One more thing…
With the FIFA World Cup around the corner, would you like make some money while watching?
Apologies for advocating the round ball game, but with the World Cup almost here, we would like to bring your attention to a brilliant and new(ish) online platform that combines the enjoyment of fantasy sports with low-risk betting, Football Index.
FRG has been playing Football Index for over a year now, and while we were sceptical at the start (it seemed too good to be true), the returns that can be made are huge.
In the simplest of terms, Football Index is a platform that allows fans to become traders on a football stock market, using their knowledge of the game to buy and sell players and make money. Money is made though increases in player value as well as dividends paid out regularly for top performers on the pitch as well as players courting attention in the media.
We’ve made a tidy profit on it at FRG, we love it and we’re sure you will love it too. They are running some great promotions over the World Cup, so there has never been a better time to sign up and get trading so take a look here and best of luck with your trades (over 18’s only obviously).
