Maxnet was introduced as an Alternative Investment Product on 1st January 2004. 

The product is based on the performance of our team of skilled football analysts who recommend trades on football matches laying individual teams NOT TO WIN.

The beauty of MaxNet is that two of the three possible outcomes of each match
are in your favour.

Finding Winners is Hard

Millions of people around the world are interested in football, many like to back their opinions and football betting has increased hugely over the last five years; live televised matches often have over £20 million wagered on the outcome.

When it comes to finding winning sports selections Centaur are about as good as it gets (see www.centaurglobal.com). However even we find it hard at times, particularly when a last minute penalty results in a banker home win ending up as a draw!

Finding Losers is Easier

Over 80 per cent of football betting is on one team to win. There is however a better way. If instead of betting on one team to win you bet on the other to lose and the result is a draw, you win. In other words, two of the three possible outcomes result for you, in a win! Bet on a team to lose and you get the draw, and at the same odds.

Which is why MaxNet is such a winner. With two out of the three possible outcomes in your favour plus the benefit of Centaur's expert advice the results have been consistently and spectacularly profitable.

The Betting Exchange Revolution

Traditionally, the only way to make money betting on football - or, more often than not, lose money - was by backing those all too hard to find winners. And, to place your bet, you placed it with a bookmaker who had all the odds in his favour.

Now all of that has changed.

The introduction in 2001 of the Betting Exchanges has done for football betting what spread betting, contracts for difference, warrants, futures, options and the like have done for the stock market investor. Just as investors and traders can now profit as easily from falling share prices as from rising ones, (ie, they can bet on the price of a stock going down and profit when it does), so Betting Exchange traders can bet on a team losing and, if and when it does, profit accordingly.

Exchange is no Robbery

Just as stock market brokers and dealers match buyers (those who believe the price will rise) and sellers (those who believe the price will fall) so the Betting Exchanges match backers (those betting on a team to win) and layers (those betting on a team to lose).

You believe a particular team will lose, someone else believes it will win. Your bets are matched. The team loses, you get their money; the team wins they get yours. How much changes hands depends on the size of the trade and the odds it was transacted at.

And what do the Exchanges get out of it?

Well, unlike bookmakers they do not mind who wins or loses. They are facilitators, nothing more. And for providing the facility they charge a small commission on winning trades.

Tax Free

All MaxNet/Betting Exchange profits are tax free.

"I have been a Maxnet client since it began and have regularly received profits way in excess of my stock market portfolio. The service I receive from the Maxnet Office is absolutely first rate and I look forward to sending their annual crate of champagne out of my 2007 profits!" Roger Clements, Harley Street, London
