Football Bankbuilder is a lay betting system that claims that you can turn £1,000 into more than £30,000 in just three years.
Before our review commenced, the system had been tested by authors Matt Fisher and Andrew David for five years and they reported only one losing month in that time.
We asked our guest reviewer, David, to put Football Bankbuilder to the test with a three month trial. He followed the instructions as detailed in the 32-page manual and placed the lay bets at Betfair with no trading involved.
The suggested bank at minimum £2 stakes was £352 and the authors indicated that 1-3 bets per day was best.
David had made 43.92 points profit during his testing of the system which earned it an easy pass rating.
We revisited the system six years later to not only see if it still worked, but also to find out if we could automate it. It turned out to be a great success with £568.38 profit during the trial from the system running on a bot.

Trial Two - Football Bankbuilder - Automated
Month One Update
We decided to run a re-trial of Football Bankbuilder as it had been around six years since our original review. We were often asked by readers, "Does Football Bankbuilder still work?".
We could not answer for sure, although there was no major reason why anything would have changed to cause it to stop working. Even so, we kicked off a new round of testing so that we could answer the question with confidence.
In our re-trial, we decided to set the system up on BF Bot Manager so that it would be completely automated. This was a fairly simple process and it has made testing the system effortless now that it's up and running.
We started with a bank of £880. This may seem like a strange amount, but it's the recommended 176 points with a starting stake of £5.00.
After one month of testing the system, there had been 163 bets and 80 had returned a profit, which was a 49.1% strike rate.
We finished the month with £142.71 profit, which worked out as 28.54 points profit.
That was a 16.2% increase to our bank in the first month, which is not too shabby since we hadn't had to lift a finger since the initial set up of the bot.
We chose to follow the compounding advice, so our starting stake for month two was £5.81.
Month Two Update
At the end of month two of our Football Bankbuilder re-trial, our bank had grown to £1,173.29. That meant that we had made a total profit of £293.29 and increased our bank by 33.3%.
There had been 280 bets altogether with 134 of them returning a profit, which was a 48% strike rate.
Our new stake for month three was calculated at £6.66 using the compounding advice from the guide (we hoped that wasn't an omen!).
We were hoping that by our next update we could hit the 50% bank growth mark. Fingers crossed!
Month Three Update
After three months testing the Football Bankbuilder system out, our bank was now up to £1,312.92, which worked out as a total of £432.92 profit. That was a 49.2% increase to our starting bank, so we had almost reached the 50% mark.
There had been 379 bets in total and 178 wins, so a strike rate of 47%.
The system seemed to be working a treat!
Month Four Update
Four months into our Football Bankbuilder review, we had made a further £135.46 profit, bringing our total profit up to £568.38. That worked out as a 64.6% increase to our bank and we were well on the way to doubling it.
There had been 481 bets altogether and 233 wins, which was a strike rate of 48%.
Trial Two Summary
Our second trial of Football Bankbuilder turned out to be even better than the first one! Not only do we stand by our original pass rating, we feel even more confident about the system now.
We started with a bank of £880, following the staking advice from the PDF. After four months our bank had grown to £1,448.38, which is a total of £568.38 profit.
This time around, we had also managed to automate the system using BF Bot Manager, meaning we could simply leave the system to run on a VPS and just watch the profits come in.
We had planned to keep the trial going until we doubled our bank, but the fixture list was looking a little quiet so we decided to wrap it up. We have no doubt that we would reach our goal in no time though, once the football schedule was more active.
It's a resounding pass for Football Bankbuilder!
Trial One - Football Bankbuilder - High/Low
Month One Update
During the first month, David used the "High/Low" algorithm which produced £64.68 profit.
From 52 lay bets, there was a liability of £212.98, which gave a return on investment of 30.4%.
Where the system suggested "LOW" his stakes were a straight £2 bet and where it showed "HIGH", the stakes were increased to £6.
Key Stats
| High/Low | Level | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Bets | 52 | 52 |
| Total Liability | £212.98 | £45.57 |

| ROI | 30.4% | 20.5% |
| Bank | £416.68 | £361.34 |
Month Two Update
During the second month, David followed the selection process algorithm which resulted in most of his bets being placed for minimum stake.
This resulted in a smaller increase in his bank size, going from £416.68 to £424.04.
Key Stats
| High/Low | Level | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Bets | 76 | 76 |

| Bank | £416.68 | £365.02 |
Month Three Update
This was the third winning month in a row for David.
He grew the bank from £424.04 to £439.84, giving the system a total of £87.84 profit (43.92 points) over three months with a very healthy ROI of 18.7%.
Key Stats

| End Bank | £439.84 | £372.92 |
Trial One Summary
David banked £87.84 profit at 18.7% ROI during his three month trial of the Football Bankbuilder High/Low system.
This worked out as 43.92 points profit based on using £2 stakes and, as you can see below, increasing stake size would have had a dramatic effect on returns:
Football Bankbuilder is very much a set-and-forget system and ideal for anyone who is short of time. It only takes a matter of minutes to select the daily bets and place them.
Match selections are made by each individual user, so everybody using the system will have different results. The authors do suggest certain types of leagues and matches to avoid, which is helpful.
With a total profit of 43.92 points in the bank, Football Bankbuilder fully deserved to be added to our list of passed systems.
What liquidity did you use in the two markets that is in the system?
Hi Kim, The minimum liquidity in the the version of the eBook that we had was £25,000.
I was thinking of what you used in the review in my book it says £25,000 and £4000 in the two markets, what settings did you use in the review?
We followed the advice from the eBook for our review.
just another system trying to survive on absurd staking plan.
Buy andLose 50% of bank..someone can help me?
Hi Niko, Have you spoken to the vendor? Perhaps they can help with your query.
I got a complete Fibonacci sequence in loss and 2 further losses..for a total of 40% of the bank..the high-low system only advises me to bet “high” but now there is no trust in the system and I can’t see commit positives.. also now that I check the review better I don’t see an adequate roi for the stake used if you use a money management system different from “high/low”…andrew just replied that the method passed the goal profits test 2 times.. but at the same time I understand that my selections and the goal profits ones are not the same so I think it’s just a matter of luck, a DD of the kind of honestly not acceptable to me .. losing almost 50% of the bank with the hope of recovering it in future months is too much for me.
Hi Niko, Sorry about your experience with FBB. There is always the risk of a long losing sequence so you should never bet with more than you would be upset at losing. If you feel uncomfortable with losing 40% of your bank, you may need to lower your stakes or use a larger starting bank.
If it’s really not a system that you feel comfortable with, you should be able to claim a refund through Clickbank within 30 days.
I’m sure the review doesn’t reflect the product, reading the comments the parameters used for match selection are different from what is suggested in the guide, other reviews searched on the web confirm my theory.. I was simply wrong to trust a review.
Niko, our review would have followed the parameters given in the version of the eBook at the time. The only variations I can see are when Dave did the original review back in 2015, he had lowered the liquidity setting.
The reason the liquidity setting is there is to make sure the match won’t have big gaps in the odds, but Dave must have found that £2,000 minimum liquidity was enough for the small stakes that he was using.
I’m not sure what other parameters you are talking about.
