthwhile for me to be true to the principle of keeping Sports Arbitrage Guide and all of the advice offered herein to be kept objective, helpful, and informative than it is for me to ‘sell out’ to any one alert system, bookmaker or advertiser. This website will only make me an income if you, my readers believe that I am reliable enough to listen to, and so I choose to keep my integrity first and foremost. I hope you can trust me on that.

With that rather large introduction and disclaimer, I finally reach the point of this post: what I think about RiskFreeProfit… Since I have been using SureBetPro for about 3 months now I have had a chance to really get a feel for it, while also having the benefit of testing it alongside other alert services. I can honestly say that it performs on par with the best of them (of what I have seen). It finds many arbs regularly and it finds them as they happen. It has a reasonable amount of variety but nothing special. It seems to keep the arbs it finds much more basic than some services. In short though, if you want an arb service to find arbs, SBP will do it for you, and it will do it quite cheaply.

The design of the software interface leaves a bit to be desired though. I find many minor details to be quite irritating. It can’t be resized, the place trade button is a brilliant idea, but it has been implemented terribly: The windows you are expected to trade from are too small. The menus can be resized, but you have to resize them every time you restart the application which is annoying. Thats all I can think of atm, but I have however been in contact with RFP and suggested these changes to them, and I have been told that they would implement them as soon as possible. I look forward to that happening. No doubt you will hear about it as soon as it does. I suggested it about a week ago now, so take note of the date if you like and lets see how long it takes RFP to take a serious suggestion and implement it into an upgrade.

ASide from the SureBetPro software, there is a lot more to RFP, and I think it is the rest of RFP that attracts the most attention. One of my biggest annoyances with the ‘scamsayers’ is the fact that they don’t even know what they are ‘scamsayering’ about. I can’t beleive how many times I have read “RiskFreeProfit is a bunch of scammers who will take all of your money you suckers” or something equivalent to that. The problem with this statement, aside from the fact that it is an empty claim without any evidence or rational behind it, is that they ignore the fact that first and foremost RFP is a company which sells subscriptions to a software package at $139 per month. When you remember this fact, it is hard to understand how they could be a ‘scam’. I pay them $139, and I get arbs delivered. They continue to deliver, I continue to pay. If they stop delivering, then I stop paying. Talk about business 101.

What the scamsayers really mean though, is that the RFP POOL is a scam, and they are going to take all of your money. The reason they say this is because most entities online who offer returns of 4% per week and above are indeed scams, ripp off merchants and generally bad people. I know this, hundreds of thousands of other people know this. High Yield Investment programs are vastly more often than not scams and cons. Simple. The rational is: This is an investment which gives a high yield, it is therefore a scam. Simple enough rational…but it forgets to look at the whole picture: it ignores the fact that first and foremost RFP is a company which sells subscriptions to a software package at $139 per month. And that is important. Why would a company which makes good money through a legitimate business operation go and break the law by scamming people and stealing millions of dollars? More importantly, why would a scam job go to all of the trouble of designing, refining, improving and building the empire that RFP is, only to run away with stolen money? It simply doesn’t make sense.

So why does RFP have an investment pool in the first place? LOL, this is simple: Because it allows them to lock in new members for 12 months of subscription fees. I doubt RFP make any money from their professional trading pool. I would guess that they trade, pay their traders out of their profits, and then declare the remaining as profits for the week. It is an entirely self contained entity which should cost them nothing or very little, or possibly at best make them a very small amount of money. What they get in return for that is an almost guaranteed 12 month subscription. Most other arb services have to fight to keep their members for longer than 2 months. Most peopl find out about arb trading, give it a try, realise it isn’t smiple, then quit. RFP has found a simple way to keep members longer than the 1-2 month norm, which in turn has a much greater liklihood of converting those people into lifelong members. If you are paying for this program for the next 12 months anyway, you might as well use it right? And since you are using it, you might actually learn HOW to trade…. and then suddenly you have a born again arber. Brilliant marketting strategy.

As far as I can tell, they are the main issues that are always discussed with RFP. The Pool is a big issue, and the first 12 month compounding is about to be paid out (a huge point of conversation for all of the scamsayers atm). The Software is back to working normally and consistently. And all seems to be on the up for RFP. I hope that I am not wrong with anything that I have said, but of course, I am nothing more than a self-educated arber who is doing my best to understand this industry. I am not all knowing… not yet anyway.

I look forward to the years to come!
